I don’t think Canales and Morgan are as sold as they.need to say they are
bryce has to improve massively this year
if he doesn’t, they will find another solution in 2027
the stats on QBs of his stature over time aren’t great…we shall see

Number 9 Carolina Panthers
Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.

Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.
Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.
Week 1 starter: Bryce Young

A lot can happen personnel wise between now and opening day
if there is a linebacker available at a reasonable price who fits Evero’s scheme and is better than Wallace , Dan will upgrade

Canales seems different this year in the press conferences and interviews
I can’t quite put my finger on it
he doesn’t seem so ‘Sammy sunshine’ as he has in the past ..almost a tad detached
maybe he was just deferring to Dan as the draft is Dan’s show

What I loved and sorta felt sorry for at the same time were the players going to either the Jets or Browns
lol
you could,see and hear their disappointment
-
I believe they are happy with the TE room
cant fix everything in the draft or in one draft and the panthers have had little talent since 2016
they simply stuck to the best premier positions of need to what was available to them
In the world of draft position, cap and contract management, dealing with aging and/or injured players, whose true status we do not know, they filled gaps and looked ahead to what that means for the money to pay a qb.
after qb, the next premier position is OT and they have a lot of questions there that they hopefully now have a mitigation plan to handle..with o true depth behind either, they did what they had to do. Had Freeling not been there, different pick.
they filled the void of DT with the departure of Robinson
they got a speed guy who hopefully ,can take the top off a d/or play slot a lot better than.XL…and also fills a void if they can’t pay Coker next year
will it wall workout, who knows but they had a plan and pivoted
I know some of it is disappointing but football is built by the lines and that is what the best teams do

McCoys knee must really be shot
They said his tape from 2 years ago was beyond elite and yet no team has taken a flyer on him.
As far as today goes getting Dukes Parker in the 4rth would be an absolute steal at this point
I read on Thursday that he may need another surgery ..I forget the site it was on

Freeling from the Beast
A young, ascending prospect with real work to do, but the future looks bright.
Strengths
- Broad build, with long arms and developed bulk
- Pushed himself to fill out his frame, adding 75 pounds over the past five years
- Outstanding quickness and body control out of his stance to mirror up the arc
- Smoothly redirects and doesn’t get crossed up vs. counters
- Uses both of his big, strong hands to thud and control pass rushers
- Power rushers can dent the pocket but gradually sinks and catches his balance to grind down bull rushers
- Stays alert to stunts; has grown to become a willing helper, if uncovered
- Generates drive power in run game to displace defenders
- Efficient timing and contact balance on combos/climbs
Weaknesses
- Upright in pass sets and through engagement
- Rushers will out-leverage him when they reach his chest
- Can be beaten by late movement once he settles his feet
- Guilty of overextending himself in run game, zapping his balance transfer
- Inconsistent out in space adjusting to movement
- Missed most of Kentucky game (Oct. 2025) after his left ankle got rolled up on and didn’t start following week; played through shoulder injury late in 2024 season (gave up three sacks against Notre Dame) and underwent offseason shoulder surgery (Jan. 2025), which limited him for 2025 spring practices
- Only one full season as a starter
Overview
- Hometown: Charleston, SC
- Birthday: July 25, 2004
- Age: 21.7
- Jersey: No. 57
- High School: Oceanside
- Year: Third-year junior
A starter for one-and-a-half years at Georgia, Freeling settled in at left tackle in offensive coordinator Mike Bobo’s balanced gap/zone scheme. After coming off the bench at both left and right tackle, he became a starter over the second half of the 2024 season and showed gradual improvements each game in 2025. He earned All-SEC honors as a junior, allowing just nine pressures; he committed only one holding penalty in 18 career starts.
An ascending prospect, Freeling passes the eye test with his frame, length and movements off the ball. He is quick out of his stance, regardless of what the action requires, and uses his hands to latch and control defenders. Mixing up his pass sets, redirecting vs. skilled counters and using improved leverage in the run game will be the next steps in becoming a more complete player.
Dane’s takeaway
Freeling is still very young in several areas, but the future looks bright — his athletic toolbox and technical confidence continue to develop with each rep (he’s similar in ways to Kolton Miller as a prospect). Although bumps in the road should be expected, Freeling can secure a starting job as an NFL rookie.

Why has Freeling fell this far?
I think he hasn’t played that many games at the position
as opposed to the guy from Clemson, with 54

I want to enjoy the night
…and hope they pick someone who makes them better, has no injury issues, no history with courts and bad behavior
if it is first rd play maker, offense or defense, i want a 3 down player, not a gadget
it is christmas in April. I dont want this main pick in rd 1 to be socks and underwear …plenty of time for utilitarian

Hard to tell the impact on the Giants Bengals trade
panthers have no true receiving threat over the middLe…they need to get one…one that doesn’t have an injury history, drop history, has body control, can block and must have speed
that combination doesn't grow on trees or found round 2 forward
the offense as a whole lacks speed, whether that is talent, play calling, young’s vision…who knows
to fix that to me that is Cooper or Sadiq With the recent trade, not sure if they will be there
if not, they will probably go best defensive player on their border
I believe wr/te first Safety in second if Halsey is there Lb in 3rd the rest oline and cline
Anything else they will get in August after cuts
anyway, the draft is ‘nfl Christmas in April’. Let’s enjoy the packages and hope it isn’t all socks and underwear…or coal

Seems a tad pessimistic….all be it, the schedule is supposedly harder

What is the old saying , keep life simple, live up to your obligations
people do what they do in any case
and some love the drama..until…
-
We may or may not like the draft as Tillis is thinking more about 2027 and 2028 forward
that brings into view contract life, age of signed players, potentially paying a QB
it also means CB may be in play; ie. Moving Jackson or even Horn…not out of the question and that kinda explains the latest CB visit (also coming off injury)
Same goes for oline …etc
i just want no injured players. Injuries come frequently enough in the NFL. Don’t need rehab projects to start careers

Its about 2 weeks away, me thinks you will start hearing from all the "experts" " Teams really like proctor more than the mockers, watch him for a top 10 pick blah blah blah".
