The Wayyyyy Too Early Draft Projection

So that Panthers are currently sitting with the 11th overall draft pick, but I feel they will likely have the 15th overall pick. With us being over halfway into the season, what do you all think we should target positionally? Defensive line, O-line, CB, Safety? Maybe QB?? 

I know this doesn't help our team any but I would like us to take Kyle Pitts (TE) out of Florida, seems like he could fall to us and he is a STUD. Trey Lance might be there as well as a few decent Edge Rushers and Joe Horns son, Jaycee Horn who plays CB....

What is your thoughts??

Unfortunately the Panthers are excellent at pointlessly beating bad teams down the stretch with draft position on the line. The Saints also make a point of tanking against us in the last game of the season (it's tradition) to add that extra win to push us so far down the draft that you'd think we had a good season.

We'll probably be drafting so far down that the player we select will be a player unknown to most of the Huddle. We'll beat Minn, Wash, and NO's second string. We're screwed, but we knew this when we brought in Teddy to try and win now.

If you have a chance to get Lance/Wilson or whatever QB we think is worthy, you take them without question.  We HAVE to find our QB before this team can ever be great, so if you have a chance at your guy you have to take it. If we don't like the QBs where we are, BPA plain and simple.  Roster has some talent, sure, but we could still use upgrades literally everywhere with a heavy emphasis on the OL preferably.

Would vastly prefer a LT to TE.

Why?  Difficult to find quality ones outside of first round combined with how important they are to winning. Also note the degree to which Brady's offense seems to need a pass catching TE to be effective, as in not very much, vs how much it needs an effective LT to keep it's QB upright, as in desperately.

My school of thought is that in a pass wacky NFL, premium positions that throw the ball, protect the ball thrower, knock the ball thrower down, and to a lesser extent, cover the guy the ball thrower is throwing to, are the ones most likely to merit mid to upper first round picks. WR's and TE's don't really imo because good ones are more abundant than quality at the positions mentioned. Thus I like QB's, OT's DE's and maybe elite CB's in the top half of the first.

I pray this team does not spend it's next first on Micah Parsons, not because I have anything against him, but because he plays the least relevant position on the defense to stopping the pass in a passing league. This team needs an upgrade to Whitehead at MLB, but too many here seem wedded to the notion that can only be done in the first round.

Bollux I say.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
