James Daniels is the guy I would pursue.  Cappa will not be leaving TB.  Jensen is a ginger goof.  Fisher, Armstead and Scherrf are expensive like a Faberge´  egg and as fragile.  Laken and Orlando are gonna be out of out price range. The trick is to draft and develop our own offensive lineman.  All of the players on this list started out as rookies. Some had high draft status, but some were found in mid rounds or even undrafted ( Norwell) We actually can start by developing BC.  Pick up a high quality free agent  LG like James Daniels to pair beside him and in the draft look for other olineman to develop. This is a strong class.  No more retread lineman or QB's.

I’m all about Brad Bozeman. Think he’s a realistic target and fits our offensive scheme.

I would absolutely love this. I believe center will be a huge position for us to fill, and I cringe thinking about Elf starting half the games for us before playing like hot garbage and being injured. Finding a decent FA G won’t be that hard…maybe even the draft, but center has to be addressed and I don’t see another situation in the draft where we can get a starter unless we trade back and get lucky. Bozeman would be a great pickup

Big AF southern boy, Alabama roots, think he’d enjoy playing and living in Charlotte too. Can rock it at C and play emergency guard.  Like him better than Ben Jones.

He’s my ideal pickup. Draft a LT high. Then the focus is at LG and RG. Maybe that’s Brady and Deonte, maybe someone else but that’s the way I tackle this.

Realistically, we have 2 decent FA signings available if we want to get a for sure contributor this year. Bozeman at C/G and Anthony Walker Jr at LB are my 2 fave targets to set this team up.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
