Recommended Posts

Was on talking about the CBS mock.

 

He went into Safeties. 

-Said expects Searcy will not make this team this year.

-then asked if the Reid, Gaulden, Collin Jones will he good enough. 

He then said "trust me they have a plan". Seemed confident as if he has his sources.

 

 

 

 

Would not shock me 1 bit if we go safety with pick 2 or trade pick 3 back into the 2nd for one

you want him at 16? I'm assuming you've posted this elsewhere but I haven't seen it 

Can’t justify taking him over any of the edge rushers, but somehow I want him in a panthers uniform. 16 is too rich due to who will be available but if a trade back happens, it’s time

So far, I've liked how the team has calmly gone about setting things to right after a season that threw us a lot of bad breaks. Marty hasn't panicked (at least publicly) and he hasn't mortgaged the future to retain anyone. He's cut Kalil the Lesser free and retained a serviceable, maybe even good safety in Reid. 

He handled the retirement of Kalil the Greater well and replaced him with a veteran center of good repute (at least in the eyes of everyone except for that horse-teethed Elway) and managed to dodge the diva carousel that rolled through the league.

What will he take at 16 or 47? Heck if I know. I'd take OT and DE if possible, but I think I'm going to trust Marty on this. He's been masterful when it comes to first rounders so far, maybe his second rounders will be just as good. I think he learned a lot in those years off. He certainly appears to have learned more during the Gettleman years than Gettleman himself did.

    • 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.
