Thanks R-P, but I wonder how many sacks were up the gut?  We need a C, LG, and probably a LT--I am of the camp that we KNOW we need a C and probably a LG, but Little has simply not been given a fair chance to develop.  Thanks for this, though.  It makes me second-guess my thinking,

If anyone who has been watching the Panthers since Gross retired still needs a case made out to them for drafting a LT at #7 then I don't know what else to tell them.

I'm not saying to definitely draft one there, it depends on what the board looks like when we're on the clock, but the possibility should abso-fuging-lutely be on the table.

It wasn't just the LT that contributed to that. We need a center who can command that line ina similar way Khalil did. Honestly it would be a waste to draft another LT when we do have a talented guy on the roster. Yes, he didnt play much, but Greg Little has talent. Give him a shot before drafting another LT.

I know LT isn’t the most exciting pick but boy wouldn’t it be nice to not have to worry about left tackle for a change. 


Both sides of the ball need a lot of help up front. Hopefully we can end up with one of Andrew Thomas or Derrick Brown. Both would significantly help.

My bet is he loves Brown. 

He's taken so many/traded for so many DTs in his tenure, I think he almost certainly goes tackle

I realize this is the same guy who took Vernon Butler when we were stacked, but I think even Gettleman has his limits

Especially since he just recently hired "4 computer folks" (analytics guys)

Need to take the BPA at OL AND DL. (with nearly all picks.)

Whats gotten lost in all this DT and OL stuff, is DE/OLB is a giant need too. Only Burns is there and two other young question marks. 

If a stud D-end is there at #7, take him.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
