Who is your off the board wild card pick at #24?

I wouldn't be shocked if we took Lamar Jackson at #24. Now people may say why the hell would we draft a QB?

 

1. We need a backup for Cam. Yes he is the franchise, but with his style of play you got to start thinking longterm about his health and potential risk to more injuries. What better QB for Cam to take under his wing than Lamar Jackson? Jackson can learn from Cam and maybe even see playing time on wildcard packages and gadget plays. Drafting Lamar Jackson at #24 allows us to have a QB for the future and a reliable backup in case Cam gets injured. It wouldn't shock me if we took him in the 1st round.

Who is your wildcard pick at #24 that would shock the fans?

Taking a developmental backup #24 overall when you have a 29 year old franchise QB would be dumb as hell. You start looking for you QB of the future once your established starter is mid-30s. We should be 4-5 years away from that.

I'll go with Kolton Miller as my wildcard. No one is talking about OTs for us this year for the first time in just about forever, but Matt Kalil just isn't all that great and who knows what type of contract Daryl Williams might command.

Id say any Tight End or Offensive Tackle would be very unexpected.

Id flip my table if Hurney picked D. Payne... I think hes like the 2nd rated DT or something , but Ive had enough DTs to last me a few years since Gettlemans tenure and Hurney flubbing on Fua and McClain. I just hope he stays the hell away from DT. 

I think we will be in position to possibly draft the # 3 saftey, #3 CB, there are a lot of signs pointing to this pick being made on the secondary.

Readlly wild card pick - Taven Bryan

Surely I'm not the only person who thinks the JJ Watt comparisons are absurd.  Watt had double the tackles, triple the tackles for loss, and double the sacks in two seasons at Wisconsin as Bryan did in three at Florida.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
