The Panthers have begun a busy week hosting quarterbacks being considered for the upcoming draft. Those scheduled to come to Charlotte are Liberty's Malik Willis, Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett, Mississippi's Matt Corral, Cincinnati's Desmond Ridder, North Carolina's Sam Howell, Western Kentucky's Bailey Zappe and Nevada's Carson Strong. Two of the first three are considered potential candidates for the No. 6 pick. The team also is hosting the top three tackles this week and next.

If they don't go qb they better worry about breathing trouble from all the smoke.

Yes!  I like to see that we are looking at RBs.  Why?  I'm not sold on Hubbard.  CMC could get hurt at any time and Foreman is likely a one-year rental.  It wouldn't shock me if CMC stays healthy this year that the Panthers may offload him (his contract mainly) before the 2023 season.  Teams need to see he can play an entire season first before any realistic trade.  Without drafting a RB (or another FA) that would leave Hubbard as the #1 entering 2023 given the chips falls that way, which is unacceptable.

I really think that they would ideally like to trade down to get more picks to make up for the lack of a 2nd or 3rd round pick and take a QB later than 6th.

I just wonder what happens if someone trades up to take a QB in front of them? Would they stick to their guns and still trade back or would they panic?

It sure smells that way.

Agreed. Honestly, taking a RB doesn't make sense otherwise. It would be difficult for a rookie to make the roster with CMC, Foreman, and Hubbard already here and given our lack of draft capital we need to be taking guys who we are very comfortable can make the 53 even with our late rounders.

These RBs could be there with our 4th rounder.  Mid-rounds is where the value is this draft for RBs.  Even if we had our 2nd and 3rd rounder, I wouldn't be for drafting a RB with either of them.

      Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.

      Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying

      I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
