23 days until the draft!


Recommended Posts

23 days, 6 hours, and 15 minutes at the time this was posted.  Is anyone else as excited as I am?

For starters, we have the 7th best draft capital in the NFL going in.

We have a roster that, IMO, makes the playoffs with the current talent level and is only going to improve.

We have a GM who is adept at finding talent, and has no qualms about maneuvering draft position to get the players he wants.

This draft class is amazing, especially at our positions of need. 

Never have I seen a draft where players in the 3rd round are being talked about like day-1 starters.  

Is it too early to be this amped?

Man, it's kind of sad.  After draft, we'll be left fantasizing about how well our team will do because of our paper improvements...then mini camp...then more fantasizing, then training camp....  So this is how the NFL has become a year long sport..

But I'm so excited to see how the story lines play out!

I don't remember being this excited for a draft. We've never seen DG in a position of being a contender with a top 10 draft pick. He's been decisive before about trading up to get who he wants. In this position might he make different moves?

I don't know but I'm excited to see how it plays out. We should end up with solid talent regardless but this year it just seems the possibilities are endless.

I learned to temper my excitement for the draft after the past 2.  Both 1st round picks were no wheres close to an area of need.  Was it BPA?  Not looking that way.

I'm incapable of learning to temper my excitement. I've been told it's genetic and fatal.

I check the huddle a couple of times a day to see if there is any breaking news....damn well knowing that there isn't going to be anything except offseason threads, player visit threads, and mock drafts......but I can't help it, keep coming back all the same.

Bring on the draft!

    • Really? Wow. Sorry. Got my timeline messed up. I remember someone claiming to be Graham’s mom on the old Charlotte.com board so I guess it was a long time ago that he was here. I guess I thought he was after Kasay. 
    • Nick Scott has gotten his share of Huddle hate, but I came across this SI article by Zach Roberts when I was researching recently released Quandre Diggs, speculated to be a better option  (https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/07/breaking-titans-cut-former-three-time-pro-bowler-quandre-diggs-4-destinations-ranked/3/), but getting back to Nick Scott... Now to be fair, the observation on Scott was before the Packers game, but the stats couldn't have changed that much, and may have gotten better.   "At some point during virtually every Carolina Panthers game, you have probably found yourself grumbling about Nick Scott. The much-maligned safety has seemingly been out of position a lot or has failed to make a play. The eye test has often let him down. "But that's why stats are so helpful. Sometimes, the eye test, especially for fans, is unreliable. On occasion, advanced metrics help make sense of things and lend more clarity. In the case of Scott, they make him look like a much better safety than any of us would've guessed. "In coverage, Scott has given up just 15 yards and an average of five yards per catch. That's the lowest among safeties, leading superstars like Julian Love, Talanoa Hafunga, Quandre Diggs, Kerby Joseph, Kyle Hamilton, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "In FI%, the safety leads all his counterparts once again at 40%. Brian Branch, Camren Kinchens, and Xavier McKinney are some notable names he leads. He's been pretty excellent in pass coverage, which is crucial for the Panthers." For those wondering, "FI" means forced incompletions. Now I'm way past trying to figure out why X links aren't embedding for me like they used to, but here you go: https://x.com/dacornerman/status/1981363757608513632?t=rx_5iLjp8_y5huNcg_y1nA&s=19   Suffice it to say that Scott may not be as bad as some have led on.    https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/much-maligned-panthers-db-way-better-than-think
