Some very good pass rushers in this draft

and that's a big need for us. Obviously Star Lotulelei and Johnathon Hankins are 1 and 2 respectively on my big board right now for us but even if both those go before our pick I wouldn't mind looking at Barkevious Mingo or Sam Montgomery. I know MIngo looks better fit for the 3-4 but I haven't seen a defensive end with athleticism like that in a while. Also even after Star and Hankins there are some great defensive tackles such as Johnathan Jenkins and Kawaan Short. So my point is if the draft were held tomorrow we'd be in great position to add a playmaker on the defensive line, hopefully at DT.

It's scary how good Mingo is

This video is the entire LSU defense but he's in half the plays anyways. That dude hits so fuging hard and his speed and athleticism is out of this world. He's best fit in a 3-4 and only weighs 240 pounds so he wouldn't be a great fit here, but if he's on the board when we're on the clock you definitely have to think long and hard about it. But this kid will probably go top-3 and I don't think we'll be that high but yeah Mingo is arguably the best player in the draft.

Both LSU guys just seem like they're better fit for a 34. If Star and Hankins are both gone by when we pick, one guy that I love and would not mind taking at all is "Bjoern Werner, DE FSU". This kid is a future star pass rusher in the NFL.

Hardy is average and Alexander has been playing well for a rookie but Werner is a huge upgrade over both Hardy and Alexander. Werner may even be a better rusher than CJ.

I like him too but he's not close to as good as Mingo. But yeah I agree Mingo is best fit for the 3-4. I wish Jadevon Clowney was gonna be in this draft and we finished 1-15 lol

Sam Montgomery is a 4-3 DE in the pros. He is 260 and 6'4 who is better against the run than Mingo...who is going to be a 3-4 OLB because of his lack of bulk and high, explosive athleticism.

I personally think that either Safety position, corner, or even DT might be bigger needs than DE. That being said it all depends on where the panthers are picking and who is available. I don't think you reach for any position of need and take the best player available of Safety, Corner, or DT.

If he's there, I'd take Montgomery but I do agree that other positions maybe more important. I view him as an instant impact type who will be very good in the league

More pass rush is never a bad thing and can make our new safety's job easier next year (whoever he may be)

Yes Montgomery has the size and weight to be a 43 but hes clearly isnt built like one physically. And he should hope that a 34 team picks him and not a 43. He need to be used like an Aldon Smith.

I know this is going to sound crazy but what if we land a high high pick. I mean a top 5 pick and when our clock starts ticking, a kid named Jarvis Jones from UGA is still on the board. Would anyone be opposed to taking this kid? He would be BPA. Jones is the best rusher in this draft imo. I know many will be quick to say why the fu(k would we take another lb, but hes a different lb. He's a Von Miller type of lb. This kid is the closest thing to Von Miller who can still be play in a 43 D, even though he's a 34 in the next level. Im just saying this bc Anderson is average, TD is closer to being a liability, and we've seen Beason recently. Jones is absolutely an upgrade over these three guys.

And I can already see Jones being an absolute monster every Sunday rushing the QB. Georgia has produced some great talents of rushers in the recent years: Geno Atkins and Houston.

Just something to talk about. JARVIS JONES! It's really not crazy.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By frankw · Posted

      Right and I think we can have a conversation about that. But even with the scheme he should still be able to muster more than 1.5 sacks right? I mean DJ Johnson played in Evero's scheme too but that didn't stop us from calling him a bust. Scourton didn't seem to have trouble flashing. There can be different things true at one time.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I assume you are quoting my still. If so, I don't know what your argument is since mine was simply showing a play where Bryce scored a TD against the Rams in the playoffs where another poster used a similar still of Herbert's line to defend his poor performance last night. Like I said, Herbert is a better QB but Bryce wins the game last night for the Chargers. It simply is something he does better than Herbert and would play to his strengths. Someone even said earlier Chargers only win 1 or 2 games this year if Bryce was their QB which is so absurdly laughable it wasn't even worth trying to address. I mean this thread is literally called "Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panther's History" so I understand there is no objective arguments to be had here but I found that amusing.

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      I think his knee would make a good reason to switch to guard IF he returns.  Half don't.  Half of those don't last too long.  The strain on a knee (320lb man) vs speed rushers is more substantial.  So I would keep him if I could on a small contract (he will make $17.5 in 2026 fully guaranteed) and think of him as a possible guard for the post Lewis/Hunt era.  Knee injuries in big men are not invitations to invest in them.
