Both Icky and Neal will not be gone if some takes a qb in the top 4, I would almost bet on it.

And if they are, then we would have the opportunity to get Hutchinson or Thibedeaux. I know I butchered his name, but whatever.  We are going to be in the position to draft a real game changer at a position of need regardless of where it is.  Thats the beauty of having a shitty roster!  Holes to be filled everywhere!

Maybe.  Fields fell to 11, Jones to 15, Herbert to 6, Hurts to 53, Josh Allen to 7, Lamar Jackson to 32, Mahomes to 10, Watson to 12, Prescott 135.

Tough to predict.  We need the picks, and I'd put them all on the  shelf together.

You listed 9 QB's in your post. Only three of them were picked after pick #12: Jackson, Hurts, and Prescott. Jackson fell a little further than expected but still went in round one.. I don't think anyone thought Jalen Hurts was a 1st round talent. I'll be honest, I never even heard of Dak Prescott until the Cowboys drafted him. 

I'm not saying we should take a QB. But, if we do we need to make sure we get the guy we want. Don't leave anything to chance. Other teams try to manipulate the draft board as well. It only takes one GM to mess up our entire draft strategy. Somebody else may want the guy we want.

True Story: the Cowboys needed a WR to replace Drew Pearson after his near fatal car accident prior to the 1984 season. Jerry Rice was the guy they were targeting. Bill Walsh had 3 receivers we wanted prior to the 1985 draft (Al Toon, Eddie Brown, and Jerry Rice). The Jets took Toon first. The Bengal wanted Eddie Brown, but Sam Wyche was willing to trade down with SF for a 1 and a 3. Walsh was willing to part with a 1 and a 4. Sam took Eddie Brown. Walsh knew Dallas wanted Rice so they traded up 1 spot ahead of Dallas and took Rice. Imagine how much different history would have been SF hadn't made that trade.

I agree.  My point was those QB's are considered better than this current crop and they fell out of the top 5.

I'm guessing at least one of this crop will be available bottom of the first, top of the second.  That said, I agree with you, if you know there is THE guy, you do what you have to, to get him.

If he goes to the right team in 2 years we’ll be saying that Corral’s comp is Patrick Mahomes. There is a reason Willis has a giant arm. He’s been in the weight room. He’s jacked through the shoulders and in his butt/quads. Corral for whatever reason hasn’t done that but he will in the league. He’s going to put on 15lbs and be the best of the bunch. I bet we stay put and go with Pickett bc he’s more “pro ready.” But if there’s a chance we can trade down and get corral we should. If Willis is going too 5 let someone else have him. No way In hell I’m giving up capital to go get a project. Recoup capital and trade down for a project? Sure. Trade up? Nope.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By CarolinaLivin · Posted

      The #Panthers explored the possibility of adding Jaire Alexander, but there was never an offer made, a league source told @theobserver.   https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1935436577649401872?s=46

      Young, been named Top Riser for 2025

      Yes I agree, the future RT could easily be christ. When he shocking re-signed here for the cheap, he said part of the reason was the OL coaching staff.  I've already thought too much about 2026. The RT has all the options, including resigning Motown. I was never a big fan, but he's solid and peptides and stem cells can fix a gippy knee. If he makes it though this year and wants to return, why not for 2 years 16 million?? Or like you said give the job to Christ or draft your RT...... that I feel is the best current method. With both OGs in the 20 million per cap range and Icky......ooooooooooo boy he could be the first 30 million per OLmen in NFL history. That's a huge portion of cap space for the OL, which I agree with, but in order to offset those 20 and 30 million deals... you need cheap rookie contracts. (unless Motown would take a huge pay cut and whoever the C will be).  This is the deepest OL I can recall in Panthers history.  I believe Morgan should try and trade either Kingston or Zavala.  I didn't even talk about Yosh, Tarquin, or Walton. Yosh is same age as christ and why not him as RT after good swing tackle years? Tarquin is a UDFA on the prayer program, 150,000 in guarantees and why not him in 2026? Walton seems to be a OL coach favorite, he followed the Tampa Bay staff here after 2 years there and add in one year here, he's stuck around for some reason. I think they need to spend very light on RT and Panthers have lots of options, I love it.
