Hearing rumblings of the Texans looking to trade up & a target who comes to mind is Keldrick Faulk. Ryans was in SF when Buckner and Armstead were there and made a point of targeting Denico Autry as a free agent. Faulk is long and still growing into his frame.

Asked several NFL scouts to predict which off-ball linebacker goes second at the position this week, after Sonny Styles. The consensus was Texas Tech’s Jacob Rodriguez. Carolina and Buffalo are among teams that did extensive homework on Rodriguez. https://x.com/jfowlerespn/status/2047120772519358694?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

I hate it

Carolina Panthers Miller's pick prediction: Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon Tight end and safety were the two positions that came up most when polling league sources about the Panthers. This spot is seen as Thieneman's potential floor but also serves as a popular landing spot for the speedy Sadiq. Though Carolina keeps its workouts quiet, especially when it comes to Round 1 targets, Sadiq fits what it lacks at tight end. One source within the organization wouldn't rule out wide receiver but noted that the Panthers probably wouldn't reach for Denzel Boston (Washington) or KC Concepcion (Texas A&M). https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2026/story/_/id/48542761/2026-nfl-mock-draft-miller-fowler-first-round-32-picks-final-predictions-buzz-intel

Dillon Thieneman won't be an option for us as Dallas will take him @12

@PanthersInsider on IG has predicted KC Concepcion to become a Panther. They predicted McMillan in 2025, and Legette in 2024. https://x.com/bthatespanthers/status/2047015735092740344?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Stupid lol

Well worth checking out. JJ and Luke (unlike our beat reporters) ask Dan excellent questions. - The team has probably done close to a million mock drafts - Mocks are very accurate this week

Plus, Luke's weekend in Canton, J.J.'s nachos, and a special birthday surprise for our soon-to-be Hall of Fame Co-host!

James Franco's career had gone to hell after all those sexual perversion allegations

unfortunately I do not but you're right, that thing is a beauty

Brendan Donahue, the #2 most accurate mock drafter over the past five NFL seasonsaccording to The Huddle Report, gives you his 2026 NFL Mock Draft https://www.sharpfootballanalysis.com/analysis/2026-nfl-mock-draft-first-round-all-32-teams-brendan-donahue/

Checking in on Jacob Rodriguez’ following list.. what do we notice? https://x.com/bthatespanthers/status/2046663230819356980?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

I love this for him

Good o'l Huddle never disappoints

One thing is for certain, Rodriguez is going in the 1st round

This would be ideal but you just never know on draft night if you can find a trade partner

It’s definitely a bit of a crapshoot, but Joe covers the team for a living—there’s a baseline expectation that he should have a deep, working knowledge of the roster, positional groups, and overall team needs. That kind of familiarity should come through in the analysis. At times, though, it feels more like he approaches covering the Panthers as an assignment rather than something he’s genuinely invested in. When you read some of the other beat writers at The Athletic, the contrast stands out. There’s a noticeable difference in how deeply they dive into roster construction, scheme fits, player development, and front office philosophy. Their work often feels more detailed, more nuanced, and more connected to the day-to-day reality of the team. That’s not to say Joe doesn’t provide value, but compared to some of his peers, the level of insight and depth just doesn’t always feel as sharp or as thorough as it could be
