Tmac should be starting this yr. That's one... *Next year either Nic or Prince should be starting.. Thats two. I mean with the clowny trade/cut talks heating up, it could be right now... I hope Clowny stays and both rookies season-up some. Now I feel even with Icage saying Ransom is the backup to Morn, he can start this season. He's got what starting safety have and played in heavy pressure in front of 100,000 fans. He's mentally ready if need this year. I honestly hope they put him out and see if its possible. Now NT Cam and TE Mitchell, I give both a 20% chance to start 2026. Not to......well yes, the TE group is among the weakest, Mitchell just needs to be better than Tremble and Sanders= 20%. Going far out on the "Panthers could have 3 starters" limb, if slot is considered a starter, in the next few years Horn *could be a starting slot. If slot qualifies, I gave horn 2% chance to take over that role. Etienne I feel has the longest shot at filling the starter role, even less than Horn....which horn could win the starting PK or KR job...but Im not going to count that in my "3 starter" statement. .01% chance I mean, Im huffing the new draft hope sent and all. I think when we revisit this after two full off seasons, 3 starters could happen. That would make it a A+ and have early "best" draft talks... Bump this and let some mod lock it after Im right.....

right this off-season time, Id rather have DJ Moore over BY. Plus I know that trade was nearly all on tepper on his QB pursuit, dam shame the hole that put the team in.

Ive heard if not for the browns jags trade, the jags were going to draft Tmac.

Gimme that bears haul 10 out of 10 in a nano second

You guys can pull the crazy take on my statements. Ill try to word it better, but Im the worst at that.. Remember waaaay back to a fresh trying to prove himself steve smith was drafted. I swear the body type and movement, I see young steve "trying to get on the field" smith. Not saying he will be a HOFer, just he reminds me of green smith. fire away..

They are treating him like all NFL teams treat their QBs.

Agents or player hate to admit its for a "try-out", sounds much better to say you signed on the roster... You just signed a injury wavier...... The truth will show soon enough, watch on the official panther website about what's real.

I'd agree with that. I like this new aggressive UDFA model. It had a great start last year.

Yea, too many, but some maybe try-out guys. I always thought its better to leave 1-2 spots open on the 90, for claims or try-out stud sign room. I hate this part of the NFL meat grinder, players that recently got signed are going to get cut for this growing UDFA pool.

I have a tougher scale than others and gave it a nights sleep. I feel its a solid "B". They knew Tmac in the 1st, would have no WR equal in the 2nd/57. Nic was rated in the 20s on many boards, Im sure on NFL ones too. It was the smart move to draft that way, plus since they seem............ committed to BY and he was throwing with Tmac(bonding). BY told the whole staff to draft him. They changed gears lots, but didn't pay future picks. They were not going to fill all the needs, just how bad it is. But I feel the DL has enough talent and depth now. They will be cutting players that other teams will want. They attacked the UDFA at DBs, maybe one of two stick. I feel it was a smart outcome and half of players dropped below their true value while in the range of the Panthers pick. Part of it was due to 3-4 vs 4-3, but I thought overall they played a great "draft" game. I think its higher than normal odds that 3(maybe more) starters will come out of this draft too. That alone would make it "A+", but that's after two full years before it plays out, until then solid "B".

Ugh Im not the one that should do this. Here is the deal- Top 51 counts before the season starts. Soon after the final cut and teams get ready for week one- All 16 players on PS, all players on IR, and the 53 count against the cap. Unless the rule changed.. Panthers gave Jacolby George 215,000 guaranteed. The salary for PS during the year is same number. So Panthers guaranteed him a spot on the PS for the year. *If he gets cut and claimed/signed on another, that 215,000 would be dead cap. It's sorta of loop hole, provided he remains on team. I believe the PS guarantee limit is 365,000(??) to prevent teams from signing 16 to full deals.

bro you read it wrong or something. scourton is 29 swinson is 47 princely is 50 basically same edge. Ill give you eitenne wasn't highly rated, but his trait was by PFF- Trevor Etienne's 10-yard split at the NFL Combine was 1.51 seconds. This time ranked second-best among running backs at the combine, tied with another player. Looking for PFF traits, they also said he was a perfect zone system fit, the Panthers run zone base. PFF only gave 3 A+ grades, Panthers were one of them. 100% played a role, one of new hires started PFF and they were using his new/old models. Dave talked about getting updates on player runs, there was a RB one right at eitenne.

Add in bills and saints and couple from pats.....ruined the Panthers draft hopes. Still nearly every player Panthers draft was list rounds early on many "experts" ranks. They did great

foot in 2022 acl in 2023 I still love the pick, its the classic upside late TE pick. ND knows how to make NFL ready TEs. He can block which has become rare for college TEs.

82. Damien Martinez, RB, Miami (Fla.) 102. Jared Ivey, DE, Mississippi 111. Quinn Ewers, QB, Texas 112. Logan Brown, OT, Kansas 126. Tez Johnson, WR, Oregon 139. Seth McLaughlin, C, Ohio State 143. Cobee Bryant, CB, Kansas 151. Brashard Smith, RB, SMU 152. LeQuint Allen, RB, Syracuse 154. Isaiah Bond, WR, Texas 169. Zy Alexander, CB, LSU 171. Thomas Fidone II, TE, Nebraska 173.

Jack Nelson, OT, Wisconsin 200. Hunter Wohler, S, Wisconsin

No at this moment. Dan could trade a future pick, which would be ultra dumb given Ive been looking over the pool. It's empty.

they going to sign half the cocks roster for the UDFA haul

Good luck Brandt/Dan, I think this UDFA pool is weak.

Thanks again Icge! I like pictures.......

With the 4th round Trevor Etienne and now Jimmy horn Jr. blackshear, I hope you are renting cause you had some young hungry players coming for your job.

Ill all for upside in the late round, I've seen fearless being used on him.
