Ok, so with the BPA theory... Show me your Panthers draft big board (or, in my initial post, the top 30 prospects)

Gotta play the hand you're dealt.  They were cap strapped and the league removed the $13+ million and our franchise player in 2014.  Needed a WR too and KB was the best value at 28 as well.  In 2015 even picking in the late 1st they probably would have taken Humphries if Arizona didn't, who, by the way, was an epic bust before moving to LT but the final verdict is still sketchy at best.  And, after Oher represented relative value after last year, it was understandable to think we'd be "ok" to this point without giving up more than we'd get back.

I've still not seen or thought of a "I wish we'd have done this" at LT since Gross retired.

Going forward, if we believe Oher returns, then hope Ramscyk falls to round 2 or pick Davenport in Round 3 to groom and for insurance.

If we don't believe Oher returns, trade for one-Staley from the dumpster fire in Santa Clara being the most likely.

Nothing else we can do.  Teams like the Rams for Greg Robinson, Jaguars for Joeckl, or even Bengals for Ogbuehi among countless others have tried and failed.

I don't buy the logic of there was nothing they could do about there OL for over a half decade.

If there QB hadn't been a human video game that allowed them to cheat the system....they would have done more in that time IMO

Not a fan either of looking back at a draft and looking at random pick X and then saying there wasn't a player drafted right after him that matches so there was nothing we can do.  That just isn't how the NFL works.  Teams that want to solve X....move, trade, use FA, cut guys, play with the cap, whatever.....to do what they want.  Cam made the OL not a priority to the FO.  Now we are paying for it.

Hasn't been over half a decade.  Gross pulled the mini-shocker only 3 years ago.  Having said that, if Oher doesn't look full go, then MUST trade for Thomas/Staley/Veldheer/Brandon Albert/other, sign Okung, Whitworth, SOMETHING and SOMEONE that knows something in their life about playing adequate football at LT in the NFL, even if it means overpaying a wee bit.

How did Gross pull a mini-shocker?  The Gettlemen restructure made his retirement blatantly obvious of exactly when it was going to occur. That was the start of our OL decline.  Gettlemen forced Gross into that and our OL was totally put on the back burner from that point forward.

So yeah, I say our OL has been neglected for a half decade.

I love Cam Robinson, we would be lucky to have that stud. Both Safeties Adams and Hooker would be good picks also. I would say that Cook and Fournette would be after those three to me. If we got a legit veteran and Cam Robinson, Stew will go be an animal next year..and Cam will be able to stand in the pocket for more than 2 seconds

the bad part is we have just gotten so painfully behind in terms of our OL.

realistically, we should now be looking to draft and find Kalil's future replacement. But that won't occur until after Kalil retires/isn't here.  

Gross has been gone for how long?  and we were suppose to be working on getting a real RT before he left.

Definitely true, but we also aren't the only team faced with this issue.  Aside of Dallas, I don't think there's a single team in the league that feels good about their depth at tackle.  Every year there are fewer and fewer tackles that enter the league that are ready to make an instant impact.  Finding good tackles now is extremely difficult.

Cam Robinson just isn't that good.  It's even more concerning for me that he's coming from Alabama, Saban honestly peaks a lot of those guys before they leave the college game.  And Robinson as he is now would get absolutely torched in the NFL

After Fournette / Hooker / Adams... My two favorite prospects are Quincy Wilson and Jalen Tabor in that order.

How would you all feel if we took Wilson or Tabor after just spending a draft on corners? 

Assuming we grab a Jefferson or Cyrprien in FA and a couple pass rushers as well...

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By t96 · Posted

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
