Outside of a QB who do you have and why?

Going to be really hard to evaluate talent based on the weird season (or lack of season for some) that 2020 has given us. Something tells me the number of busts in the first round of the draft will be way out of proportion this time around.

I'm not sure that I wouldn't prefer going to one of the less flashy positions with a first round pick. OL, MLB, S, TE. (And TE only if there is something impressive coming out of basketball (if there's a season there)).

OL or DB. Really depends on where we draft. 

I REALLY wish we would have kept Bradberry over Shaq last offseason. Dude is playing fantastic. 

This was such a swing and miss on our part. Bradberry regularly locked up guys we will play against for the next 6-8 years.

Everyone wants a QB and rightly so but our chances of getting one of the top tier QB is slim.   If we can't get a QB?

What is your top pick and why.

I'm not a one to follow college players too much so I really wouldn't be able to give a clear choice.

Who do you want?

I don't think it's slim. We're currently sitting at 3 wins and there are 3 maybe 4 QBs considered top tier in this draft. Jags and Jets prob going QB and ahead of us. Dallas or Giants (one of the two, but not both) will prob be ahead of us. I think whoever it is takes Sewell. Then the Bengals and Chargers will be ahead of us and won't take QBs. I think we get to pick from Wilson or Lance, assuming nobody trades up. That being said if 3 of the top 4 are gone and we don't love the next QB in line, take hopefully Sewell if he's there

I was a big proponent for keeping Bradberry over Shaq. Most on here found him overrated but I’ll take consistency over the occasional flashy play with a giant splash of mediocrity. Looking at you “action” Jackson.

Imagine having Bradberry, Douglas, Jackson and Elder as your top 4 corners? And we really wouldn't have had a big drop off at LB because they have stunk the whole time.

This. Constantly spending huge resources at LB and RB hasn't worked out well for us as a franchise, yet here we have many Panthers fans wanting to spend another high first round pick on a LB.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.
