If you were hoping for Armstead or another FA LT, Jonathan Alexander says slow down

NOW they feel like Christensen is a LT? Did his arms finally grow 0.05 of an inch? Jesus Christ the goal line keeps moving for this team.

I think Rhule was told to let the arm thing go. He wants to 3-D print what each position player should look like and it doesn't work like that.

AND, when he finally did get around to starting him at LT the last few games, BC plated the position well. Hell, even Rhule admitted his fug-up,  https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/03/03/panthers-hc-matt-rhule-brady-christensen-lt-combine/

I haven't seen enough to say Christensen is the long term answer at LT, but I feel that he starts there or at LG this year, and finds success.

If they really like Christensen at LT then trade down with Pittsburgh who is rumored to still like Malik Willis and pick up an extra 2nd and 3rd in the process.

Draft Zion Johnson in the first and add Bozeman in free agency.

Christensen - Johnson - Bozeman - Corbett - Moton 

They can keep their second, I'd give them #6 for #20, #84, and bring Alex Highsmith home to NC.

Basically this is my worst case scenario 

Been my gut feeling for awhile but now that they’ve changed their opinion on Christensen it almost seems too obvious. Just imagine how we’ll feel if we leave another franchise LT on the board just to appease the ego of a lame duck coach.

I don’t completely hate a QB at 6 but not Pickett.  Still see a trade down as a serious possibility.  Recouping picks would be nice especially if we don’t move down very far.

Those kinds of players want to play on teams that have quarterbacks 

This is a business not a youth club soccer team. Those kind of guys go to whoever pays them the most amount of money in a city they wouldn’t mind raising their kids

    • 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.
