man i really hope you're right about tre boston. he was my biggest concern coming into the season with that depleted secondary.


Tre Boston was really my biggest concern on this list as well. I think he doesn't need to get too antsy back there and let the plays come to him. I'm also interested to see how well he tackles in the open field this year as well.

It seemed like almost every time Boston came in the game last year, he ended up making a play, so I'm not that concerned about him. He can cover a lot of ground out there and he's a team player.

I'm glad you put Mayo on the list Jeremy. Even last year, I noticed him making plays on ST's coverage units. He can definitely run and make a big hit. I'll be looking forward to seeing him play some more MLB in the remaining pre season games.

 

I'm disappointed that Williams isn't on the list, but I guess you can't have it all.

he has been routinely abused in pass coverage whenever he's asked to start. he has his moments (see: atlanta, christmas 2014) but then russell wilson ate him alive in the playoffs two games later. i don't know if he's overagressive or what but he often seems to get lost in space.and allow his man to get over the top.

i really hope he comes out and kicks everyone's ass.

Very nice list of players.  As others have commented, it's great to see Tre Boston on the list.  He's the only "surprise" to me in the sense that there hasn't been all that much focus on him in training camp.  But I do sense he's ready to have a very solid season.

It's a bit worrying that there's no DE on the list.  I know many of us were hoping that Delaire, Cox or Miley would shine and prove to be a breakout player who could eventually step in for CJ in case we don't renew CJ following this season.  Such a shame about Cox's back problems.  Hopefully Delaire will learn from his bad outing against Baltimore...

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
