I can dream…you are probably right there

I think the only way we see the 2nd round is via our 1st round pick in this draft or going to our 2023 picks.  Might could get in without our first but it would take a couple picks.

I agree…Fitty specifically said he wasn’t interested in trade future picks but that is questionable given the Watson pursuit.

Which they have been noticeably silent on throughout the entire fiasco.  I guess we will learn the details surrounding that after Watson retires.

If we draft Pickett at 6, I’ll buy a Josh Allen jersey and start slamming myself through a table every Sunday. 

Speaking of Josh Allen, Cole Kelley is Allen like. Big body, knows how to use it, big arm.

Much better stats than Pickett in his own five year career. Goal line threat. Short yardage threat. Massive body.

I'd be soooooo happy if even Cole Kelley was the next Panthers QB. At least his upside has a huge physical upside.

Last QB from Louisiana got us to the Superbowl. I'd take a serious look.

    • 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.
