Lol examine them all you want. This guy took a CB over a franchise LT. That is  a lack of skill and understanding of positional value. HAHAHA 

I don’t think Slater is a franchise LT.  He was good last year but he is no Munoz

He is probably better than Icky which is interesting.  Definitely was more proven at this point last year

I don’t think there is another poster on this forum that has less knowledge of football than you.  Why don’t you tell us what you would do genius

You suggest passing on a LT in order to take a QB to be so bad we get a high draft pick? 

You need to go outside and get some air. 

It's worked before. Your best bet of landing a legit QB is with a VERY high first round draft pick. So yeah, if #6 overall could get us either a good LT or a spectacularly bad QB, I'll go with option B. We're still a 6-7 win roster with a good LT. That'll be good for a pick in the lower half of the top 10 again. And likely watching those QBs we covet go just out of reach. Again.

Oh it’s an elaborate “tank” on purpose to get Rhule fired and land the top pick to get Stroud. Why go through all of that? If that’s Tepper’s plan he should just fire Rhule now…

Stroud is absolutely the guy next draft but no way in hell we know if we are even possibly in a position to take him.  Just tired of people shooting down every option with no clear idea of reality.

We just lost key contributors off an already mediocre defense and we still have Sam Darnold penciled in at starter. Not so sure #1 overall in '23 isn't well within reach.

No it isn’t…but we can’t bank on it.  This QB deal is depressing man

      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.

      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.
