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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.

      Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.

      Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
