DO NOT USE nfldraftbuzz, 100% circus status and total time waste fantasy.

Jalon Walker will drop a nuke during the process and vault into a top 5 lock.

You wish I was the GM, 100% Id have the team in much better position than the last 6 years. Dave is known for coaching up WRs and QBs, but didn't have a say in BY. Allow the guy and his hand picked staff to try and find a QB, their QB. The cap hit would be around 900,000, bargain compared to the rusty red rifle.

If you could guarantee Walter Nolen is there, I'd 100% support the trade back along with extra picks. Honestly Ive seen lots of players listed at 5-30. Trade back maybe the play, but Id HATE that looong wait and watching names drafted...

I honestly could not take a 3rd herniay trip.

Make him the asst BFF QB coach and pay the 4million to hold BYs hand, theres no cap space there. Panthers have less than 1% chance at playoffs, draft a QB in the mid rounds and use that cash for starters.

It feels like each passing day he is rising up and its to the point where he getting top 5 hype..... that's real! That said it feels like a mason graham has like a 30% chance to reach the Panthers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What I currently know- Carter and Hunter are 100% going before 8. The 2 QBs will 100% be drafted in the top ten, I want to say top 7...but Im not seeing it from all the people who are good at predictions. That's all known currently. Lots of stuff up in the air.

Do you remember the "muh sources" era of NFL reporting. Florio and profootballtalk wore that OUT. This crappy person report feels like a branch off that awful reporting timeline.

I feel close to this as well. That's starter safety moneyz and guess who needs two of them along with 15 other spots.... But this doesn't hurt the high I have after a new strength coach.

That's a good point, give XL more time as well! I think they have around 30 years of WR coach experience(if you combine Moores playing career). That's one big load brother....

Hell I wanted Ladd too. They are just too hard on XL, he had a good year. I still member 98% of rookie WR taking 3 full years to develop during my fantasy years.

ALL of the above(always been RAS nerd), but especially the part about the succubuses... I never learned even after I came up with the brilliant light and water formula.

Lots of my XL beliefs comes from this staff. If there's one position the Carolina Panthers should know the best, its WR. The whole group HC, OC, and HOFer WR coach wanted XL. It's a good sign to be wanted by those who know how to develop&coach a group.

This is a super underrated type of hire that gets overlooked, but with have a profound effect. He's a open minded and cutting edge, that's a great combo in strength training. Like other fields, the strength industry has changed greatly over the last 20 years. Sooo much is now understood and still more to learn. Glad this guy is leading the Panthers. No one spends more time with the players than the strength coach. It's a uber important role for football.

Josh Hingst begins his fourth season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024 as director of player performance, as he embarks on his 16th NFL season. Hingst was a part of the 2022 Vikings team that finished 13-4 and claimed the NFC North title. From 2013-20 Hingst was head strength & conditioning coach with the Philadelphia Eagles, part of a team that won the first Super Bowl title for the franchise, Super Bowl LII over New England, in Minneapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium. Hingst implements a holistic program to address all areas of athletic development, utilizing a variety of strength, speed, and power methods to individualized to each athlete. In 2013, his first year with the Eagles, Hingst played a major role in the implementation of one of the NFL's first data-driven training systems, introducing technologies such as Catapult-GPS Tracking, Omegawave and Eliteform – Velocity Based Training, that culminated in an NFC East Championship that year. Hingst strives to remain at the forefront of progressive and cutting-edge performance training methods, recently utilizing Forcedecks, Nordboard, Blood Biomarker and Microbiome testing and Zebra Tracking Systems. This was the guy chip Kelly picked, Im in love now!! holistic?!?!?

I feel personally attacked by this..

You could also say he was forced to play early with the dionte Johnson issue. Then there's mingo with the same issue. Coker was great, Im not going to knock XL cause he played great. I swear what did people expect from him?? I feel its faaar too weighted, he played like a rookie drafted at 32nd overall.

That's petty bad.

FINALLY!!! I've been asking for years, I believe this is the last Rhule stink removed?? This is the coach the players spend the most time with.

I don't have that stat available - https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-rookie-receiving-yards-leaders-2024 The number was discussed here and it was normal among *all WR. It just felt more cause a couple of those drops were back breakers. I know one drop he caught 95% of the ball, I think it was the eagles drop. I think you always look at the whole side, he had a good rookie yardage and TD year with some poorly timed drops. He can improve and he can can slump. Sure he could have played better, same time he could have played much worse too. He was the 32nd player drafted, not some top 5-10 savior. I thought he had good rookie year with ups and downs. Knowing he did so with lack of reps due to injuries and he kept playing with questionable QB play, that looks to me like he can improve his level of play. Not on the stats either, he looked good blocking too, many big gains he was helping with down field blocks.

I think he had 500 yards and 4 TDs, both were good for 8th among rookies. That was with BY finding his mojo in week 9. He had a good rookie year, fans need to realize this. Sure there were a couple awful drops at important moments and body catching as the season wore on. Those are correctable and if he's fully healthy, I believe he will improve on those numbers.

I agree about hating the draft, the only pick I liked was sanders as well. It's rare for ones book to be fully written within the same draft year....does look that way and I hated that brooks pick. They did cut troy hill to give the NB to Chau Smith-Wade, but injuries got him. If Crumedy can be a backup, that's a win cause most DL backups get around 20 snaps per. I got no read or idea on Wallace. Brooks is a longshot. XL played hurt for the entire year, lets see how he's looking during OTA, TC, etc. If If if you have a healthy focused XL starting, Wallace *wins the MLB job, sanders is either #1-#2 TE, CSW wins the starting NB, and crumbs is a top backup. That draft will be a super success and its very possible given the lack of cap space. You can view it from the positive side too, given we still don't know...(poor brooks tho.) We will know 3x more once the full off-season is compete.

Maybe in this era. A few played until low 40s. The hardest part becomes running down the field. I know JJJ took his body shape more serious that year Rhule drafted his replacement. He's carried that new body since. I remember Tim Wakefield pitching until 43, he was a knuckleballer and his MPH didn't matter. He still could pitch and get outs, the one thing at did him in was fielding his spot. Once teams knew, you bunt and get a free base due to the pitcher being unable to get the ball in a timely matter. JJJ can play until he is viewed as a weakness or liability. There's all sort of petides, roids, stem cells, and other meds that are reversing aging too. It's possible, very very low odds tho.

Theres was an Instagram pic with him on one of those scooters that evaluates the foot/ankle. Couple weeks ago at some fast food place if I remember right. He played hurt for the whole season and lost some confidence too. Did everyone forget him missing most of OTAs and rookie camp due to hamstring/injuries. He stayed off IR and kept playing with all sorts of hand, wrist, leg, ankle, hammy, injuries.... Didnt stop fans from jumping on him in his rookie year......
