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.

      Bryce Young Game Winning Drives

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Bryce Young has recorded 4 game-winning drives through nine weeks, leading the Carolina Panthers to crucial victories in tight contests. The 12-play, 58-yard clock-killer versus the Packers in Week 9 (16-13 upset). This pace positions him as the team's most clutch performer in years, with a 68.4% success rate on go-ahead drivesalready surpassing many franchise benchmarks early in his career.   Young's early 2025 surge (top-5 league-wide in clutch EPA at 0.28 per dropback) not only outstrips the debuts of Newton (2 in 2011) and Delhomme (1 in 2003) but hints at him climbing this list quickly if the Panthers sustain their wildcard hunt. Data underscores his growth: no other Panther QB hit 4 GWDs before Week 10 in a season.   The energy fans pour into the stadium directly shapes Bryce Young’s performance positive support has been shown to elevate his fourth-quarter efficiency by 12%, strengthening team cohesion and execution under pressure. Criticizing or booing the starting quarterback fractures morale, disrupts focus, and undermines the very resilience needed in clutch moments. When fans stand firmly behind their QB and team, they become a true home-field advantage, amplifying performance and accelerating the path to sustained success. Now are you a Carolina Panther fan or a Panther hater?

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By frankw · Posted

      Bryce would have extended some plays scrambling with his legs but then again he also has a high number of fumbles so you never know what you're going to get and the way the Bills were getting after Andy (sacked 7 times) it stands to reason Bryce would have been under duress often. What exactly do you want here? I mean I'm going to go by the gameplan I saw after Bryce turned the ball over against GB. Clearly Dave Canales was deliberately trying to limit the opportunities for him to make a catastrophic mistake. And didn't Micah Parsons log zero QB pressures? So with that in mind if you are asking for anyone to argue our offense with Bryce would have had much if any success against that opportunistic motivated Bills defense while we were also splitting carries between Rico and Chuba who had the majority of them which ended up being a situation resulting in a weeks worth of scathing criticism and deservedly so then I'm going to just have to say we can agree to disagree.
