Name Me One Dominant Dt Under 300

I just think Ingram is better suited to a 34 and think that we are better off at de than we are at dt... but i wouldn't be astonished if we ended up with ingram if he has made good impressions on our coaches

And I think we are better off at DT than DE right now. I doubt the Panthers care what either of us think, though..........

Guys like Justin Tuck may be 6'5" but his arms are 33 inches. So you think that 1 1/2 inches is a huge difference and likely to make him unsuccessful?? That is roughly a 4% difference. Sounds about as bad as the 3 lbs arguments, I wonder if small foot size means you are unstable and likely to fail as well. Arm length may be an issue for offensive guys although I think somewhat overblown, but not for defensive guys,

Um, arm length is important for DEs. It's what makes JPP as good as he is despite having no good pass rush move and why Brandon Graham is a bust. Ingram isn't going to be able to play 4-3 End effectively because of it. Hell, he couldn't play it well in college and most of his pressure came from lining up at defensive tackle.

First of all. Point out where I said he wouldnt be successful. All I said was he had shorter arms. I still think he's gonna be great so don't point it out like ibwas being lame like the 3lbs comparison. I didn't say it was a big deal. I said he had shorts arms.

If it isn't an issue then why bring it up. It sounds as sincere as if a girl says his boyfriend's cox is short but it doesn't matter. Sorry couldn't help it,

Arm length and role are my only concerns with him.

I am probably different than most here but was thinking the fact we could use him as a DE and linebacker would make him uniquely able to help us given we are using a lot of hybrid looks. I think the league is going to lighter quicker linemen who can get to the quarterback so I think he could be the wave of the future. But he is not a traditional 4-3 DE for sure.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
