I don’t mind missing Edge on rd1 since this draft is pretty deep.

Mr. T Seriously, I did not realize there was a window open and I had teed it.

Money and payback

I am curious if we will meet with Sadiq at the Oregon Pro Day.

I like it that we're not hearing anything from XL this off season. He needs to take advice from Cam and focus on his craft and stop posting work out videos on youtube or tik tok. I really hope he is working with Chad Ochocinco. This training camp will be really important for XL.

Who's t?

Yes that is a bit odd but they must have a lot of interest in him.

I think three or four of these names were considered first-rounders this year.

Yeah but burning a top 30 visit is kindof wild for a rb all things considered

I thought this headline meant we were signing him. Might still be be better than XL

I doubt it. They are treating him the same way they are treating Ickey. If he comes back to form then great, if not then they have options.

Tj who's yo momma. Championship!

T.J Houshmandzadeh said he hit the gym at the combine and saw eight #Panthers employees working out Dan Morgan said: this is just what we do https://x.com/threesandtds24/status/2034630319744352457?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Are they trying to tell us something about brooks?

Good mention here of Ed Reed. He's the prototype and there's never been another one that was really up to his level. Just like, on a more local note, Luke was that guy for MLB. Chasing the position, hoping for that kind of player can be troublesome. It's why those guys have gold jackets and the thousands upon thousands of other good to really good players don't. Your first round pick HAS to be either a game breaker like one of those guys, guaranteed, or needs to be a solid, multi-year starter in a position of need AND, as the OP stated, a cost savings overall. And the OP made a heck of a good case for OT and DT being right in line for us. Still... can you catch a falling star? A lot of teams break their future trying to reach for one.

I love Darrell Jackson Jr sleeper because he played on a bad fsu team(I am a fsu fan) but he is a freak

Fun game to watch but wow we have a serious goalie problem, with the D being inconsistence neither one can be counted on to bail them out, one of these two better get their game together or it's a quick exit from the playoffs.

Re: the safety talk - There's a range of roles they fall into. And depending where on the spectrum, the value can absolutely align R1, but its rare. If you identify one that can play 80% snaps off the bat and has the skillset for robber and slot roles, then it aligns. The best slot a lot of the time (Hamilton, Branch, Emman, Pitre) It can be tantalizing but many of the time, those defenses were in a good spot already (BAL, SEA, HOU for example) And for a Fangio-esque defense running two-high-shell, heavy zone w/simulated pressures, and primarily 5 and 6 DB packages, having a guy that can adapt on a package-to-package basis is huge. If you find a guy that can play back, play robber, and play as a slot-defender all in one is one of the most valuable types in the NFL. Inversely, if you don't play that way, a FS has very minimal value. Overall, I would say there is still more inherent value in a 3 down DL or edge rusher. The nice thing about landing one is we have Ransom to pull back deep when they're in the slot. There's a few in R2 that could be interesting in this respect.

Reader would be solid but Evero definitely has his preferences. His types on the DL (all spots) are a bit different than the other Fangio disciples. Even for 0/1, it seems likes the more athletic/fluid types over the power/clogs. And he doesn't mind using undersized guy like Turk opposite DB. I was really interested in Harmon & Tyleik Williams last year. Unfortunately they went way higher than expected so fell between our 1-2 picks. Unsure how this team thought of them. Would be nice to get someone a bit more fierce and a pocket-collapser alongside Brown. 2 of the 3 should have that ability to disrupt on any given play. Of the 1st Rd DLs, I definitely like McDonald but am a bit iffy on Woods & Banks. The two DL after Round 1 that I think could be real finds are Kaleb Proctor & Darrell Jackson Jr.

Okay I hear Ed Oliver and Aaron Donald. Is that realistic? I been sleeping on this guy.

That's a fair take... Maybe I am a bit higher on Bryce than the huddle. I think he's average. Not what we hoped for the number 1 pick but he's good enough you can win with him. I think help him as much as possible. Make his life easier, need people to win their matchups make his throws easier. The defense can hold teams to 21-28 the real challenge is us scoring 21-28

I think some people see the marginal benefits of improving the defense being higher than improving the offense because the offense is limited by Bryce Young.

To me it seems he runs a little upright. His highlights are blocked well, and he is very north south getting upfield which that is a good thing. This is the norm of average but capable type of running back. You get what you can block, he doesn’t dance he heads upfield.

It amazes me how many people look at the panthers roster and they no the offense is better than the defense and is in better shape than the defense lol. If the defense lined up vs the offense right now the defense would be sinking its teeth into this offense. Wow the defense doesn't need but a few patches here and there but I would be fine with lining them up as is. The offense is much less proven and is relying on unknowns at tackle center no sure fire number 2 no sure fire tight end, and no sure fire at running back. It's clear which side is in worse condition and yet.. we need a DT or a corner or a safety, yeah all that would be nice but if you are guaranteed a home run at any position which position would you put it at to make this team better today(outside QB and edge because Phillips is suppose to be that pick)
