I suspect the Panthers are desperately trying to trade up right now

The Carolina Panthers are likely trying like heck to trade up right now. If Burns was no longer on the board last night or if Hurney was able to trade back and acquire a few picks, I suspect Greg Little was a first round possibility. The fact that he is still available in round 2 and the Panthers desperately need a natural left tackle, well, it doesn't take much to realize that Hurney has likely been on the phone all day wheeling and dealing.

I'd have taken two solid linemen from this draft and wouldn't mind a trade up for a tackle, hopefully keep one of our thirds and grab a safety with that. Then whatever we have left grab the best defensive players available and maybe a late round rb.

2 guys with round 1 grades at out biggest glaring holes is a homerun 

 

 

Still wish we could hold off and hope he continues to fall to 47 (remember most were saying he was behind Taylor and Ford on peoples big boards)

 

Then if we did that try to tradd back in the 2nd for a Safety. Adderley, Chauncey Gardner Johnson, and Thornhill.  There are some Stud safeties still falling as well.

Cody Ford is also in play. Unclear which they prefer depending on who you talk to.

Id assume if those 2 are off the board. That Risner is as well.  We met with him

Kid can play OT, OG, and Center (which is big incase there is any set back with Paradis's injury)

    • 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.
