London born Efe Obada is an interesting guy. With Peppers a FA and CJ's days being numbered, we need DE depth.

Seems to me this guy was having a good camp but by rule couldn't be added to the 53 man roster. He was the 11th practice squad player but could not be activated at all.

Maybe I am wrong but I thought there were some really positive things being said about him.  We have him this coming year and barring being cut for someone else.   Might actual be a steal for us.

Sorry for bumping but didn't want to create its own thread.

If the injury reserve team and Efe pan out.  We could have a much better team than most think that we will.

You figure Hall and Efe workout our DE position is much better than most are predicting.

 

Really rooting for Efe, glad we have him this year going into camp, hes a physical beast who has had time to actually develop. I have no doubt he's been putting in work. 

Don't forget Cox Jr, I think he is a guy the team is high on. He had some play time this year, hopefully that helps accelerate this development. Could be a valuable back up. But at the end of the day DE is the same situation as WR, got a lot of good players there that can make a difference but we still need THE GUY out there that is just a little bit above the rest, if that makes sense.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
