Joe Person of The Athletic sat down with head coach Dave Canales at the NFL Annual League Meeting from Phoenix, Ariz. on Monday. Their one-on-one chat ventured into the outlook for Young, who Canales said the following of: We're changing things in our offense to fit Bryce, and we're trying to bring players that will complement what Bryce does. It was something that Dan and I had talked about throughout really the last two years - Bryce's ability to perform in critical situations and in high-stakes situations. And feeling our responsibility to build a team that puts itself in those high-stakes moments where he can perform and come through. And he's shown that, whether it's my ability to be aggressive, going for it on fourth down because of him or having different moments come alive late in games for him to be able to take us down on drives, find wins, whatever that looked like. There's not a question of if, but how - how are we gonna build this forward knowing that Bryce is our quarterback?

I'm less than impressed

Damn, this is absolutely terrific. thanks for posting

I love 'em

19. Carolina Panthers Olaivavega Ioane, G, Penn State The Panthers have two highly paid guards in Damien Lewis and Robert Hunt, but they will be entering their age-29 and age-30 seasons, respectively. So there's a future need there, plus an immediate need at center. Ioane played left guard, center and right guard in college and has the power to be an effective run blocker at any position. Ioane sought to play with better movement and conditioning in 2025, and his stock soared because of it. The Panthers could rebuild their offensive line around him and left tackle Ikem Ekwonu. 51. Carolina Panthers D'Angelo Ponds, CB, Indiana If you want to see the pound-for-pound toughest player in this draft class, turn on Ponds' tape. A slot cornerback with elite ability to blitz off the edge or lock up slot receivers, Ponds is a playmaker who routinely shows up in the biggest moments. 83. Carolina Panthers Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn State Tre'von Moehrig is Carolina's enforcer in the box, but there's a need for a back-end safety. Wheatley's range at 6-foot-3 and 202 pounds gives him the versatility that would fit in the Panthers' defense. 119. Carolina Panthers: Le'Veon Moss, RB, Texas A&M 158. Carolina Panthers (from MIN): Domani Jackson, CB, Alabama 159. Carolina Panthers: George Gumbs Jr., Edge, Florida 200. Carolina Panthers: Dillon Bell, WR, Georgia

Some good stuff here, well worth your time. - Joe says interest in Kenyon Sadiq is real - if he’s still available @19, there’s a good chance he’s the pick - CB in the 1st is also a strong possibility - Chau Smith-Wade would then move to SF - Julian Council reveals he’s gay - lots more!

always enjoy your in-depth analysis

Spot-on. D-line and FS are much bigger immediate needs than OT or WR. Look at the current roster and the fact that they have not brought in any new players at those positions.

Good for him great for us

Interesting that Colston Loveland (grade 6.70) and Tyler Warren (grade 6.77) were superior prospects last year.

This is the first time in a decade where our roster is in such a healthy state that we can go into the first round of the draft and truly take the very best player on the board.

Interesting note from @TonyPauline on the #Panthers 1st round pick, @oregonfootball TE Kenyon Sadiq has to be a consideration if he’s available and Carolina could target a top CB at 19. #KeepPounding @TonyPauline wrote: “Heading towards the draft, the Panthers now have the luxury of looking at other positions. If tight end Kenyon Sadiq happens to fall to the 19 selection of the first round, he has to be a consideration, and they could also target a top cornerback.” Link below for full article https://x.com/panthersbreakd/status/2035828567682982314?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
