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

      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.
