DG might have made a mistake by drafting need instead of BPA but he will always put what he thinks are the best 53 on the roster come cut day. 

Will be interesting to note how many 5th rounders and picks after Sanchez are cut league-wide today.

Sanchez is a rookie trying to learn to play pro football at a very tough position.  Gettleman must really feel he's not worth the investment in development on the 53.  If he clears he will def be on the practice squad but I can see a team less deep and talented than the Panthers securing him and allowing the process to play out one way or the other.

If he keeps Sandland over Sanchez, that will be one of the most mindboggling things ever.  

Yep. Also even if Sandland is cut, it means we only have 3 picks from this years draft on the roster. I think that's the lowest in Panthers history. Hell, I think 4 is anyway.

No, it just means that you can't fathom why one raw rookie made it over another raw rookie. In addition, our depth at TE is thin. We're fine at CB.

Dude, no.  Just no.  If it's so thin, why didn't we keep Lucas?  Just stop.  You have no clue what you're talking about.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
