Because projections about NFL potential are never wrong?  Fwiw, they are wrong more often than they are right.  All that matters once the draft is over is how they perform on the field.  

 

 

Yeah I ain't a Pitt or Pickett fan so I don't have to pretend to want him to succeed. He was a very blah prospect and it will be fun to watch him play elsewhere. That is a guy I want to see us play against, not for.

The same NFL said Sam Darnold was the 3rd overall pick as well....

Sam was a better prospect and was still not good enough...

QBs just get pushed up the board, even if they shouldn't. Appears fair this year but it will be fun to see if one of these guys can be more than average

Thats not proving your point.  In fact its showing exactly why WIllis dropped.  His skill set, experience, etc is far below guys like Darnold coming out.   It doesnt matter if Darnold has busted its all about projection.  Darnold was a superior qb prospect coming out compared to willis

He was also suppose to be superior "prospect" to Lamar jackson. A guy like Willis or jackson tend to be hard to gauge how effect a offensive coordinator can use his skillet. He could easily outplay his draft position.

Burn Mileficent taking it back to first grade with the insults..... bro you wanted this guy at #6 lol just lol.

He still doesnt understand that willis isnt even that good of a prospect.  So many flaws.   But I am sure he will post the clip of him throwing into a trashcan again.

But he's so fast! Yeah no none of the QBs in this draft realistically had higher than a mid third round grade including Kenny Picket.

Your very child like I went to your profile and you have done nothing but poo everyone that spoke on willis that didn't think he was trash. I really can't talk to a person like you.

His profile doesn't really suit what we do here, though.

You want Willis to be a success in the NFL, there are two things that should happen:

One, as has been said many times, he needs to go to a team where he can sit for a year or so before having to start.

Two, he'd be better served going to a team that runs a big play, Coryell style offense that would take more of an advantage of what he does well.

A timing and rhythm offense isn't a good fit for him.

I agree. But on the filp side if you can make every throw and it's the second round or later I don't see a downside at all. You have your Left tackle, Tepper has given you the vote of confidence. I'm sure they are weighing the risk as we speak. Sadly, we don't have the assets to move up into the the early second round. 

I don't see how a team like the lions or seahawks pass on him in the second again.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
