WR or Defense? Who Should the Panthers Draft at #8

[@begasuwp]

I want a wr bad but our defense was trash. Let's see who we get in fa

[@dizzylizardproductions]

We need a very strong defensive draft. They all need to stick and several need to play right away

[@paulmancini-sb9qn]

Defense, Defense,Defense in this Draft which is not a very good or deep one but its best Position Group is the DL (Edge/DT)

[@reverendsaul]

I would put Jalon Walker above the two Edge guys you mentioned. They have him listed at LB, but he will likely be Edge in the league, or OLB/Edge mix. If Carter is gone, and we want Edge, that would be my pick.

[@daltonburbage6522]

I would pick James Pearce jr instead

[@dannytreyjhoo4620]

Jalon Walker is from Salisbury, NC too. Local kid

[@DaveyBroughton]

I like walker as a solid lb to build a truly functional 3-4 and we need a true nose too

[@PinkPanther-2124]

James Pearce Jr. from Charlotte🔥🔥🔥

[@ShAdOwPuNk1995]

I also love Jalon Walker! He could rotate from ILB to OLB as needed. He’s also quicker than Mykel Williams and we need a big LB with speed!

[@PinkPanther-2124]

Hell on Mykel Williams. I want us to stay away injury prone players. Injury prone in college you’re most likely going to be injury prone in the NFL. Pearce Jr. or Scourton or trade back and pick up more picks and draft someone like Jack Sawyer, Landon Jackson, or Mike Green.

[@MMAMike22]

1-Carter 2-Graham 3-Trade back if both gone

[@jamieharris2853]

I would also think about Tyler Warren from Penn State if we trade down. He is a weapon in the middle of the field that plays like Kittle to me. Just a thought

[@sethmcconnell7066]

good thought but we would have to address multiple defensive needs in free agency for me to be totally comfortable taking an offensive guy at #8

[@jimmyrusso6350]

We need CB/ Nickel/ safety

[@gold5221]

Defence

[@anthonysmith9277]

Defense win championships

[@paulmancini-sb9qn]

3 of their Top 4 Selections will be on Defense - Edge,DT, Safety are musts with adding to the LB/CB

[@paulmancini-sb9qn]

Panthers should look into signing soon to be released DT Javon Hargrove who was hurt this year and played College at SC State and would be a nice fit with DB, A Robinson

[@brandonsoesbe1489]

Well, I don't think he's gonna fall that far, but we should pick Mason Graham before we do any outside linebacker. If you cant stop the runn in the n, f, l, you cant stop anything.

[@stephenbailey9969]

So many needs. Best player available. If it happens to be a WR or O lineman, then build the defense with veteran free agents. First round pick is most important. Longer contract at cheap price. Allows money to be used at other positions.

[@locdog5227]

I agree best available, just not if its an olinemen, we already got our line locked up for a good bit other that moton who we whould resign, also imo the oline at the top arent that spectacular

[@stephenbailey9969]

@@locdog5227 A number of our O lineman are free agents this year. We need to keep an eye on depth.

[@joshuabittikofer5441]

Defense is more important than offense in the draft least first few two rounds

[@zartanbtw2407]

We should draft d and If we can’t secure and good wr in free agency look into trading for someone like Myers from LV or another player like that who’s in a bad situation and can’t show there full talent so we won’t have to give up much capital for them

[@jimmcewen9351]

If Graham & Carter are off board, Morgan isn’t taking a mid to late 1st edge at #8, he may move up or back but he won’t reach at 8

[@homiegotbeats8630]

Tet McMillan and it's not close for me

[@PickettLife-m7d]

If he’s gone take Carter but if Carter is gone definitely take McMillan

[@DayneDomain]

I think Graham is more likely to be off the board at 8 than Carter. He's been at the top of the board longer and there's more teams ahead with DT needs than Edge.

[@christhomas5316]

🤔It doesn’t matter because I’ll take either one of them (Graham or Carter )which ever one is there ‼️💯💯

[@jerrickcole5704]

Cam Skattebo is the biggest version of CMC. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@jamieharris2853]

I like Kyle Kennard from South Carolina later in the 1st if we trade back with a team to get more draft capital. He is a menace against the run and off the edge sacking the quarterback

[@ShAdOwPuNk1995]

We trade back to like pick 12-17, pick up an extra 2nd this year or 1st next year and we get Jalon Walker is my prediction if Carter and Graham are taken. I love the potential of Jalon Walker and he’s a 3-4 scheme fit!

