I know this is only one site, but interesting I thought...  So far it looks like we killed it according to them, it will be interesting to see what grades SI gives us.

WR/TE, Michigan
Funchess can threaten a defense from the slot to the flex to the seam, but he'll have to play to his size before he can take over the NFL.

LB, Washington
Thompson is one of the draft's most versatile athletes, so much so that he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox back in 2012.

Here is a link to the full article, Funchess is ahead of alot of the WR's that went ahead of him..

Funchess is an athlete and moves well like I've said before.

When watching cut ups Jaelen Strong looked stiff and very choppy, took false steps as well. Funchess is fluid and smooth, runs a nice double move. If Funchess starts to constantly use his body and size then look out!

Once I saw the trade up, I was hoping for either Funchess or Fisher

People hating on Funchess kill me. Its like the 16 year old girl who gets the new car she wanted for her birthday, but then bursts into tears when its not the color they asked for.

I'm not hating on Funchess. The day before the draft I actually thought about us drafting him and what our offense would look like with all of those big receivers. I just don't know if I like the trade that we did to get Funchess. I won't say it was a horrible decision untill we find out what kind of player Funchess is but I feel we may of gave up too much and how do we know if he would have been drafted before our second round pick?

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Well, everyone is a critic.  not much meat on the bone here in analysis but if the team needs motivation … lol   I have also heard a lot of talking head or two say that ‘Young is not in the same class as most of these teams and that in 12 of the 17 games he is the lesser QB   BR write up below  2025 record: 8-9 Last season, the Carolina Panthers made the playoffs for the first time since 2017. They won the division. Bryce Young made strides, throwing for 3,011 yards, 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions with a 63.6 percent completion rate. Wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan won the 2025 Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In free agency, the Panthers signed edge-rusher Jaelan Phillips and linebacker Devin Lloyd to bolster their middling defense. Carolina can win with complementary football if the offense continues to trend in the right direction. In 2026, Carolina will play the AFC North and NFC North on a first-place schedule, which includes matchups against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, and the Seattle Seahawks. The club will have a much tougher 17-game slate than it had last year, which may lead to regression. The Panthers aren't on the same level as the league's top teams. We'll see the gap between them and division-winning clubs from the previous season. 2026 projection: 6-11

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By strato · Posted

      If someone key is hurt and your bye week helps you by not forcing you to play without them, it is at a good time.  No way to know about that ahead of time.   I would concede that with 17 games and let’s say you are playoff bound, you would love to have it late

      Turk Wharton Neck Surgery

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Hate it for him personally and hope he recovers well. But honestly, reaching an injury settlement and moving on would probably be a best case scenario for the Panthers. This signing always felt like a desperate knee-jerk reaction to losing out on Milton Williams. Williams was a logical scheme fit while Wharton just wasn't. He's best used as a rotational interior pass rushing specialist in an even front. He's way too small to play the nose in a 3-4 and he lacks the length and juice to play the end. Healthy he's a nice roster piece in the right scheme at the right price but we overpaid him to play him in the wrong scheme. The signing just never made any sense to me and I said so at the time.
