I know a lot of the discussion right now centers around who will be available versus who could have been available if we had the higher pick.

Who are some of the guys you're hoping for but aren't counting on?

Who are some of the realistic possibilities?

In the end all we did was drop 8 spots. 

In every single round. The cumulative value is roughly an early 2nd round pick. That's what we cost ourselves by winning a completely meaningless game.

Yeah, I'm pissed about it but whatever. What's done is done.

Funny enough the Hornets are soon going to find themselves in the same position as the Panthers.

Regardless, the story is always going to be the same. Competitors like to compete and Kyle Allen was going to play to win regardless of what we as a fanbase wanted.

This. Other than resting key starters, which we did, I'm not sure what else you do to lose. Throw intentional interceptions? Fumble on purpose? Try not to tackle?

 

 

I'm honestly curious what you tell someone like Kyle Allen to do in this situation. Don't try? Not a single one of you would tell these players in person to lose.

only reason we won that game is because the saints didn't try or care.

we should play to win every game and we probably would a lot more if that was the most important thing to rivera and he did whatever was necessary to win.

Not completely done.

Who will be available, and who won't be, when we pick will be a direct result of our final record, and that game.

So until the draft is actually completed and we see the results, it's not quite over.

I believe the highest we could have picked is 7th, if Quinnen Williams is sitting there at 7 I'll be pretty bummed.

As for our pick, I'd be happy with adding Greedy Williams to our defensive back room as you can't go wrong with an LSU DB and I also wouldn't be opposed to Devin White if the Panthers are truly intent on going to more 3-4 looks (they would also have to be satisfied with White's ability to play OLB in a 4-3 scheme as well). 

And I may be in the minority but I like Clelin Ferrell over Sweat even if both are there. Ferrell already has Everson Griffinesque ball get off skills he just needs to work on his technique. Ferrell is also already doing it at 260, I'm worried what an additional 15 to 20 pounds will do to Sweat.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't disagree, but you're not giving our offense enough credit, and I'm not saying we would win the SB, just that we would be contenders, which we would have been. The Bengals had a horrible start to the season last year and it caused them to just miss the playoffs by one game, but had they made it, they absolutely would have been contenders in the AFC.  They had a bad defense, probably worse than ours will be this year, and you can't convince me that we don't have a better offensive roster than they had last year.   We have a Top 10 OL, two 1k rushers from last year, two 1st round WRs, one of the best slot WRs in the league, and then Coker.  Like I said, their Top 2 WRs are better than ours will be this year, but we take them in every other spot, OL, RBx2, and our 3rd/4th WRs.   If Burrow was able to turn that team into a contender last year, no reason he couldn't do the same with our roster this year.  And hell, I think our offensive roster is better than KC's last year too, and while I know their defense did a lot of the heavy lifting last year, if you give Mahomes an improved offensive roster around him, he's going to be THAT much better himself. A Mahomes, Burrow, or Allen would be able to win the South by outscoring teams.  And yes, come playoff time against an Eagles or Lions juggernaut, our defense probably costs us the game, but that doesn't mean we wouldn't at least be contenders. If Bryce can prove me wrong and his supporters here right, and be THAT guy for us this year, I genuinely think we can be a real playoff threat in 2026 once we add a few more pieces to the defense and then be a genuine SB contender in 2027 if the team keeps improving. We're the 2022 Detroit Lions right now.   Great offensive pieces, tons of holes on defense, but if things go right we'll just miss the playoffs (like they did) and then be right in the playoff hunt the next year (like they did) and then be contenders the following season (like they did when they were the #1 seed).

      Hornets have had the worst luck of any professional sports franchise this century. Constantly drafting a slot below the generational talent, all because of the lottery done behind closed doors. It's been brutal and frankly unfair to be a diehard fan of this franchise, and I don't blame anyone for cutting out the stress.

      We will see if there is any logic to those sort of packages. I haven't seen a ton of evidence that Evero operates that way.
