Draft Build Up

So I told myself i was gonna get some things done today.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah...That's probably not happening.

 

I doubt I'm alone when I say that I'm so hyped up to see the NFL Draft tonight that I could probably chew through barbed wire right now.  The delay in timing has certainly allowed for more buildup than usual.  You can argue whether it was intentional or happenstance, but what's not so debatable is that the resultant fan frenzy of anticipation is likely putting a huge smile on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's face.

 

Reports make it sound like this draft is gonna be a pretty wild one to watch.  Along the way to the Panthers pick, I'm sure we'll all groan when we hear one of our favorites has gone elsewhere.  We'll either laugh or cry when we see the picks our rivals make.  We'll likely get a laugh from some stupid move some team makes along the way.  And there's a pretty good chance something nobody saw coming will shock us out of our shoes.

 

Regardless, by the time the Panthers pick rolls around tonight, most of us will probably be tearing our hair out. 

 

And once it's announced, some of us will probably be celebrating while others are screaming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Eight hours till liftoff...

Have a flight I got to catch tomorrow morning at 4. The draft's really going to make for a long day tomorrow. But it's easily one of my fav events of the year.

Anything other than a WR and ill be billing the Panthers for a new remote and TV. I'm not a huge fan of any of the LT's that will most likely be available at 28.

anyway I can get text alerts if something happens to the Panthers before their original pick at #28?

 

I think there are text alerts you can get from the team.  I'd check the site.

 

The NFL probably has something like that too.

I remember sitting there last draft sweating bullets hoping that Star would drop to us and he did. I was so happy that night.

 

I was just sitting there like

I just couldn't believe he was actually dropping like that.  I just knew he was going to end up going a pick or two before we were on the clock.  I was actually more excited when the Jets picked Richardson than I was when we picked Star.  I just knew we were picking Star.  If we hadn't picked him, then I would've been the above picture all over again.  LOL

Imagine if we trade out of the first and have to wait ANOTHER day until we pick! I will have a conniption fit, even if it turns out to be a good move.

 

 

I think the board's servers will explode in flames if that happens :lol:

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
