You’re Matt Rhule…. What are you doing?

Seriously I mortgage the future, if it works I look like a genius, if not I won’t be here to suffer…

That’s what I think he will do, it’s also why he should have been fired. He is going to do whatever it takes to save his job, I don’t think he will draft a qb in the first bc of that as well. He doesn’t have time to develop him and can’t accept rookie mistakes that costs games. I think he’s going to trade picks for a veteran or just roll with Sam. It sucks and I hope I’m wrong.

I say fug it and draft Malik Willis at 6, go with Moton and Christensen at the tackle positions, keep Elflein at center as he seemed like the least horrible option of the motley crew we played there in 2021, start Brown at one of the guard positions, and then dumpster dive for another guard.  Willis hasn't had his head caved in like Darnold yet and would be an injection of excitement which might save my job so I can fug it all up next year as is Panther tradition.

That's pretty much what I would do as well, but Rhule is so petty and insecure he probably sees Willis as someone who will potentially overshadow him.

Try to get Fitt to sign James Daniels this off-season, suring up a guard spot with a guy who can also play center. Could also target Connor Williams. Goal being to secure IOL help with a young free agent. 
 

Trade back and draft Howell later in the first. 
 

Use 2nd or 3rd rounder acquired in trade back on WR. I know it doesn’t seem like a need right now, but I need leverage for upcoming DJ Moore contract talks. Need to be comfortable enough to trade him for assets if he wants too much $. Remember, we’re likely moving on from Anderson after next year.
 

Use all other picks on BPA while trying to target OL/MLB/S in that order. 

QB: Darnold/Howell (until mid season) - gives us best chance at drumming up trade interest for Darnold, which is currently near zero, while allowing Howell time to get acclimated. We’re not challenging next year so prep for a playoff push in 2023.

OL: Christensen/Daniels/Elf/Brown or rookie/Moton

WR: DJ/RA/TMJ or 2nd/3rd round rookie —-> This room could look a lot different the following year. 

Defense: Stays mostly in tact except we add a MLB or S (or both) from the draft. Luvu is resigned to play OLB. Plenty of options in secondary. 
 

Try to convince Tepper and Fitt that we’re setting up for years of playoff runs starting in 2023.

I’m laughing at the huddle meltdown over my supposed cluelessness. Because I know 10x more football than any dipshit, overweight, BBQ eating fug on here. 

And that knowledge, and perhaps more importantly the way he has chosen to act on said knowledge, is pretty much the sole reason the team is in the current state it's in. Soooo... yeah.

yep.... Willis would be my pick... quick, good arm strength and mobile ...cause he'll need to run...closest thing to Watson as you can get...imo.

    • 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.
