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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
