Yeah I'm fairly sure it was an ankle injury or something similar.

That's what I remember too. 

If his lack of production was due to the coach benching him over an argument, said coach needs to be fired.

4th and later is where we pick up our backups.  These are important players. Just because Hurney didn’t take it seriously does not mean we can’t start now. 

i have a feeling Rhule and Fitt may be better talent evaluators than the last crew. They may have better luck finding contributors after the Hurneys of the world stop go home.

Whoa! I thought he was injured/covid risk during the season. The coach benched him that long over an argument?

Here is what the disagreement with the coach was about.  Could be a difficult outspoken player to work with.  Definitely coming in with a chip on his shoulder.

No I'm suggesting talent is all over the draft and the more swings you have the better chance you have at drafting them.. 

Also this opinion is off due to the fact You nor I know how their board is stacked up and where "they" had these players ranked.. You basing your opinion on who you think they should have drafted based on your non professional knowledge of who they really scouted and who they wanted..

Lol, I never said that I knew. I am using simple logic that is based on the history of drafting in the NFL. You could just look at a column chart showing the number of players that are still on a team based on the round that they were drafted and see which rounds have the highest probability for choosing players that will actually help the team. 
Like I said before, I understand why the Panthers are doing this for this draft, but in my opinion it is not the best thing to do every year. Otherwise you will end up with a lot of late rounders and have to spend more in free agency to get qualified talent. Maybe that is their strategy after all.

lots of the guys taken after the 3rd, will not be year one starters.

most have talent, but need to be coached at a different level to one that is suitable for the pro game.

many schemes from college are not anything like the pro style offense.

if we find the "athletes" that love football, our coaches can make them great contributors after their initial season

is there a stat that shows which drafts were more loaded with talent than others?

      Is Hughes on hat trick watch for the Canes? Could he be first star if they win?

      2026 Team Needs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      QB: Overhaul the room. Jettison Bryce if possible but if he must remain then use a combination of a FA QB and draft QB to replace Dalton and provide realistic replacement options for Bryce when he continues to fail in 2026. RB: Figure out Brooks and Dowdle's future. If Brooks is not going to be a factor, move on and obtain a roster capable backup RB. Dowdle, retain if he is reasonable to afford, if not, find another Dowdle. TE: Find an upgrade that is also a genuine receiving threat. Sanders can be moved/cut, if necessary. OL: Find a starting caliber C through the draft or FA. Extend Ikey and attempt to minimize the early cap hits. Attempt to retain(depending on price) Mays, Corbett and Nijman. Draft IOL and OT as backups/depth. Versatility is key for lower round picks(BC/Mays caliber). Special Teams: Retain Sam Martin. Extend JJ Jansen if he wants to stay. Draft a legitimate WR/KR/PR guy again. It has been years since we have had an above average combo player like this. EDGE: Retain Wonnum/Gipson depending on price. Cut DJ Jones. Bolster this position group through the draft. We currently only field rotational caliber players. This is not sustainable. Get actual pass rushing ability. DL: Find a real NT. Bolster depth and upgrade across the board.  ILB: Find starting caliber ILB's through draft or free agency. There are no current players on the two deep that cannot be upgraded. This is a MASSIVE roster weakness. S: Let Nick Scott walk or sign him as depth for a cheap, short term deal. Upgrades across the board are needed aside from Moehrig.  CB: Bolster depth and find a long term replacement for Jackson through the draft. Depth at this position is extremely weak.
