I did see this one tidbit from The Draft Network that concerned me. 

Quote

He has a ¾ like, quick release, but his arm angle puts a lot of pressure on his shoulder.

Quote

He has had injury history (throwing hand and shoulder) that needs to be evaluated as the process continues. He may have shoulder issues in the future due to the angle in which he releases the football — notable given he's already had shoulder surgery on his throwing arm.

So I don't know if anyone remembers this, but back in the day, a decade ago, there was a guy that was doing prospect breakdowns and he did one for Cam and said something along the lines of "His throwing motion is a very violent herky jerky motion that puts a ton of stress on his shoulder. He might have issues with that as his career goes forward." His mechanics were built around his shoulder instead of his legs and when his shoulder went to crap, his throwing ability fell apart. Might have been exaggerated due to the way he threw and why he had to tweak his throwing motion a few years back. I'll post the link if I can find it, but it this should not be something that the team should take lightly.

I am not going to lie, a few of those throws look identical to Trevor in regards to placing the ball right where the WR can get it and just perfect where the defender can do nothing.   I dont know how well he reads defenses or how he audibles but he throws some really nice balls.

 

I am not concerned with his shoulder but moreso his frame.  He has to get thicker

I dont think Cams motion hurt his shoulder it was just a combination of a ton of things.  Getting hit in particular scrambling, a terrible oline, Watt,  and waiting waiting waiting on treating the shoulder for fear of surgery.   The panthers failed Cam but he didnt do himself any favors trying to play through it.

What was the concise write up? This is what it said about the kid:

Wilson (6-foot-3, 210 pounds) is in the middle of a sensational season. Through nine games, he already has 2,724 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and two interceptions while averaging 11.5 yards per attempt.
 

Then it had videos.

It is concise with videos adding to it.  (Sic) Pictures vs a thousand words

Don’t like it, pass it by

I like Wilson the prospect, but there are definitely durability questions. He's still in college and he's already had two surgeries on his throwing arm - one on his shoulder and one on his thumb. That's pretty damn concerning. Factor in his slight frame and... yeah.

But yeah, I do really like him as a player.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      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.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      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?
