Your final predictions (#30)

Last year, I was on the Phillip Dorsett bandwagon. Boy am I glad we left him in the board! 

This year, it's not that I don't care, it's that I trust the FO. That's a big step for anyone that's known me over the years.

Full disclosure though, I don't feel like this team can be successful minus a Greg Olsen. I feel like if he were to get injured, we would be in serious trouble. You guys remember that game where he fell awkwardly? I remember thinking we were done if he wasn't okay. That was a scary feeling! For that one reason alone, because he's that much of an impact, I'd like to see Hunter Henry. I wouldn't be devastated if we don't draft him though. I just feel that at some point in this draft, the TE position needs to be addressed! Even if it's a project, perhaps the BB player out of Baylor I believe. We need to start grooming a replacement for Olsen Imo. I always have wanted Bennet from CHI, but NE has him now unfortunately. Price tag trade wise was right, but we didn't go get him. 

I digress. Like I said initially, I have full faith in our scouts and staff, that they will make the right decision. Having said that, it's unfortunate the way things played out with Josh. It just shows, that even now, things don't work as they should. I put that more on Josh and his agent than I do Gman though.

Its all good, but I want to see production from our 1st rounder. If we trade up fine, if we trade back, fine. Like everyone that has Carolina in its best interest, I hope we hit another home run when we pick. No team an ask for more than that

I'm not a fan of Dodd or Ogbah. I don't think there is a DE that can come in a contribute to the team right now. Which also makes me very happy that I am not a GM and I don't have to make any of these difficult decisions. So if G-man picks one of those dudes I'll be good.

Coleman

Dodd

Butler

Ogbah

In that order. 

As badly as my heart wants him, my head is pretty sure Coleman will be long gone.  So, that leaves Dodd or Butler as the pick, and I'm very confident one of them will be there.  And due to his ability as a pass rusher, I think it will be Dodd.

Depending on if there is a little qb fever headed to the second round, 

If yes, we drop back 1 spot in a trade with Denver to pick up their 4th rd pick and select Jackson III. With the 4th, we draft Hans Gruber since I cant remember his name and he has all the measurables of a top WR in this draft without the experience. Not so risky pick with lots of upside. Plus it would give them a reason to play Ramstein in BofA which is reason enough for me.

With no trade back, I see us going either Dodd or Jackson III, whichever is still on the board.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
