I've seen a lot of people mocking him to the lions at 17, so we may need to leapfrog them unless he slips a little.

Nice to see the Panthers at #5. 3 NFC South teams in the top 6, with Saints actually at #1 and Falcons #6. Bucs were 16th. 5. Carolina Panthers The Panthers were the only team other than the Saints to have five rookies with 10 or more total points. But there was one real star: wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, the favorite to win Offensive Rookie of the Year. He finished the season with 70 catches for 1,104 yards and seven touchdowns. The Panthers used their second- and third-round picks on edge rushers, Nic Scourton and Princely Umanmielen. Scourton finished the season with 5.0 sacks, and Umanmielen had 1.5 sacks. Fourth-round safety Lathan Ransom was also an important part of the Carolina defense, starting six games with 51 combined tackles, plus an interception, a sack and a forced fumble. Other top rookies on offense included fifth-round tight end Mitchell Evans, fourth-round running back Trevor Etienne and sixth-round wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. Undrafted kicker Ryan Fitzgerald finished 24-of-29 on field goals and ranked third in my gross kickoff values.

If Tepp did not like and still believe in BY, BY would be gone… AND/OR it was a Tepper pick the entire time and he does not want to look like the neophyte he is. Tepper has shown 0 reservations on canning people he doesn’t believe in, but yet BY still remains? There was no way any legitimate QB competition would be televised for Panthers Nation to see. Imagine the optics: Bryce comes out the first series or 2, throws his usual ducks against the first string D. Next QB comes in and doesn’t necessarily look great, but he connects on a few 30 yard lasers. The team knew that Dalton would pose no threat so he was allowed to stay. Tepp can close training camp to the public, he can control the propaganda machine and ‘media’ coverage, but he can’t control the televised games where the 2nd and 3rd string QBs play almost the entire time.

Styles would be fantastic but he is a pretty decent candidate to go ahead of us. I think there is ample talent around 19 and I would be VERY against trading down. That is not something I trust this FO to be able to do successfully. BPA and move on.

I don’t know how much I’d count on skattaboo playing again. Like yeah it’s just a broken bone but his feet were pointing at 12 and 6, respectably.

I don't think he probably has any desire to go to another losing team. I know he does have roots in this area but he has also spent most of the last 15 years in California. Also, how would he be drastically different than Coker?

After so many years of being utter garbage I'm concerned that the organization is going to get distracted by the relative W-L success this year compared to recent years and overlook all the circumstances that led to that record. We very easily could've been a 5-12/6-11 type team. I don't want to be too doom and gloom on that. I mean, Bryce was improved. Was he good? No. He's still a lower level NFL starting QB and he had some games where he looked absolutely abysmal. I still don't think he's our long-term answer and I hope to see signs this off-season that the Panthers realize that. Was the defense improved? Yeah. I mean, they were historically bad last year and improved to lower middle of the pack this year. That's a significant improvement. But we can't ignore that Evero loses his balls in critical situations and goes absolutely Charmin soft. That's why we're bad on 3rd and long. That's why we're bad in key late game situations.

I mean, honestly, I would just rather have a good NFL owner. She still has to make big decisions on who those football people are. If you fug that up right out of the gate, it's all lost.

At this stage, I would bring in Mr. First down, Keenan Allen. He has a market value of 6 Million which is dirt cheap and would be a great veteran presence for the young receivers.

I am still sticking with Styles at 19 or trade the pick. I personally dont see a ton first round talent in this draft

Well, you can also punt and see what he looks like as a true starter heading into next offseason because he is an ERFA. Then you can make the decision whether that longer term, higher end deal is warranted. Consider the fact that if he becomes a starter next season and then starts dramatically outperforming his 4 year, $20-24 mil deal, he is likely going to be disgruntled and you will have to renegotiate anyway. I don't think the risk is super high having him come in for 2026 at the league minimum. Supposedly he is a high caliber locker room guy and he does get more hate than is warranted. I am fine keeping him but I think the issue is moreso that we aren't attempting to UPGRADE that position. Draft/sign a better option and bring him back as a valuable reserve. As maligned as a ton of the players on this roster are, I think a chunk of them are just miscast. Rozebum and Wallace would be fine as reserve LB's and special teams guys. Same with Scott, same with Nijman, same with Mays, etc, etc, etc. If we attempt to improve a lot of these positions, we can bump these lower quality starters down where they belong, as reserves.

The hope is that she'd hire football people and just smile and wave to the crowd.

I like him but like others have said, he likely stays.

Can we find a guy to return that doesn't let the ball smack him in the face. I miss Mark Hampton (iirc) Dude just caught the ball and got 10 damn near every time.

IDK, I see a lot of early mocks predicting him higher. I am 100% in on a new LT/RT option. It really alleviates a lot of potential panic movement if either Ekwonu or Moton are gone in the 2027 offseason. I think it is criminal to not prepare as if you have two new OT's in 2027. Just be prepared now.

Do we have to keep Evero and this bum?

We will see. The details on her are as scarce as they come. I am not convinced she is a true football/sports fan. She seems more like a stereotypical rich wife type that seems to be more socially active than actually truly interested in the team. I am not personally getting an Irsay daughters vibe. That is a third generation of NFL ownership, so it's literally in their bloodline to an extent. That's not my personal read on Nicole.

Yep, we’ve got a least 30 more years of Nicole.

Will be long gone by pick 19 lol Fano will likely be gone, but this guy may still be around, because he mainly plays RT. But I think he can make the switch, plus we're looking for a long term replacement for Moton, Also, he's huge and a SAMOAN (always draft a Samoan if possible).

I don't think the "good teams don't go for it on 4th down" is ALWAYS accurate. Some of this is newer football philosophical changes. Look at the Lions, for instance. They are always in the top 10 for most 4th down attempts under Dan Campbell. I will say that it does say a lot that the Panthers have been inside the top 10 in 4th down attempts every year except 2018 and 2021 since Tepper has been the owner. All losing seasons......

No thank you. Blue line is mess as is. Need actual defense. Not more offensive Dman.

Dart and Skattabo together will be both of their downfalls. They're just going to feed off each other's stupidity and immaturity until they're head butting more CTE into each other in their assisted living facilities.

Plus he's OOU. (That's his girlfriend not his mom lol)

Yea I scrolled the entire front page of the threads and there was nothing about it before this one. Idk why it needs a whole thread when there’s already one having to do with the dc

Ah yes then the real golden age can begin.
