Every mock draft i do i trade back. When i stay and take someone at 6 it just doesnt feel like a win and there is no one at Qb available. Not picking again till the 4th is gonna suck.

Same. Doing a mock makes you realize that if we make a pick at #6 we essentially have a one player draft. One hopeful stud and a bunch of long shots.

The bulk of rosters are built with mid-round draft picks and having no second day picks really puts us behind the eight ball.

Jackson is inconsistent for sure, but he has played at a MUCH higher level than CJ Henderson. Henderson has looked like a flat out bust through two seasons. He's basically Darnold at CB. Pure trash for the most part but every now and then he'll make a play that flashes his talent, but it's likely fool's gold in that pan.

Wow - very bold to call him a bust after playing 13 total games when he has been a solid contributor at times when on the field.  He’s 23 with limited experience.  I’ll bet he outplays Jackson this season.

He is a top 10 pick that so far hasnt shown he is any thing close to a startable corner in the NFL.  In fact you can argue he is a liability on the field.

I still think Henderson has some potential, but the fact that we gave Jackson that contract shows our staff isn’t as confident. If they were they would roll with Horn and Henderson as out starting outside CBs and add some cheap vets to step in just in case. Jackson is a little streaky, but having Horn back should let him slide over the the #2 role or line up against the speedy WRs.

We have very different definitions of "solid". He was terrible last year.

When you're a former top 10 pick traded a year later for a 3rd you ARE a bust. We're trying to rehab him but year one of rehab resulted in quite the relapse.

Until proven otherwise Henderson is the same as he was in Jacksonville. So for those keeping score we've been rolled over by the Jets and the Jags in two boneheaded trades. What logical person would look at that and say anyone in this regime is doing great?

Ah yes the linebacker who didn't "fit in" with our culture while we hyped up Jermaine Carter. You need a good sense of humor to be a Panthers fan these days.

My bud is having a two day draft BBQ at his house with pool, outside kitchen etc.

Told em I’ll be there for the first 20 mins.

I can’t even enjoy draft day/weekend anymore.

Trading back is definitely the move. I’m hoping the Jets and Vikings fall in love with Sauce Gardner (I’ve heard both orgs love him and the jets might even take him at 4) and are offering competing offers to jump the giants. We could get the jets 10 and one of their 2nd (one was actually ours smh) and still get an outstanding player.

This would be a good move. Get a LT in the first & get your QB in the second. The QBs will fall.

So if Neal, Cross and Ikey are gone what then?  You are not as smart a person as Matt Rhule so I will leave coaching to him.  Easy to sit behind a computer and question everyone when you aren’t vested.

Lol no way all 3 tackles are gone

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
