Their number 1 corner from each draft.

Okudah went 3 last year to Detroit.

Ahhhh yes, you're right.  I forgot about Okudah.

Panthers take mental health seriously so I'm sure they're assign him a counselor the same way they assigned Chinn his own coach to get the best out of him, this is a win

Think of it as just using your draft picks early... and from that perspective, the Panthers are absolutely killing it...

This is actually a good way of looking at it.

Panthers have gotten good to great value for their 2022 draft picks.

Can't be mad about that.

Yup. We are using our picks on young talent.  Just young talent for a draft a year ago.

Also DJack looks much better this year on the outside, the kid Horn can follow guys into the slot like Marlin Humphrey in Balt or Charles Woodson used to do and shut poo down when he gets healthy lololol

Fitt is the goat man

If Fitterer is not named the NFL Executive of the Year in the off-season something is seriously wrong.

The fans are saying he didn't want to be there from day 1 and has "mental issues".

How many people "want" to be in Jacksonville?

IN ON EVERY DEAL

I absolutely loved CJ Henderson as a prospect and Matt Rhule and co. have done an outstanding job developing guy since they got here.

Sucks to give up another 2022 pick but Henderson is without a doubt, easily better than any 3rd rounder we could have drafted and he's still on his rookie contract.  We could potentially have an elite CB duo a year from now if Henderson lives up to his potential. 

This all but guarantees Jackson isn't being re-signed though, right?

We have 5 years of Horn (assuming we pick up the 5th yr), and we have 3 years of Henderson, now peep this, we only have to pay his base salary for 22, 23, and 24, in 25 he's eligible for a 5th year option. 

JAX is accountable for his guaranteed salary until that 5th year, so we have the money to extend Jackson, and have it end around this time and decide who to keep then.

I get it, but that is spent capital and using your potential capital.  Those are retrofit fixes for things this year, it doesn't help us at all with future needs such as OL.

I'm sorry but this is an absolutely ridiculous statement. How is it only for this year an not help our future needs? Henderson is 22 years old and a former #9 overall pick. Sam Darnold is 24 years old a a former #3 overall pick. We got young talented starters while only losing a 2nd, and 3rd. If you told anyone we got Sam Darnold and CJ Henderson for a 2nd and 3rd they would fall on the ground laughing. We can't worry about what we may miss in the second and third. Get talented starters when you can. You may not have paid any attention to this last draft but Fitterer and Rhule know what to do in the draft. They will wiggle around and get more picks. Now isn't the time to worry about draft picks. Thats what losing franchises worry about.

Is this an Urban Meyer effect, or did they indicate it was true last year too?

 

His reaction reminds me of when PJ Hairston thought he was drafted by the Miami Heat and then found out he was traded to Charlotte.

[electro's horse]

means two things to me

1. horn is done for the year, barring a playoff run comeback. good for him, whatever. feet are an injury you don't force things with. 

2. we're going more heavier sets. offensive line isn't gelling and arnold doesn't bring much as a blocker. Tremble's big night against houston doesn't hurt either. 

[45catfan]

If I remember correctly, him being a reluctant tackler kind of soured me on him coming out of the draft.  This scouting report backs that up:

C.J. Henderson College Scouting Report

Hopefully he has fixed some of these things.
