Thomas Davis is making the announcement for the 8th pick and this dawned on me..


Recommended Posts

Not a fan of Solomon Thomas, not sure what everyone sees in him that they do not see in the other DEs. He is no doubt a combine warrior, but he is not much of an edge rusher. It is what it is though. I am sure Cam Newton will be looking sadly at the TV wondering why his side of the ball gets no love in the 1st round. Just a prediction for how the night goes.

I think THOMAS Davis announcing Solomon THOMAS, would be appropriate.

I doubt he falls to us. He's arguably the best Dlinemen. Myles just gets hype because of his freakish physique. Barnett is a better prospect but Myles has more "Potential" and a "Higher Ceiling." 

Solomon Thomas in this Defense would make us go to the SB for several years. Thomas, Lotuleilei, Short, Peppers. Rotating with Johnson and Addison. fug man...The kicker he could kick inside as well and have Butler, Thomas, Peppers, Addison. Or Short, Lotuleilei, Thomas, Peppers. The pass rush is never ending...holy poo.

I doubt he falls too. I guess since I'm dreaming, I'll dream big. You mentioned Barnett. I also would not mind if he wound up a Panther. Not too much longer!

Imagine the chaos if we draft Foster.

You thought adding Kuechly to the best LB corps in football was insane, just imagine adding Foster.

Waste there  so many players better than him that should be there at 8

if you go to Panthers.com it has TD and Olsen as the background picture 

I say it's the next 88 aka OJ Howard

    • 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.
    • 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.
