Panthers "focused in" on Pitts?

Unless the Cowboys move up to get him. Pitts would be a great pick for us but personally if I couldn't get the 1st or 2nd best offensive lineman, then I'd take Pitts. "Owners of the 10th overall pick, the Cowboys would most likely have to trade up to land Pitts, the top-ranked tight end in the draft."

I mean we could find one second round right?  Not saying it’s going to happen but if we want Pitts why not wait to second?

Round 2 man

Like we did two years ago?

Every time we have an opportunity to possibly get a franchise left tackle, we find some excuse not to take them.

This is the year to break that trend.

Who's playing left tackle in this scenario?

Generally speaking, if we go non-LT R1, there's Jenkins, Mayfield, Cosmi, Radunz, a handful of LT potential picks we could make a slight trade up for. 

Darrisaw & Vera-Tucker are R1 but unsure how the rest shake out.

Thinking outside the box, I would not be dissapointed if we wound up doing something like:

1-Pitts/Waddle/Chase/Horn 2-Radunz/Cosmi/Mayfield

--

It seems like we may be coveting skills guys up high to maximize our playmaking potential.  We're a solid offense if Darnold doesn't fizzle out but we could use another special talent.

I think it would be unwise to take a TE in the top ten. And I know pitts is really special. It feels like a luxury pick when we have so many other holes in positions of high value. If all the top OTs and Qbs are gone I could maybe be ok with it. A trade up for Pitts? That would be horrible.

Highly highly doubt we take a QB at 8, regardless of whom is there. My opinion is that we’re gonna roll the dice with Sam this year for better or worse and we are in a sweet spot to land the top talent at whatever non-QB position we want. 

Agreed. Unless Wilson somehow made it to us, we aren’t looking for a QB in. the first two rounds anymore IMO. Sewell, Slater or Pitts are the only offensive moves I see us making at 8. Otherwise it’s defense or a trade back.

If Sewell is not there, I would go with Pitts.  If neither is there, I don't know.  I'm not crazy about Slater, and if Fields is there, we should trade with a team that wants him.

I don't understand the Sewell love-in.

If he was an inch taller and had longer arms I'd understand the whole furore about him, but as he's got very similar measurables to Slater I don't think there's too much separating them as prospects.

Yeah, you’re right, we cant draft any more OL in round 2.  Brilliant 

If we have an opportunity to get a premier left tackle that'll protect our quarterback for the next ten years, there's no way in hell we should pass on him.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
