I prefer matt corral personally

Im in the "no one" zone, until mid-second at the earliest. By that time feels like Mr. Upside would be the best dart. These "top" QBs feel like career backups/Rosen vibes, stay away if your team has smarts......sadly...well you know.

I do like spending a 5th-7th dart for a lottto ticket, hell he just has to beat out walker. Add a upside Vet and go to battle..

Only Fitts can save the org from these bad choices and I’m not sure he has the power.

How is Fitts going to save the team from itself? Either he's a yes man with no power, or he's part of the problem based off the trades and free agents that has been made since he's joined the team.

Was replying directly to points about age and not doing anything in college until year 5, both of which are the same with Burrow and Pickett. Obviously Burrow was a much better prospect.

Burrow didn’t start for 4 years like Pickett. 

He started for 2.  One being the greatest O in NCAA history that brought home a Natty out of the SEC. 

I mean the high for both was year 5.  But the highs aren’t even in the same solar system.   Pickett isn’t even one of the best ACC QBs in the last decade.

It's weird we have this report now. This entire week has been reports of teams cooling on Pickett. 

You may think it's weird, but it makes perfect sense for Tepper's Panthers. Tepper and his brain trust think they are smarter than everyone else, so this works for them.

Joking aside, I still think they take Howell if they go QB at 6. Howell ticks that UNC box that Tepper can use to sell more merch.

    • 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.
