So, I got to watch this guy today live and he was matched up quite a bit with Chandler Jones. Largely won those reps from what I saw.

Not to mention he was such a high energy and positive presence all game long. Took the the time to high five every special teams player when he was coming on the field. Was a visibly positive and upbeat player all game long. 

I can't express how much that hurt to see knowing what could have been. 

Love Horn to death but....damn.

He would have been the pick. Definitely a great player. Unfortunately Horn was a bust this year with his foot injury.

Horn is an excellent player.

Organizations that build their teams from the edge-in instead of from the interior-out are easy to spot at the highest levels of football though.

Because they lose.

A lot.

Can you hit us with the gif one time before you go..I know you got it on deck

2 years in a row our pick was picked one spot before us. Imagine Herbert and Sewell… goddamn.

It's OK. IF we had drafted him, Rhule would be throwing him under the bus saying he held his block too long.

His arms would probably be too short to play LT and his weight three pounds over what Rhule arbitrarily decides where it needs to be for him to have the necessary endurance. Keep trotting out the scrub ass vets.

    • 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.
