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 CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
