Monroe Freeling was drafted in round 1 with pick 19 in the 2026 draft class. He scored a 9.99 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 2 out of 1645 OT from 1987 to 2026.

@ChrisTrapasso @BuffRumblings @SBNation Let's gooo

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

He is my one and only mock. I more or less took the year off from covering the draft so I am excited to be just a spectator for the first time in five years.

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

@almiightyPush Concepcion or trade down probably

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

If any of
-Makai Lemon
-Carnell Tate
-Jordan Tyson

Are available at 19, expect them to be a Panther. If not? Dillon Thieneman seems like a safe bet. #Panthers

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

Uhh yeah I'd go for that

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

I know he is getting roasted for this but I don't think it's THAT big of a difference. Ty Simpson is a very good player.

[Get Up @GetUpESPN]

“I think Ty Simpson is the best quarterback in this class.”

—@danorlovsky7 makes a strong claim ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft ⬇️

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

Mock 1.0. Tyson too good to not take at 19 should it fall this way.

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

@TheSportzNutt I think he's a first round pick all day personally

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

I would be doing backflips all weekend if this happened

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

Holy cow Dan Morgan is cooking

[PFF @PFF]

The Panthers are signing OT Rasheed Walker to a 1-year deal, per @RapSheet

OT1 on PFF’s Free Agent Rankings 💪

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

@Christo20259392 Fano is the BPA in this instance

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

Players I'm higher on than the national media:
Monroe Freeling (12)
Ty Simpson (14)
Zion Young (19)
Zachariah Branch (20)

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

NFC South champs.

[Joe Person @josephperson]

Panthers have reached an agreement with free agent LB Devin Lloyd, per league source. First reported by @AdamSchefter.
What a day for Dan Morgan, bookended by two of the top three free agents at any position.

[John Ellis @1PantherPlace]

Quick cut up of high IQ/max effort reps from Jaelan Phillips.

Special stuff.

[Doug Farrar ✍ @NFL_DougFarrar]

Miami's EDGEs were both absolute assassins last season. Got myself in a rabbit hole watching Akheem Mesidor play the run. Whoosh.

[The 33rd Team @The33rdTeamFB]

Jaelan Phillips generated pressure on 18.8% of his pass rush snaps in 2025

That was the 4th-highest rate among players with 250+ pass rush reps, behind only Will Anderson Jr., Nik Bonitto, and Micah Parsons 💪

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

You don't buy prime steaks with a bare cupboard

[Panthers On Tap @PanthersOnTap]

$30 million a year for Phillips. Something the Panthers weren't willing to give Brian Burns.

[Natalie Miller 🏈 @Nat_NFLDraft]

HOLY SPLASH. What a signing. Time do sign a LB and draft a tackle.
