You know, I'm betting CJ is the most appreciative of the bunch. Even though I'm sure he knew that his release was mostly due to cap concerns, he's gotta be thrilled to come back, just because he loves the Panthers, and find himself being named a captain.

When will we get one of Gettleman's players as a captain for the team? There are 6 captain spots. I would imagine Gettleman's players are good enough to get one of those 6 spots.

Guess not.

Never, because Gettleman's the worst GM in the league and the Panthers will never win anything with him so I guess we just shouldn't watch or care about football until he's fired.

That's because he's only had to fill in side dishes. Steak was already here

Captains are usually veterans. Veterans are usually players that have been in the league for a while. This is Gettleman's fourth year. Therefore none of his picks are veterans. Therefore none of his picks are captains

Seems like sound logic. Cam was a captain in his 3rd season. Kuechly was a captain in his 2nd season. So, non-Gettleman picks just get to captain status quicker? Or does it just take longer for a Gettleman drafted player to act like a veteran?

Either way Gettleman drafted players need to have at least 1 of the 6 captain spots by now.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
