I understand we have lots of other spots on D that need to be addressed, but I think this dude is the REAL MF DEAL. The guy isn't even 21 yet. He has led the nation the past two seasons in tackles. Having him and Beason on the same field for the next 7 years or so wouldn't even be fair. Go watch the tape. This dude does not miss tackles and has the instincts of a rabid wolverine. Hurney, pull the trigger.

No issue here with it....dude is flat out an all around great football player. He also made more plays BEHIND the line of scrimmage in college than guys like Willis or Beason.

Beason + Luke > Beason plus whoever. In a league where RBs and TEs have morphed into recieving options. LB is important despite what some claim.

LB play was worse than DL play last year. Beason coming back doesn't fix everything

It won't do any good to waste your time going back and forth because people don't value the position and have high hopes Beason will come back 100%. But i do agree that when you consider attitude, desire, work ethic, production, measurables, etc, I think he is the best defensive player in the draft and will make a big difference to whoever takes him. He is good enough to start day 1.

That is all I will say.

I totally agree with your point about the TEs in the league. It is a necessity on defense to have LBs that can lock up TEs. I've always hated Tony Gonzales burning us and of course Jimmy Graham is a problem. So a LB who is versatile along with Beason is a great addition. I'm excited about this pick!

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
