BTW that list is terrible. Osi, Winston, Austin and Welker are all fuging done. They're only big names because of what they did years and years ago. Look at what they can actually do now and they fuging suck. And yeah Demaryius Thomas' contract is going to give him a billion dollars, the ownership of Alaska and the team owners first born son, so we're probably not going that route. Also, how in the hell is DHB above Royal.

Actually I meant Denarius Moore and not Demarius Thomas, no way in hell we could afford Thomas, long night, screwed up the names.

You can edit it.

Yes it is a long night. I am at work uncharacteristically, but 4 hours & 42 minutes to go.

How is it that Jeremy Maclin is not on the list but D Thomas is?

This would be my pick even above Cobb.

Given want the draft is offering, this current FA is meh. I mean the top guys are going to get overpaid, havnt others learned that? Each year the mid-top tier get overpaid, so being a realist its a mood point.

BUT, there's a few cuts that have my attention. Mainly in the OT, WR, OT CB groups......... but draft, to me seems is a better bet than the current FA pool.

      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.

      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.
