I do wonder if Rhule was pounding the table for Pickett and was overrode, then had to slowly see no team interested until 20.

I dont think he was ever especially interested in Pickett.  I think that was all smokescreen and people hated the idea of Pickett so they wanted to believe it was true because they hate Rhule.

He also said they would be completely fine if they walked away with the first two days being Ickey and CJ Henderson - because they view him as our third round pick this year.

Henderson very well may shock people next year. He has talent like Horn.

Ppl the QB in this draft weren't good.. This has been proven over and over and over again this offseason..

Teams trading big bags for retreads.. Players like Winston, Mariota and Trubisky getting multi year deals..

Culminating with only 1 QB taken in the 1st round..

Its clear that like all the scouts was saying that this isn't a good QB class..

If we give any assets tomorrow to draft a career backup or a developmental project.. We made a mistake..

I am actually fine with staying put and waiting till the 4th because I truly do not see any QBs (except maybe Willis) getting drafted in the next two rounds. I think most teams will have a similar mindset that, given how weak this QB class is, that they could actually get better value out of the QBs later in the draft or next year.

Spending a 4th on QB is a lot less Riskier than moving up in into the 2nd and losing more draft capital. 

We'll see what happens but I fully expect one of those QBs to be there by the time we pick in the 4th.

I can almost guarantee that one or more of the Corral/Ridder/Howell/Strong grouping will be there in the 4th. Only three teams are looking for a developmental QB in that range and we’re one of them. My guess is Seattle goes Malik in the 2nd and Detroit takes Ridder or Corral in the third (if they have a pick left from that trade). I think Tampa and the Giants are happy with their QB room and the Saints can’t afford to take one with their holes and money already spent. Atlanta is a possibility but they have way too many holes and like Mariota

Not gonna lie, seeing how he looked at the presser tonight combined with how they've tried to hide him all offseason, its really starting to look that way to me.

Either that or truly humbled by the reality that he's not what he thought he was, as made aware to him from us and the national media. Fitt seems comfortable taking the lead though

      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.
