That's really great to hear and would explain the wonderful construction of the trade itself. We moved back in rounds 3,4,5 and moved up in round 6. Clearly we believed there was depth in talent and going back a few spots would not be a big deal. Not enough is being made about this specific trade. You may see more trades like this one next year.

How interesting, yeah that makes a lot of sense. The Charlotte Observer has lost a lot of talent to other NFL teams throughout the years. From Jourdan Rodrigue, Alaina Getzenberg, Marcel Louis-Jacques

Yeah it was awful those post-draft pressers were practically unwatchable. Agree, Mike Kaye is very good.

This was a fascinating trade. I'd never seen any draft trade quite like it before. Of course non of our "beat reporters" asked Dan about it during his 3! draft day press conferences. I would have asked him who thought up/presented this trade. Was it the Panthers (maybe Eric Eager) or Broncos who thought this up

Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow. The 2019 fifth-rounder spent five seasons with the Raiders before spending last year in semi-retirement. He produced a career-best season in 2021, catching 103-of-124 targets for 1,038 yards and nine touchdowns. Renfrow has 1,881 slot snaps and 709 perimeter snaps to his name, though he curiously performs more efficiently, on a per-route basis, when lined up as a perimeter receiver. If he has anything left in the tank, the 29-year-old Renfrow may be able to compete for the team’s No. 4 wide receiver role. He is unlikely to perform as a reliable flex option, though.

Panthers signed SMU DT Jared Harrison-Hunte A late bloomer who flipped the switch at SMU after a rotational stint at Miami, Harrison-Hunte (6’3/280) exploded onto the scene in 2024. He earned First-Team All-AAC honors with 42 tackles and 6.5 sacks. He saved his best for last, posting six sacks in the final four games, powering SMU’s playoff run. His 9.20 RAS backs up the tape: 4.86 s 40-yard dash with elite 10- and 20-yard splits make him a quick-twitch penetrator with one-gapping explosiveness. His pass-rush arsenal includes a nasty arm-over and solid bend when playing low. While his pad level and run anticipation can waver, he brings heat when turned loose. PFF credited him with 30 pressures, 21 stops, and a strong 82.2 defensive grade in 2024. Scheme-specific? Maybe. But in an attacking front, Harrison-Hunte can thrive as a rotational three tech with developmental upside as a penetrating on passing downs

Good to see the front office continuing to make the roster better and deeper, much deeper painful penetration
