I don't put a whole lot of energy into mocks, but I do look at them occasionally during all the waiting before the actual draft! Tim Weaver and Panthers Wire's mock is as interesting as any other I guess, but I'm thinking that they could be on to something with this draft being all offense.

The tea leaves will be what we do with the rest of free agency. If we can somehow sign, for example, Breshaud Breeland, Steven Nelson, Malik Hooker, DaQuan Jones or maybe even re-sign Short, I could see the tea leaves falling in favor of an all-offense draft. I just think that the thought is interesting considering what actually transpired last draft, even if I question some of their picks (not that I know a lot about them...other than Lance of course, and Shi Smith). What do you know about these guys? What do you think about an all-offense draft? What would you say about Lance AND Ehlinger?

 

 

Trey Lance, QB  NDSU 

Walker Little, OT  Stanford 

Kendrick Green, OG  Illinois 

Josh Palmer, WR  Tennessee 

Khalil Herbert, RB  Va Tech 

Shi Smith, WR  South Carolina 

John Bates, TE  Boise St 

Sam Ehlinger, QB  Texas

it's a deep CB class and id imagine the expectation is that we draft one at some point in the first three rounds

 

wouldn't be surprised with a safety either

would you ignore oline to upgrade the secondary ? Or do you just have a lot of faith in the injury prone underperforming FAs that we signed and have been signing for the past several years

I would draft the best player at a position of need with identical positional value

That is one crappy draft. We need a young CB and this is a great draft to get a really good one. We also need youth on our DL.

A "young" CB is fine, as long as he's the BPA. We have youth on our DL, and we need a lot of things. I don't believe in drafting inferior players to the detriment of superior players at another position simply based upon a perceived need, or desire to get younger. Neither excellent teams or franchises are built in a day. It takes time! I'll happily draft vets of varying ages if it completes the team. There's always another season where other--possibly even better--options will arise. Mind you, I'm not saying that we shouldn't address defense and get younger, but that there's simply more things and players to consider, and their relative impact upon the team that season and beyond, as it relates to team building.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
