For all of you draft experts, name your top 5 players that you think have a realistic shot at being there when we pick at 24.  Also name your one "won't be there guy" that you think and hope might fall on draft night to us.  Try to pick someone who at least has a small chance of falling.

Top 5

Guice, Hurst, Jackson, Green, Hernandez

Might fall:  Davenport

No clue. There's a handful of players I'd love to have that I'm pretty sure will be gone (Bradley Chubb, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Detain James, etc) but at 24 there will likely be a couple of players go that we thought would be there and maybe we'll get lucky and have a couple of guys there who we thought would be gone. Prior to the combine I thought Josh Jackson was a slam dunk top 15 pick but after looking really raw in on-field drills I think there's a decent chance he's there. If he is I hope we don't even hesitate. Draft him.

As am I, unfortunately I think he will be the first corner taken. 

Eh. Josh Jackson had a "disappointing combine" so he may just be where we're around.

Denzel Ward's who I expect to be one of the first off the board. He's got all the measurables for it too. I can see Josh Jackson falling more so than not, and I'd love him.

Unless we trade up about 10 picks, there's not a chance we land him. 23 teams won't pass.

Ronnie Harrison.  The Falcons caught flak after “reaching” for Neal but are damned glad they did now.  Harrison is a beast and may not make it past the Steelers at 28, but will be there at 24.  Take him.

I like Harrison, but I'd honestly rather have Reid. He's just the harder type of safety to find and the exact type of safety that we need. Those sideline to sideline center fielder deep cover guys are hard to find. Not sure I'd spend a 1st rounder on an in the box thumper like Harrison. Harrison is avoiding running and doing agility drills like the plague. He's slow and stiff and he's smart enough to know it. That doesn't mean he can't be a very good NFL player (Kam Chancellor) but it does mean he's not the type of player that you take in the 1st round and maybe not even the 2nd.

      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.
