I dont hate it. The guys at the top of the draft are exciting but never a sure thing. Also, if we draft a QB in the first round I'll buy the jersey and be their #1 fan.

Im so tired of the negativity here. I'll drink the cool-aid on any player we draft. LFG!!

We need more people like you around here. I’m on the same boat.  I have my preferences but will root for whoever is chosen.

Here is my plan for the Panthers draft in the first round. Unless one the top three tackles are there then trade back. You can still probably get Cross or Neal at 10. If they trade back to the early /mid teens select Kenyon Green from Texas AM. You would have a 10-15 year pro at the guard spot. The O-line will look like this: LT Christensen LG Green C Bozeman RG Corbett RT Moten..That is a stout oline that will be great for years to come. Please don't flame me too bad Panther fans..

Person has us trading down with the Eagles and selecting Kenny Pickett.

15. Carolina Panthers (from MIA via PHI*): Kenny Pickett, QB, Pittsburgh

Joe Person: With the top three tackles off the board, the Panthers were able to trade back and potentially find a middle ground among what is said to be some differing opinions in the Carolina front office. Matt Rhule gets the most pro-ready QB in what looks like a win-now year for the former college coach (who had a commitment from Pickett at Temple). And with the 51st pick, GM Scott Fitterer should be able to get an offensive tackle with upside (like Bernhard Raimann or Tyler Smith) or a second-day center or linebacker. And David Tepper gets a QB from his alma mater. And though Fitterer and Rhule checked out Pickett’s small hands during his pro day, he’ll be playing in a warm-weather city in a division where the other teams either play indoors or in Florida.

FYI: In this scenario, we also get pick #51 to use on an offensive lineman. The Eagles take Georgia pass rusher Travon Walker at the #6 pick.

I don't want this pick, but I think that's where we are going to go. I'd rather see an OT (if available) or trade back and take Linderbaum. But you look at the number of Temple and Baylor guys that Rhule has brought here and see the connections with Pickett, and it just seems like this is a done deal. Will they trade back in hopes of getting him or will they pull the trigger at #6?

So in two years with limited picks we take three guards (Christensen and Brown) and have a gaping hole at LT? That is not smart.

Christensen natural position is LT. You can play him there or sign one of the vet LT free agents available...The Panthers need to get stronger up the middle. With Green,Bozeman and Corbett that would be fearsome. Plus the ability to run the football would be improved greatly. You build your football team first by establishing both lines.

      Seattle was a run heavy team

      By Navy_football · Posted

      No it isn't. 😅😅😅 If someone says he can't throw X many yards because he didn't do it last year, but he threw it X plus 10 yards in college, that shows he can. He may not have done it in Carolina, but that doesn't mean he can't do it. There is a real possibility that there were extenuating circumstances. These definitive but inaccurate statements are also known as hot takes or gross exaggerations.

      Mingo stat. Lost yards on uncatchable balls

      By Wundrbread33 · Posted

      Thanks for posting this. I don’t know how many of you guys also visit the Reddit panther sub, but damn Mingo catches so much poo in there, and Bryce gets every excuse.    Seems like inconsistent logic to me that Bryce gets a pass for the team dysfunction, but Mingo is just a bust.   I saw inconsistent tape from Mingo, but he had plenty of examples of good route running…showing me he can do it.   He was a rookie, and naturally was inconsistent with it. I don’t think we are dealing with Dwayne Jarrett here. I look forward to seeing him develop more consistency…and I hope Bryce can get him the ball if he does.

      my thing is, we have seen lots of good QBs play behind really bad OLs at times.  And yes, bad OLs impact everything.  But those good QBs, still have lots of moments showing how good they are behind bad OLs.  And frankly, a bad OL has never made any of them what we were last year.   Heck, many of them go to the playoffs with bad OL play.   That's my Bryce issue.  He didn't have really any moments that a #1 overall pick should of had.  Bad OL play included.     But I concede, Bryce was setup to fail.  And fail he did.  But if he was special, I still think that still has it's moments no matter what.
