Who I've become sold on that don't seem like 1-yr wonders

I wanted to be patient with a few guys that were either seemingly random pickups or a late draftee, but now after a month+ of solid play, I'm sold on them in their current or increased roles for next season:

 

Bene Benwikere

What more can be said of his play?  Just wow.  He's a vet in a rookie body and it makes sense why we traded up for him.  

 

Fozzy Whittaker

I've really liked this kid and not just for the name.  Consistent + solid in college and he's made the most out of limited touches.  3 TDs this season off of like 40 touches.  Has great burst and elusiveness.  Whether he's in a RB3 or RB2 role, he's a good added element to both our screen and run game.  

 

Mike Remmers

From the looks of it, this guy has bonded very fast not just with the rest of the revamped OL but the whole offense.  It took the staff a way too long Chandler experiment ending to bring him in, but when they finally needed a new RT, DG found one and this guy looks to be the part of an NFL RT.  I don't know long term, but I'm comfortable with him to start next season.   

 

Tre Boston

I see the other thread about him but want to give him another quick shout out.  The way he stuffed that run plus his defensive positioning and awareness looks great.  I imagine he could go through some growing pains next year but I'm optimistic so far.  I don't think he'll need to be a full time starter quite yet but he could move into that role by mid/late next season.  

 

Andrew Norwell

Yes.  

 

Honorable mentions: Colin Jones, Philly Brown, Adarius Glanton

 

We've got a young hungry group.

But they have not been for more than a year so how can you already declare them NOT-1yr wonders? I will wait until next year before crowning them but no doubt they are playing well this year.

 

 

You've got to be cautiously optimistic with guys but if they really show a certain level of play, then I think they become obvious fits.  You've got guys that showed something early on but then proceeded to become worse...and worse like Colbert, Godfrey, McCree, there have been plenty, but these guys look the part to me.  Sure it's early to proclaim this but the level of their play since coming in has been enough for me.

Bersin has made some key first down catches for us this year and has been pretty sure handed. I can't see throwing him under the bus for one screw up.  Yea we definitely need a new kick/punt returner but he has done decent as a receiver in his limited touches.

      Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.

      By Basbear · Posted

      It puts more pressure on being right, I always feel trading back is the move 97/100 times. There are times where you fall in love and if that guy is only 7 spots away and the cost is only a 6th or pick swap......why not?? so long the cost is low, Im more willing to do so.  Still one of the best teams at trading back and they torn apart the Panthers on those trades; Pats. You still have to pick the players, that's what happens. In theory you should also add picks, but it does get to point of eight 3rd rounders or two late 1st and a 2nd?? I mean every draft is different, so the talent maybe not fall off a cliff after pick 50. Case by case deal, but vastly I prefer to trade back.....another curve if you trade back and the scouts/coaches have not planned for it. You have to be ready and know the spot you are trading too (everyone). Just like trading out of 1st round two weeks before the draft, that hurts your team as they have been focused on pick 10 and now its wait until pick 42....

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      IDK, just I know these mock drafts are time "wasters" and even more before FA cause that does change a huge portion of the needs. I think Panthers are in on Lloyd, but just like Milton Williams if the numbers get too high they will change course and still sign one of the lesser ILB. I've also seen reports Panthers want boom back as well, but as STer/backup.   Personally Ive put Wallance in the Ickey, Brooks zone....... Acting like he's not on the team and if he shows out during OTAs, mini, and TC GREEEAT!!! I feel Panthers need to sign at least one and draft 1-2....hell even add another Bam-like UDFA in the UD pool too. Trade is on the table, there have been many trades than past years......   Given the team history, the LB corp is saddest ever. Still the league isnt paying ILB and Panthers finally got with that trend. I do feel Evero wants a IBL that can blitz and everyone wants one able to pass cover.  I feel no matter what, Panthers will draft one in the mid rounds and add a couple in the UDFA class.
