I hope Thompson proves me wrong because he is a Panther now. However, it's disconcerting even if it is one practice without pads.

Maybe I'm just used to getting production right away from first round picks:

Benjamin

Lotulelei

Kuechly

Newton

Reacting. I wouldn't go so far as to say Shaq struggled, but Mayo definitely looked more comfortable, which is understandable as that is his full time position. 

 

 

I really like this Mayo kid. He may take Klein's spot on the roster. 

 

klein tradable?

Has it already been decided shaq will be staying opposite of TD day 1? If so (assuming that's the plan), does it worry anybody that he is now hurt and will miss all of OTAs? It seems like a lot for a kid to expect him to be ready without any real action until training camp?

 

He was going to miss OTAs anyway because of his university being on the quarters system instead of semesters. Every rookie from Washington, Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA, Stanford, Ohio State, and Northwestern are in the same boat. Can't attend OTAs until finals are over and the graduating class commences. For most that's June 12th or 13th. It's a rule between the NCAA and the NFL.

 

Step away from the ledge.

Shaq has been playing WLB for three years. Not sure what the big adjustment he needs to make is on the field. Our defense is pretty vanilla too. Just requires great execution. I'm thinking nerves had a role. He doesn't come across as supremely confident so it may take a little bit for him to be comfortable. Of course him not being around for all of OTAs doesn't help that.

Glad to hear Funchess looked great. He was the pick I liked the least but I'll happily be proved wrong.

Easy on expectations after reading this folks. A LONG way from first week of the NFL. Shaq has plenty of time to get better and Mayo will learn fro one of the best.

 

Don't go easy on getting excited though, we got pigskins being tossed around.

Just saw an alert on my phone from CBS that said Shaq and Funchess struggled today.

 

This may have been asnwered already but they sturggled with conditioning. Shag had a tweaked hammy and Funchess was cramping because of the southern weather.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
