You dont Lose anything with the extra pick and with thev great Talent evaluation you have more opportunity to improve...thats Not hard to understand...well u It shouldn't Be...

Only 53 guys make the final roster, and most of those will be players returning from last year.

When there are only a few spots available, getting the best players you can for those spots is true "common sense".

Heel would rather have 4 hamburgers than one filet mignon.

To complete that analogy, you're only allowed three items and you already have a Chicken Kiev and a Leg of Lamb on your plate, yet you still order the four hamburgers knowing that you won't even get to eat three of them anyway.

I'm hungry now.

Yes and extra picks v give More chances and better Chances to fInd the best players...limited roster spots dont Really matter if you find a better player ...you keep the better players.Thats LiFe and the business side of the NFL...

That changes that analogy...it would fIt if the if the burgers came with the meal so You sent the lamb back to make iT certain you Get The burgers because you like them better.

But in the real world teams can bring in more and drop who they dont Want or need...more chances  to get v Better Players...

The wrinkle is that Carolina's talent floor is already high and TC/the preseason is not a huge amount of time to evaluate a rookie newcomer when compared to someone (Dean Marlowe, Wegher ,etc.) who has been around for a year and already has upside. Draftees above the 5th round or so often make the team based on a combination of performance and potential but don't always immediately improve the team overall, and when you already have young guys who have been around for an entire season and have already shown potential then why not roll picks together and invest in someone who has a better chance of raising the talent floor?

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
