I'm almost willing to guarantee Harlan Miller will be a Panther

This guy has Panthers CB written all over him.  We love our mid-round small school CBs with ideal height/length and great instincts, but pedestrian athleticism measurables.  Harlan Miller is that guy in this draft.  Norman and Benwikire were both 5th rounders.  Miller in the 5th?

Hes a hot name currently. If the panthers want him, they will have to use their 3rd, maybe 2nd..... I got him as a early 3rd, All teams need CBs and come draft time they always go early than predicted.

 

Norman was a hot name too who was supposed to be long gone before the 5th.  A lot of teams get really leery when a CB runs 4.6+.

Artie Burns. Not guaranteeing anything but if he's a Panther a week from today, we're going to have no issues at corner.

 

Not sure we are going to sign any FA until after the 12th. We are ahead in the comp race. If we sign a FA we could lose out on the comp for Josh.

Pedestrian is a huge compliment to his athletic ability lol

It does seem like there is a pretty good chance we draft him but I hope he's a film nut with great instincts. He's gonna need it at the next level. I've heard his tape is really, really good(haven't watched it personally) but it may be that he's able to get by with his athletic limitations against FCS players and that won't cut it against NFL athletes.

He's a corner out of Miami, not a free agent.

I believe burns will go 1st, nearly 98% chance. Some of tape shows he is #2 overall CB in this draft. I

His measurables stack up almost identical to Norman's.  It's why Norman was available in the 5th and why Miller probably will be too.

 

His performance at the Senior Bowl with other top college prospects was raved about.

Wat.

 

If you don't lose more FAs than you sign, you don't get any comp picks. So far we have lost 3, and signed 2. So we are eligible for a comp pick for Josh. Probably a high 3rd. And the cut off for this is May 12th. At least I think it is May 12th.

I knew that. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I don't remember the buzz around Norman. This was before the current rage of long armed CBs, plus Norman was oldddd compared to others. We'll see.

I'd take him in the 1st. He's the best DB in the draft outside of Ramsey, in my eyes. I don't anticipate him going in the 1st though. Most have him ranked as a 2-3rd rounder. I would bet on early-mid 2nd. If he fell to us at 62 I'd be ecstatic.

RIght, but it is a little more complex than just that.

 

My 'Wat' was on the notion that Artie Burns was a free agent that we could potentially sign,

      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.
