I like CMC (non-Panthers fan), but just don't believe in using a first round pick on a RB. Look at Jaguars, they got James Robinson as an UDFA, and he's a really good RB on a cheap contract. 

Most people here love cmc, myself included but here in panther land our fanbase is beyond dumb about runningbacks. Never draft one in the top 10 and never give them a second contract. It’s almost never worth it. Cmcs best season, his 1k rushing 1k receiving we won like 5 games. They don’t impact games enough to justify that draft spot or contract and their bodies breakdown quick.

Watsons legal troubles will keep him off the field for 2 yrs

and his contracts handcuffs any team for years

no no no

So you destroy a teams ability to put together a winning franchise by gutting your draft picks. Hell no. Rebuild the OLine in the draft and FA, get McCaffrey healthy and roll with it. 

As great as CMC, he's an RB. Short shelf life.

You don't build a team around a player at a position that has a short shelf life, regardless of how incredible they are.

CMC is what he is right now. If he's not injured, it won't be long before he is again.

    • 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.
