Locked On Panthers

The Carolina Panthers made a bold decision last offseason when they chose to part ways with emerging edge rusher Brian Burns rather than offer him a lucrative $30 million per year contract. This choice created a significant void at the edge rusher position, which the Panthers struggled to fill during the 2024 season. Now, with the draft approaching and a strong class of edge rushers available, the Panthers find themselves in a position to select one with the eighth overall pick. The question remains: Is that the best choice for Carolina, especially after investing considerable resources into their defense this offseason, including at the edge rusher position? Julian Council examines the pros and cons of the Panthers selecting an edge rusher at the eighth pick. Two potential candidates for Carolina are standout players from Georgia: Jalon Walker and Mykell Williams. Julian is joined by Clint Shamblin, the host of Locked on Bulldogs, to discuss what Walker and Williams could bring to the Panthers if chosen. Sup
