Panthers Round 2 Prediction - Johnthan Banks


Zod

Recommended Posts

It will take a bit of good fortune, but I do think Banks will be the Panthers 2nd round pick. They may need to trade up just a bit to grab him, but it will be well worth it.

Started as a Freshman (can handle pressure), 6'2, 185, and dominated in the SEC. Played well through injury and pain. Performs well in run support.

Make it happen.

Banks is good but limited to a zone guy...

Not sure about that. Everything I read says the jury is out on his ability on an island.

We sure seemed to get the most of our CB's last year, one of the few bright spots in coaching. I am thinking they could really polish this kid.

Nice prediction..........could very well fall into our lap.

dominated in the SEC

The SEC isn't exactly loaded with talented receivers. However, I did watch him against tennessee and he matched up really well with Patterson. He's not as physical against the run as his size would indicate but he does well enough. I'd be happy with him in the second round for sure. Rather have Taylor or Hayden but it's looking like both those guys will be gone by then.

IMHO Banks is the most underrated player in this draft. I know others would dislike the pick, but I really would love to get this guy. I change my mind so much about who I want, I think I really will just be fine with any combination of OL, DT, CB, S, or WR in the first two rounds.

funny how more time off the field changes draft status than directly after the season. Banks was a first rounder all day a couple months ago and mysteriously has dropped probably to the second round, possibly even behind his teammate Slay. I would be very happy if he fell to us in the second.

    • The Rossi things isn't going away, either... https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/3312416/unfinished-business-7-players-to-watch-in-back-half-of-nhl-offseason The Wild and Rossi shouldn't be having any trouble hammering out an extension. Rossi, an RFA turning 24 in September, recorded the second-most points on the team last season (60 in 82 games). The smart, skilled, highly competitive 5-foot-9 Austrian is a homegrown top-six center. Minnesota has $10 million in cap space and no other significant spots to fill to finalize its 2025-26 roster. Problems lurk below the surface, however. Coach John Hynes demoted Rossi to the fourth line in the playoffs, dropping his nightly usage from 18 minutes in the regular season to 11 in the first-round series loss to Vegas. GM Bill Guerin's top to-do list item at the moment is to lock up Kirill Kaprizov. The superstar winger, who's been eligible for an extension since July 1, is due for Leon Draisaitl-type money (around $14 million average annual value) starting in 2026-27. Guerin has said there's no rush to sign, trade, or match an offer sheet for Rossi. If he stays, a short-term extension makes sense, since it gives both player and team flexibility. If he leaves, a trade is far more likely than an offer sheet. Half of the league could use a second-line center, and Rossi still has upside. The Hurricanes desperately need to upgrade at 2C (Jesperi Kotkaniemi isn't going to cut it) and have plenty of cap space. Ditto for the Sabres, who picked Jack Quinn one spot before Rossi went to the Wild in the 2020 draft. Mammoth bench boss Andre Tourigny coached Rossi in junior, and they don't have as much wiggle room, but trading top-six winger Nick Schmaltz (plus a pick) could make the math work. Guerin wants to make a so-called "hockey trade" here.
