I'm a little concerned about te depth bc I mean let's be honest Ian Thomas. But I'm definitely happy about getting another young corner on a rookie contract.

We didn't even use TE last year. Now we have Tremble and Ian VS whoever & Ian last year...I'm not sure why ppl act like we are the 2010 Patriots with Gronk & Hernandez. If anything, that is going to help utilize Robby a little more. 

On the other hand, we never had this much talent at CB, which is arguably the most important position on defense. THIS IS HUGE!

Holy crap.

Did Henderson just have a terrible start to year? Why would the Jags do this besides total rebuild? But wouldn't they want to keep their Top 10 pick from a year ago?

There was talk of Henderson and the Jags wanting to part ways prior to the season starting.

Not a performance thing. Apparently an Urban Meyer thing.

Talent isn't the issue.  Him and the front office and coaching staff had a falling out, and neither side wanted to work with each other anymore.

That is absolutely something that should worry us as Panthers fans, but at the same time we also have no reason not to trust Rhule and Fitt.  I trust Rhule to get a player's head on straight.  By all accounts the team loves the guy.

If it doesn’t bother Fitt and Rhule, it shouldn’t bother us. They know what they are doing.

I think by all reports and accounts that Rhule is the anti-Urban Meyer.

I'm confused by the lack of love for this trade so far. This is a straight up robbery. We traded a marginal journeyman out of a crowded skill position group and a third rounder for a top-ten talent who's only on the trade block because he doesn't get along with the most obviously unqualified NFL coach in recent memory. And we got a pick back! It's a massive win, this thread should just be gif reactions and pie

Been reading Jags forums. Most seem to think CJ was lacking in the motivational department or just straight up didn't want to be in Jacksonville. He was decent while there seems to be the sentiment. 

I think the man just needs to be 3-0 with a change of scenery.

No 2nd round pick. Now no 3rd round pick. How, exactly, are we fixing the OL next offseason?

first round? Trade? After this years draft, I'm all in on whatever Fitty-cent wants to do. It looks (I know it's early) like he hit on 11 out of 11 picks.

Right now Our D has the #7 and the #9 picks from 2020 and the #8 pick from 2021 (get well soon)! Not to mention a 2nd round safety that isn't too bad. Legion of Boom 2.0 ??

At this point I'd write it off as a toxic environment.  He's following the path of basically every other high value defensive pick in the organizations recent history.  Almost all of them were traded away and were/are stars for their new teams.  We just didn't have to give up a 1st to get this guy, which is fantastic.

Oh I'm pumped.  I love Henderson's talent and he fits this defense so, so well.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
