Carolina Panthers now have three of the top 2016 rookie corners

Finally, a trade that improves the team since the Olsen trade.

Looks like the Panthers are not pleased with the state of the CB position. Seymour reminds me of Josh Norman. Need a physical CB who gets in the face of receivers and can come up to support the run/flat. Thank you Hurney.

No doubt he will end up being the best CB on the team.

That stat means QBs were successful 1 out of 15 snaps when throwing to the kid. 

That's crazy.

One of the advanced statistics Pro Football Focus uses is “Cover Snaps Per Reception Allowed,” which is exactly what it sounds like.

The higher the number the better, because it indicates a defensive back was in coverage often without allowing many receptions.

That's not what that means ...that would be ridiculous.

This is like something out of Madden - sign a guy off the street before camp, trade him for a quality player.

Yeah I'm shocked the bills gave this kid up with so much potential for a guy off the street. This wasn't a fleece but the deal seemingly favors us. Good move Marty.

Excited about the acquisition but I think the PFF metric is flawed. Bradberry is clearly better than Worley at this point, but Worley played more snaps while Bradberry was hurt. Add to that the fact that Worley was probably playing some of those snaps with Colin Jones and Teddy Williams in the secondary so they were the ones likely targeted.

Your ignorance amazes me

    • 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.
