If the Texans acquire Brian Burns the "official hype man" of the Panthers gonna go with him to Houston. 

Tepper should have gone with our own grass roots @RoaringRiot and reward him for making real headway into improving our culture instead of a dudes brother who just jumped on board.

I'm good with houston getting whatever player they want as long as it result in said player counting as a 1st round pick.  If were getting Watson, we need picks to rebuild the Oline.  A Defense is easier to build through free agency than an offense.

Rebuild the line? I think we need to retool it now that we have the right side fixed.

Idk...  we had the report earlier in the offseason, iirc, that Burns was the one untouchable on our roster.

Also, I've repeatedly said all over these threads, no matter the picks it takes, we should use whatever we have to keep Chinn and Burns, and I maintain that...  but if it comes down to it, the golden rule in the NFL is hierarchy of importance to a team is QB, pass rushers, and franchise tackles (typically LTs) - So, going off that, if theybhave to pick between giving them Chinn and Burns, it's likely Chinn they give up.  But, it's likely HOU wants Burns more.  Hence the compromise of trades, but F them...  they can find their own players with the bevy of picks we're giving them.  So again, I reiterate, if at all possible, we need to bribe them with picks to keep Burns and Chinn here.

    • 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.
