Aaron Donald is special

I know we are already stacked at defensive tackle but who ever picks up this kid will have a stud. One of the quickest d-tackles I have seen in a while with strength and size to go along with his skill set.  If the G-man did decide to draft Donald I wouldnt lose any sleep over it, but its highly unlikely.

Havent seen much of the kid, but heard a lot of good stuffs.

 

I'm not sure about Donald, but I have thought about a "Louis Nix" pick up at no28. It's not going to happen, but I do believe that Nix will be a hell of a player. I would not mind at all to have a Star/Nix duo for years to come even tho KK played well.

A part of me is hoping we draft Easley to replace Dwan. Prior to him getting injured, he was a terror for OLs across the SEC.

 

WalterFootball has Easley going to Carolina in the 3rd round as a DE. I think Easley is more of a 43 DE than DT. He's coming off an ACL so he could possibly fall that far. Tho, seen mocks where he's gone higher. Dwan could potentially be a cap casualty this offseason.

I never thought about Easley being a DE that would be a nice addition for sure

 

Well, he's a bit of a tweener at 6'2 and 285lbs. Easley looks and is built a lot like a DE imo. Very similar to a Lamarr Houston type of body.

 

A lot of mocks that I've seen has him mocked to SF which make sense that he'd play DE in that 34 D. But, I believe that he'll have the ability to move all around the place in this 43 D; inside/outside.

I don't see why he couldn't play at around 275 or less and be a little more explosive if he's going to play DE.

Easley was probably the best DL besides Clowney that i seen this past season. has a lot of versatility because like some one has said, he is able to play many positions in many different fronts. BPA could very well be him,if he is in the 3rd, and i wouldnt be upset with the pick. he can stay at 285 and play DE in a 4-3. because he did have the quickness,1st step, and athletic ability to bend and play. would kick in to DT in passing situations.

I disagree with picking him up in 3rd round, due to depth in the draft we should be able to pick up a Starter on the Offensive side with that pick. We are pretty much stacked at the DL and his snaps and impact would be far less than a draft pick on the Offensive side. If we are going to beat Seattle or 49rs we have to beat their DEFENSE and that starts with improvement on the Offensive side of the ball. 

 

OL, TE, WR & CB should be the top priority especially in the 1-4 rounds.

Then that goes ago against your philosophy of drafting bpa if he is graded out much higher than a need position.plus you want to keep your strength strong. Bringing him in also allows a Dwon Edwards becomes expendable. He also keeps the dl rotation really strong

    • 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
