Impulsive owner? Wheb he didn't have football men he could rely on. Yes. Can't say he has been impulsive since Dave. Just an observation.

I think we bring in vets at WR and Edge, re-sign Rozeboom & Mays (and/or Corbett) for depth, and draft OT, ILB, and C in the first 3 rounds (as long as there's someone available who isn't too much of a reach) .

If you are joking ha ha, if serious I certainly didn’t mean to confuse you. Almost every single OL spot could be open in the next two seasons. C, both Ts and Hunt’s spot at 20 mil per season. All could turn over. We need bodies. Plenty of examples of tackles moving to guard in the NFL out of college. T drafted to be guards or failing at T in the NFL and being moved there. Andrew Whitworth played G multiple seasons before permanently switching to T.

It WAS OT. For some reason I couldn't paste it, but Juan posted the link to the full article.

I've given up on taking a Edge high this draft, if at all. We have two young guys we need to develop and adding yet another greenhorn that's not a shoo-in day 1 starter is making less sense. Edge needs to addressed in FA. With Ickey going down, LT is an immediate issue. Lomu is climbing BBs already. It wouldn't shock me at all if he overtakes Proctor for OT3 especially after the combine where I think Proctor will get exposed some.

Yeah, I think getting ousted from the Panthers reignited that blood and guts fire in Smitty. He was done here. Those two alphas just couldn't coexist at that stage in their careers with Smitty knowing he was barely hanging on as a star and Cam knowing he was just emerging. Those energies just weren't compatible.

In theory when I say trade back its get a first for next year and another 2nd for this year. Not likely but I would keep my options open. I dont think the talent level is any different at 19 as it would be in the middle of the 2nd. I think another first for 27 would have us sitting pretty on many levels, damn look at the rams in this draft they are loaded

I agree but trading back kinda sucks as well because the last 3 years we have been trying to accumulate core players. We kinda have that core built. Now we just need playmakers, guys who can impact games. We don’t have that. Maybe Dan goes after that in Free Agency and more depth in the draft.

My guess is there are 1-2 players Dan will have flagged and if they aren’t there he trades back. Its hard to frame the draft until FA is over.

Yeah it depends what the offseason looks like. Does the defense get another step better and/or does Bryce get another step better.

I would really like them to pick a LT in the first but other than Proctor there isn’t a prospect that fits the LT mold that should be on the board at 19. They’ll have a lot of edge and LB options. I honestly think unless a big time LT falls to them, they should trade back in the first if possible, try to get another second or third round pick, and pick a later round tackle in addition to a LB and edge rusher. The can probably get Anthony Hill Jr late in the early second, he’s gonna be a baller

While I like his arm talent and athleticism, he just missed this year due to surgery and he is in the last year of his deal. It wouldnt make a ton of sense to trade for him

yes but if he has any sense or say in the matter he will tell his agent to try to get him traded to be the 49ers backup

LT has to be the most important pickup this offseason. Without it, we will be looking at Andy Dalton by week 6. We have to protect BY at all cost first and foremost. Ekonwu may not ever come back, and Moton can't hang on but so long. Proctor(should be available) or Lomu(could be available) in the 1st and someone like Zion Young (EDGE) in the 2nd would be a good 1st and 2nd round IMO.

This is the best path forward IMO right now. Try and get a pass rusher with potential in FA, and those guys as the first two picks? Sign me up. We have to get another LT in here in case Icky is done for, for Bryce and/or the next QB. Part of me says screw it, build the defense, get Nijman back for LT, and if Bryce can't make it work, he shows it. But then we're just right back in 2027 probably needing a QB AND a LT. I think LT has to be one of the first 2 picks and we hope he's a good one. Every move right now to me should be about building the team that's ready made for a QB in 2027, whether that's Bryce or another rookie.

Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT. What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS. So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light. He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here. I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad. I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.

Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience. That's bad business.

OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need. I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want. You need that rookie contract right now. Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season. Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season. There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future. Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future. I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside. Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway. If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later. Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price. You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky. I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA. Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage. They could both work in tandem. Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless. Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3. We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.

Would you trade a late pick for Will Levis to be our developmental QB?

If we draft OT in the 1st round with all of the holes we have on defense, that tells me the staff has no faith in Icky or BC ever being quality starters again. Possible with the injuries they suffered, put passing up on an edge or LB with the complete talent deficiency (outside of Scourton) we have at both positions would be worrying - unless there isn't a good choice at 19 for those positions, which could also be possible.

With teams employing nickel defense most of the time it just doesn't seem the ballhawk free safety thing has been much of a thing for a while. I'll take one though but I dont expect it to be a priority attempt
