One guy that no one is talking about is Lamarcus Joyner. I honestly believe that this guy is a real possibility for the Panthers in Round 1 or 2. He would start at FS from day one, while also possessing the ability to play the slot and return kicks. He is similar to Tyrann Matheiu and Kenny Vaccaro in this way. The difference is that Lamarcus Joyner is the prime example of a team player and role model on the field. He plays with intensity but isn't a RAH RAH guy. I think he would thrive in our defense.

I think FS is being highly overlooked right now.  All indications show Godfrey is either cut or is a flex CB/S and Harper+Lester are at SS.  

 

We basically have Colin Jones.  

 

Joyner could be solid.  I really like Dion Bailey and Kenny Ladler though.  There could be some diamonds in this FS class that seems less than spectacular to most.

I've brought up his name on here a couple times already. Joyner is one of my favorite player in this draft. I would not mind him at 28 at all, but would love him in the 2nd. The kid is tough as nail! He's only 5'8 but has a nasty vertical leap that helps him cover taller/bigger receivers. Also a deadly returner.

Joyner would make a nasty FS.

Totally agree with this and think it is valid.  Once Godfrey is deemed healthy he could very well be cut or restructured.  I do think that there are adequate replacements in the late rounds to fill the void but as OP said you get a player that makes immediate impact.  I am sure that it will definitely stress the servers on the Huddle but not sure if it is such a bad selection.

Joyner is solid and I'm also a big fan of Bailey. Watched some draft breakdown of a couple of WRs and he jumped out at me often. Would love to scoop Bailey up at S.

 

I can totally see Bailey in a Rivera defense. I've seen a few sites comparing him to Weddle as well (which is a lofty comparison to say the least) but just think the dude is a baller.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
