I bumped the old thread previously, some of our resident negative nancies were saying that trade would amount to nothing

I’d love to get Klubnik

I see some college Jerry Juedy in the way he moves

I think it was Chris Simms that called this right after the firing. Same scenario as when Tampa fired… I forget, to hire Dirk Kottier who was OC. Because they were afraid they were going to lose Brady to another team hiring him for HC. Then it is, well if we had to choose, we would choose Brady.

Wasn’t Bryce involved in getting Canales?

Carolina spent draft picks on Shrine Bowl alums, tight end Mitchell Evans and Jimmy Horn Jr., last year. The Panthers have also had success in recent years with finding undrafted talent (Jalen Coker, Bam Martin-Scott and Jared Harrison-Hunte) at the annual all-star game. 1. Jaden Dugger, ILB, Louisiana (East) The 6-foot-4, 240-pound linebacker made the play of the day on Saturday with a pick in 11-on-11 drills. He also had an interception in 11-on-11 work on Sunday as well. He has long arms and a nastiness to him. While he stands out as a big, tall player at his position, his instincts and lateral quickness in practice were just as impressive as his size. His nearly 35-inch arms also help him clear out traffic in the box and make up space in coverage. Dugger had seven sacks in two years at Louisiana. 2. Jalen Huskey, DB, Maryland (West) The 6-foot-1, 199-pound safety had a strong Saturday workout. He broke up a pass in 7-on-7 coverage drills early in the practice. Later, he made a diving pass breakup in the end zone during 11-on-11 red zone drills. Huskey has some grittiness to his game, but his coverage was his strength in Frisco. Huskey had 11 interceptions during his college career, which began at Bowling Green. 3. Mason Reiger, OLB/DE, Wisconsin (East) At 6-foot-5 and 245 pounds, Reiger’s “get off” as an edge rusher is lightning quick. He was able to get the better of Penn State offensive tackle Nolan Rucci on a couple of occasions in team drills on Sunday. When Reiger can win with speed, it allows him to set up other rushing approaches throughout a matchup. During one rep, he blazed off the line before hitting a spin move mid-rush, which led to immediate pressure on the opposing QB in 11-on-11 drills. Reiger spent his first four years at Louisville before transferring to Wisconsin this past season. He had 13 career sacks in four seasons on defense. 4. Eric Rivers, WR, Georgia Tech (West) Rivers was a big play machine during the first three days of workouts. And when he wasn’t catching passes, he was drawing penalties on defenders. While he stands a hair under 5-foot-10 and weighs 179 pounds, Rivers plays like a much bigger receiver. He has excellent body control and leaping ability, and he uses his compact frame well to ward off defenders with the ball in the air. He won on several different routes, and he has quality burst off the line. Rivers reminds this beat writer of Brandin Cooks a lot. Rivers spent two years at Florida International before transferring to Georgia Tech this past season. He had 2,173 yards and 16 touchdowns during his three years of college ball. 5. Chip Trayanum, RB, Toledo (East) It’s one thing to see impressive natural speed with a running back. It’s another to watch a ball-carrier glide as a runner. Trayanum has a glide to his game. He did a nice job catching the ball during team drills. He also made some impressive cuts out of the backfield. Trayanum appears to be a guy that’s capable of playing all three downs. Trayanum played six college seasons with four different programs, but he produced 1,015 rushing yards during his one year at Toledo. 6. Riley Mahlman, OT, Wisconsin (West) The 6-foot-8, 304-pound lineman looks the part. He has very good balance as a pass blocker. During 1-on-1 drills this past weekend, he did a nice job of clearing opposing defenders out of harm’s way. He also had some really nice run reps during individual drills. Mahlman was probably the most impressive blocker of the tackles in Frisco this past weekend. 7. Honorable mentioned: Syracuse P Jack Stonehouse (East), Texas A&M DT Albert Regis (West), North Carolina CB Marcus Allen (East), LSU TE Bauer Sharp (West), South Carolina OLB Bryan Thomas Jr. (East), Duke OLB Wesley Williams (East), Navy RB/WR Eli Heidenreich (East), Florida State DL Darrell Jackson Jr. (East), Clemson QB Cade Klubnik (East)

Jets might hire Reich, he hasn’t had a good offense in years.

Great to know, I don't follow college football at all but anything close to JSN would be awesome. Thanks for giving me some players to check out

Even his most ardent supporters on here said that they’d take him if he was willing to stay as a backup or possibly in a bridge role. Most of the banter around this board was about how dumb Fitterer/Rhule were for giving up multiple picks for him and then giving him a 5th year option without even seeing him play a down for us.

Oh, carry on

Aaron Donald's brother. He's a QB.

To be fair, Tyson is a well-rounded route runner, has good speed and great separation. I think of him as a taller JSN with the same wiggles and ability to play outside or in the slot. He would be a great cherry on top to our young WR corps between TMac and Coker. He might not be a burner, but his short area quicks and ability to turn DBs around with ease is appealing. Personally, I think it's a luxury pick and hope we go elsewhere. I think Dan and Dave do as well. I also think DJ is one of the most respected draft analysts in the league. He has his fingers on the pulse, especially front office whispers, in addition to the draft prospects themselves. He's always been very fair to the Panthers, and IMO, covers them better than the Shultzes and Kipers of the football world. He also went to App St. Depending on how the board falls, Tyson could technically be seen as BPA at 19. Dude was and still is a top-10 selection despite a rough 2025 season at ASU. Our WR unit is not a complete room yet, so it's not that outragious if we truly are looking BPA. Me personally, I want OT, LB, DT or FS at 19. In DJ's scenario, I'd take any of Faulk, Woods, Lomu or Allen. I personally like the Texas LB more than Allen, and think he's a better compliment to Wallace, but Allen does give me Jon Beason vibes, so wouldn't be mad there either.

I could see this

Can't go wrong strengthening the DL. DB would benefit from another wrecking ball that offenses would have to account for...

Who's Sam Donald?

I would take Lee Hunter over a wr.

Uh, guys with McDermotts record dont go back down a step. He'll have his pick of jobs. Josh Allen or not.

Meh.

He actually had plenty of good flashes with us but he was absolutely thrown to the wolves. I said at the time that we had our guy but he need some talent around him. That ended up being exactly the case.

I mean in his defense there was a good team in his way a lot of those years. Sucks but you can’t control a top 5 all time qb being in his prime against you. Same way the early 90s chiefs couldn’t get past the bills.

Glaring needs all over the place. WR is not on the list.

Steve Wilks would have lasted about as long as Frank Reich did. He's had two DC jobs since leaving here and was fired from both; let's not pretend he's the second coming of Vince Lombardi. Would he have been better than Frank Reich? Of course, but that's not saying much. Darnold was a free agent after 2022 and was highly unlikely to choose to re-sign here under Wilks or anyone else. And even if he had, he would never have developed into what he is now. The difference for Sam Darnold was the year he spent as a backup on San Francisco under Kyle Shanahan and then going to Minnesota under another offensive guru in Kevin O'Connell. Had he re-signed here instead he would be a backup QB on some random team right now instead of preparing for the Super Bowl. Do you think it's a coincidence that we had both Darnold and Baker Mayfield and neither produced here, but both became franchise type QBs after leaving for better situations elsewhere?

It just dawned upon me that with Leonard Williams playing in the Super Bowl, there's a good chance that Derrick Brown could be his replacement. Here's to hoping that he will be named soon.

That was a good one, I just rewatched it after Snoop's netflix halftime show.

Horn is made to be a press man CB no doubt. He claimed we don't have the personnel (talent) to play straight up man.
