I asked AI to forego reading mock drafts and analyze other available data to make a sophisticated projection of who the Panthers will take at 19. after making a comprehensive and rather intelligent overview of Dan Morgan’s tendencies, Dave Canales’ scheme fit, and overall roster needs-it finally spit out a name after much calculation. with the 19th overall pick in the NFL draft, the Carolina Panthers select: Princely Umanmielen, DE, Carolina Panthers after being told that there was an small issue with this possibility, it updated and spit out a secondary name: Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama once again I pointed out this is unlikely, and explained why, so it ran the data again and came up with: Benjamin Morrison, Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally, I gave it permission to incorporate mock drafts into it’s formula and it told me Kenyon Sadiq because those mock drafts said so. It did say to keep an eye on Jermod McCoy though because of the team’s emphasis on positional value early. You can see the emphasis on CB for this reason.

I don’t understand why. 4-2 Canes win.

Right but when that position is the talent rich position group available for you to draft, it escalates in priority. maybe they ultimately love Peter Woods or something but the thought process behind another WR is logical and a good move.

Seems the national media is all saying canes lose.

Good enough doesnt only apply to one position group.

The WR debate is pretty similar to the WR debate from last offseason, and it paid off not resting on our laurels. i think Jalen Coker is much better (prior to catching the ball anyways, he can be dumb with the ball in his hands) than the Solid Number 3 a lot of media types have labeled him as. but all it’s going to take is Concepcion housing one 1 time to see what the room has been missing if “good enough” seems good enough to you, then remember that the Rams have Nacua and Adams and were still trying to trade for AJ Brown. You build your team to win your division first and the conference after that.

Coker can't stay healthy. We unfortunately don't have reason to believe he can be available for 17 games

Fantasy football

949 yds is a strong #2 yards production and identical to Rams #2 Adams. Not sure what your criticism is here

I mean they are meeting with guys at his position group. It would be highly unlikely that they are not considering the top ranked player at his position. He was reportedly a joy to talk to interviews. i think I’m leaning towards him not being who they pick, but they are absolutely considering him.

Blah blah blah. You don't stop building your team because the QB hasn't shown you the consistency that you want. Anything other than keeping pressing on is managerial incompetence. One monkey doesn't stop the show; you ultimately replace the damned monkey. Coker hasn't shown any consistency to be a WR2, much less anything more. At this point we can't even rely on him to stay on the field. He's a solid receiver, but doesn't provide the speed or dynamicism that will open up the offense; That's the real elephant in the room. We're going to draft a receiver on day one or two; I'd bet on it. Maybe not a lot of WR1 upside, but some quality upside is definitely there in this draft.

Teams value size more than fans do. I loved Jake Fisher coming out. Had such great feet, elite kick step, great counter pickup. Went in the 2nd and was being tried at TE a few seasons later. i still think Lomu goes first though.

I will prob go today. Tmrw will be too busy to go to that area twice. ESP with the flea market.

We know

I don't disagree.

I go as well, but skipping this year with the game time Saturday. If I was going to the game, I'd spend the day over there before the game. Always looking for a deal, but last year there wasn't much of anything for sale.

Yeah, this is why I'm not stressing about positions. In the first, I *want* a S or OT. In the second I want one of the LBs. But even though I think this team finally is starting to stack some talent...we're still one bad year from being in the shitter again with a lot of money tied up into injury prone guys. BPA drafting is partially a myth IMO, but truly draft for BPA as much as possible. Keep building the team, and then let's see where we go with QB in 2027.

That’s what I’m starting to dream up.

I go to that big car show every year!

Coker is quite obviously better than his stats show. All it takes is watching the games. Im not saying hes great yet. Just better than his stats. Most everybody sees it.

The Griot's Garage & Good Guys Car Show is on the fairgrounds Friday & Saturday. A lot of nice cars, a lot of 60s and early 70s muscle. I usually go, but the traffic and parking is going to be a nightmare with a hockey game going on.

Matthew Stafford led the league in passing with 4700 yards. That is 1.56x Bryce Young’s 3011. Coker averaged 35.8 yds/game. Multiplied by 1.56 that is 55.8. If he played all 17 games with Matthew Stafford that is 949 yds. Right now he’s either a really good 3rd option or a pretty good second option. On the Rams, even his adjusted ypg puts him as the third option, which would lower his ypg. Unfortunately, he’s only playing 11 games a season so far as well. Hopefully he bucks that trend. Point is, it’s not really disrespectful at this point to look at our WR room and say it could use a #2. I like Coker and hope he continues to develop and plays a full season and stabilizes our #2 receiver spot for years to come, but he gets very overhyped on this board sometimes.

Magic are the least scary playoff team in NBA history. Easy dub

Can't throw the ball to himself.
