I don't see the CB need.Bouye being suspended 2 weeks is something they already knew. As a veteran who's considered extremely knowledgeable and versatile it's not the end of the world and he has the extra time to heal up.

I could see a tackle that let's us move on from Little. Any usable tackle would do.

Honestly, I could see us move on from Little with what we got. I see Erving and Scott ahead of him at LT, and probably Daley as well. Moton and Christensen at RT. Do we need 6 tackles on the active roster?? I think not.

No love for Josh McCown? 👀

Surprised that KJ Wright hasn't been brought in to be worked out given his ties to Fitterer. Wouldn't mind DJ Swearinger getting a looksie as well to be that enforcer at SS

That would also open up THE POSSIBILITY of moving Chinn back to LB if needed due to injury. 2 birds, 1 stone.

Again, a great fit. If I'm not mistaken he still lives in Charlotte.

Question - is the team good enough that the Panthers should be willing to burn a 1st rounder next year for a competent LT?

Simple answer is no, not even close.  They need every pick they can get to continue to build this thing.  They are better from the outside looking in but that doesn't guarantee anything.  They still have to play the games.

We got Teddy B instead of playing Grier which may have gotten us a couple less "wins". 

We didn't have to full out tank for Herbert, he was in reach had we not signed TB for all that money.

That's why I bring up Herbert as a mistake. Marty went to Oregon during CV19 to go see Herbert and we didn't make moves to get him.

Your timeline seems to be a bit jacked up.  We signed Teddy last year, during the same offseason that Herbert was drafted.  Signing Teddy had zero impact on our 2020 draft position...that would have been the Kyle Allen season.

The team is not even close to good enough.

The only circumstance in which we are trading a 1st for a left tackle should be one that is our starter for the foreseeable future. And, in that scenario, one first may not be enough to get it done.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
