I'm sorry Star Wars fans, but if this doesn't prove that the draft should have happened the week before last, I don't know what does.  Plus, it's not really that entertaining (IMO).  LOL.  Not only were some of that characters a reach, but the whole Star Wars Mock Draft is a reach. Biggs Darklighter? Meh.

I really don't get it. People keep bitching about the draft being pushed back but I really don't see a big difference.

 

You're either waiting now or after the draft anyway.

Personally I don't care either way. But, I'm not moving across the country, starting a new job, and looking for a place to live. And just like riverboat said, they lost about a week with the players.

If the draft was where it was before, we'd be talking about the prospects and opinions on the draft classes. Now we're talking about a Star Wars mock draft. That's the ifference.

I'd rather be discussing our draft, our draftees, and their impact upon the team (as well as all the repercussions of the draft in general) than two more needless weeks of speculation and rehashing the same old arguments for the 20th time.

 

I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

 

If something ain't broke, don't fix it.  Goodell has gotten too cute, trying to create more money-grabs, at the expense of all of us excited and eager little NFL fans.

Not really a huge deal imo. I guess if you want to talk about football literally all year it's a bigger issue, but there's plenty of non football sports going on right now. NBA/Hockey playoffs, MLB, etc.

 

Honestly, two weeks seems like a miniscule amount of time to wait compared to the offseason as a whole.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
