What Are You Going To Be Upset About If We Draft A

I'm not up for drafting a quarterback but I can live with it if we do.

I'd prefer an offensive lineman, but corner and D-Line are also legitimate needs. Couldn't really complain about those even if they're not my preference.

Going back to a Marty special and drafting a linebacker or runningback would make me wanna barf.

Only thing I'd be "upset" about is anybody else picked if "Sewell, Pitts or Chase" are still available. 

Sewell: Tackles our Oline problem

Pitts: Tackles our redzone problem 

Chase: If you thought last year was good with DJ, Robbie and Samuel lol.  

At the same time, whoever picked is apart of the family so that bitterness would only last around 24 hours. Atleast until the 2nd round, where I'd have another chance to experience the same dissatisfaction again.

IF we drafted a LB or RB in the 1st.

IF we drafted a LB or RB in the 2nd. 

I think we have solid needs on both sides of the ball. I would prefer we go either: OL in the first 2 rounds, or all in on defense and pick up a CB and S in the first two rounds.

I'm honestly not getting upset about a draft. I remember people complaining about Steve Smith and Luke Kuechly. 

Exactly.

I'll be upset if we don't take the best player available. If we get a middling LT for 6 years, but the pick after ours is an All-Pro LB I'll be disappointed.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
