In other words, do what they should have already done. Now we're two years into a rebuild with a bum coach and no end in sight

Yeah...drafting someone this year, regardless of who they were, likely wouldn't have worked out any better.

You have to be able to protect the qb and this line can't.

If they'd play Brown and Christensen at their natural positions and see what they had there we'd possibly be closer to fixing it, but, Rhulevera has to play the vets because...vets.

Why would any QB want to come here. With the state of our OLine, it's not even about winning championships or not. It's about not wanting your body to get beat to hell and needing a cane to stumble your cripple ass around at the age of 45.

No kidding.  We will have to draft a QB because anyone with the power to choose will not want to  play behind a line as weak as we keep putting on the field.

Absolutely…and the bad thing is if we draft a QB, how are we going to invest in the line? We have no draft picks and we could tell from this past offseason that you have to pay crazy money to even get scrub level talent like Elf who is graded as The worst pass blocking center in the league.

I don't like the either / or approach and see it as more of all of the above. We need to cleanout the deadweight on the roster, figure out as much Cap mitigation as possible and try to do it all even though we won't be able to pull that off. If a good QB is there, pull the trigger. If a LT is there pull the trigger. If we can trade back and draft 3 interior Olinemen pull the trigger. Nothing will be perfect, take best value and see what's next we can do. QB is top of the value chart when you don't have one. I would also be fine not playing them immediately. 

I'm only worried about more poor talent evaluations and making picks ignoring positional value and need.

If this is an example of what we're to expect from Rhule in the future, Tepper would do well to cut ties with Matt in the coming weeks.  No way Panthers can afford such a reckless individual to have the keys to the kingdom.  Rhule will ruin this franchise for years if he is retained for 2022.

I agree 100% with your assessment of the inept,dude of a coach, Rhule.  However, we need look no further than Tepper himself as the man responsible for approving  these type actions that are putting the Panthers building plans in complete reverse.

      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.
