DEFENSIVE LINE RANKING, WEEK 3: 17th
Star defensive interior Kawann Short is still getting the job done for the Panthers’ defense, as he leads the defense in overall grade (84.5), pass-rush grade (74.2) and total pressures (10). However, Short alone can’t carry Carolina’s defensive line atop this list, especially when edge defenders Bryan Cox Jr. (38.3) and Wes Horton (42.3) have turned in abysmal overall grades through Week 3.

I'm not surprised at all, honestly.

We gotta sign or draft a pass rusher in offseason

Im probably in the minority but it’s more of a need than safety.  

IF Reid works out and we extend him on a reasonable contract then Edge and Oline will be the only two directions in the 1st next year.

Deepest Dline draft in years, so I'm sure we'll get whoever falls to us

Yep. I was saying to not draft a DE because the 2019 class is chock full of 4-3 DEs. I hope we go DE in first and I wouldn’t mind using the two thirds to make a move up. I was hoping the Clemson guys would have come out this year. Ferrell the DE looks amazing. He might have lasted to our pick. He might go top 5 next year. 

They don't have him going Top 5. They do have Oliver & Bosa going Top 5 though.

      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.