[@paulmancini-sb9qn]

I like DE Nick Scourton of Texas A&M at #8 Edge Carter will be Gone, DT M Graham of Michigan will be gone too.. Scourton goes about 6’-6” 265lbs ..

[@BinnieB81]

Here’s my draft for us. # 8 Abdul Carter -edge # 54 - Trey Amos - cb # 74 - T.J. Sanders - dl # 110 - Tez Johnson - wr # 113 - Gunnar Helm - te # 139 - Rod Moore - s # 145 - Jared Wilson - iol # 162 - Jack Nelson - ot # 227 - Kaytron Allen - rb

[@Julio_Jones]

I would double dip and draft two edge rushers in the first two rounds depending on who’s there. The Panthers also might lose Two of their starting safeties so i think they should draft Xavier Watts over Trey Amos

[@paulmancini-sb9qn]

Free Agent WR’s will will be out there as cap space casualties - C Kirk from Jaguars, T Lockett from Seattle, K Allen of the Bears, S Diggs of Texans, B Cooks of Cowboys, C Godwin of Dolphins, T Patrick of the Lions, M Williams of Steelers & many many others

[@raymondsanders1143]

I would love for the Panthers to draft a number one receiver but the defense needs a lot of work. Draft a defensive player and try to get T. Higgins or G. Wilson in the offseason.

[@rodneyboyd9596]

Ion want g .Wilson, he ain't did nothing to me

[@ericheinke2865]

Possibly trade back on the 8th pick. We need Defense, 2nd or 3rd we could draft a WR.

[@BigManBalling]

We need a EDGE RUSHER

[@DJOL-]

TRAVIS HUNTER WLD BE THE PERFECT PICK! PROLLY NEED TO MOVE UP THO...TOP NEEDS ARE OLINE RB CB AND WR THEN PRETTY MUCH ANY AND EVERY POS ON DEF TOO TEPPER REALLY JUST TORCHED MY PANTHERS PRETTY MUCH SINCE TAKING OVER!!!

[@joshuabittikofer5441]

Think we might try to get Josh sweat in free agency.

[@sethmcconnell7066]

Write it down, Jalon Walker out of Georgia will be the Carolina Panthers pick at #8

[@jacobhancock-hernandez4962]

If McMillan is there I say take him but otherwise focus on the defense and see if you can land someone in free agency. Would love to see them throw the bag at Tee Higgins.

[@lisalewis5996]

OLBb Abdul Carter, De from Penn Stat! The WRs will be fine. I think as well as Jalen Coker can catch, he gong to be much better next season.They even have TEs that can catch. DRAFT the defense FIRST! Then possibly draft receivers. Just find a way to KEEP Sam Franklin!!

[@user-ki3dj9pu9y]

Easy. BPA, we got needs at every position

[@maximusnextinline4513]

They need to trade up for Travis Hunter or Mason

[@elijahbrooks6599]

I like this take but I disagree wit u about Carter going before hunter. Not happening hunter is generational talent and could possibly even go 1 ward shedur and hunter prob going top 3 hunter most definitely is and one of those qbs will for sure be top 3 as well

[@jimmyrusso6350]

We will probably will trade back then move back up in the 4-5th round maybe into the 3rd

[@ParkerKenney17]

No brainer. Graham if he’s there. Otherwise trade back. We don’t need a converted LB 240lb edge. We had the worst run defense in the league. Take a look at the playoff teams, they all stop the run. We need BEEF, Not flashy edges who are slightly undersized.

[@Julio_Jones]

With DB being back next year i wouldn’t worry about the run ngl

[@DJOL-]

JUST NO CB PLEASEEE THERES TONS OF CORNERS OUT THERE, I WLD LOVE IT IF TRAVIS HUNTER FELL TO #8 BUT NOT COUNTING ON IT! WLD LOVE JEANTRY OR A WR! I WLD USE THE 2ND AND 3RD RD PICKS ON DEF AT CB DE OR REALLY JUST BEST DEF PLAYER THERE! ALSO WLDNT MIND PICKING OLINE AT #8 AND EVEN THO IT WLDNT BE REAL EXCITING THIS IS THE #1 SPOT OF NEED IMO! THERES A CHANCE TRAVIS CLD FALL BUT SINCE HE GOT THAT HEISMAN ITS A LOW CHANCE!!!
