A detailed breakdown of each pick with this most recent podcast going over picks 11-15.

They have the Panthers taking the usual suspects (Sheldon Richardson, Star, Tavon Austin)

What is awesome is when they speak of other options like Patterson or Vaccaro then rave about Tavon Austin in great detail and argure that he is above those two.

-Discuss Austin's coaches raving about his toughness and how he never missed practices or games with injuries. High character guy who isnt a red zone threat but will make an offense dynamic.

-Spoke of Pattersons concern for a team to have to simplify a playbook as he has little experience in Division 1 playbooks and lacks route concept understanding.

-Mcshay spoke about that he would choose Austin over Patterson bc Austin is finished product with elite playmaking skills.

Some other highlights of the podcats are the potential busts and sleepers.

Busts
- pretty much said that all picks 1-10 are scary like the 48% bust rate of DTs chosen in the top 20 picks. All the Qbs naturally.

-discussed OLB Olgletree and the serious off-field character concerns about him..and that he is a dynamic talent. Ga coaches "but his onfield character is great! WOW"

Sleepers

Andre Ellington..had a bad 40 at the combine but is explosive. Spoke about a HB in from a small school..and a DE that destroyed Alabama's tackles before tearing his ACL.

here is a link so you can hear it.

I think Tavon will be a baller but unless DEdwards signs it appears we will draft a dt for the 3 technique .I would love to see how Shula .views the Austin Cam combo.I believe in the right scheme he will account for 1500 yards per season.Very special guy as a scat back or slot receiver.He could create so many match up problems.

The DT bust rate concerns me--it has for years. It obviously scared Marty H, because he never drafted one. I would not be surprised to see us trade down and grab a NT like Jesse Williams instead of a 3 technique like Richardson.

Richardson is a scary prospect at DT to me. Love his motor, but he has never shown an ability to do much more than shoot gaps. Can he play 2 gap? Larry Warford (G, Kentucky) stonewalled Richardson.

I have also seen comparisons between Richardson and JJ Watt in terms of size, athleticism, and motor.

I do not like drafting DT in the first round, but I think we have to do so. I hope Star or Floyd falls to us, but I doubt it.

Definitley need a DT.. No question.

Honestly I think signing a Ginn, if it happens might Be a sign that WR aint happening no matter who is avail..although we have worked out quite a few..

Yea not much denying we need two DTs. I think NT could be taken in the 2nd.

I think i read the bust rate for 1st rd DTs is 48%......that is a 50% chance which is too high for me.Even the guys like Darius who are not bust seem to disappear in the NFL and are just not as dominate until they have 3 or 4 years in the league.I guess it takes that time to develop the physical and mental aspects of the game. I thought D Edwards was a steal for us and am surprised he is not a panther this year.Richardson sounds like he may be a panther

I'm just hoping we get three starters out of this draft. Not sure how likely it is... Especially if we cannot trade back and pick up a third. I know they will have their struggles and rookie learning curves but if three draft picks can come in and make an impact it'll bode well for our season.

Say we select a DT, a Guard, and a WR or Safety with our first three picks. Do you see those three being upgrades over those on our current roster and getting significant time? The first and second rounder should both be able to win starting gigs and I hope we hit on our 4th in a big way.

The 4th round pick will have to be a great one.i wonder if there is a OG that could start in the 4th?

Mcshay raves about where the Third round is the best part of the draft. I felt sad afterwards.

all depends on who you draft.

we could get 3 starters out of the draft easily.

hopkins/patton/rodgers/hunter

jenkins/williams

og in the 4th.

I really hope we don't draft a dt with our 1st pick. The chances of the top dt's in this years draft class being a bust is too high for my liking. If Lane Johnson falls, we should pick him, if not, i would like to see us get Tavon Austin or Kenny Vacarro then try and get larry warford in the 2nd

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
