With recent rumblings about TMJ's availability, this could happen.

I was super high on Denzel Mims coming out of college. The dude is talented, don't let that Baylor association make you assume otherwise.

but it brings us back to the Jets just couldn't get it out of him but Matt Rhule totally can argument.

Forgive me for not wanting any more Baylor or Temple players. Rhule has been shown to "favorite" them at the detriment of the team.

That might be the one trade I would be okay with.

I dunno. Mims has issues with coaching. They wanted him to learn all the receiver positions and he basically refused and they barely played him. He would have the same issues here.

tmj can’t stay healthy but is a great guy and a hard worker. Just sucks. He was my favorite pick of that draft.

I'd probably rather gamble on a guy eventually maturing rather than a guy who just isn't capable of staying healthy.

In my worthless opinion TMJ is more talented than Mims

Now one’s best ability is their availability but Mims has also had issues with missing time if I’m not mistaken

you can find it cutting both ways..   But you could really argue it might be heart more than maturity with Mims.  I mean, you don't want to learn the positions and you play WR?

The Panthers asked TMJ to learn all the positions as well which is why we didn’t see a lot of him his rookie year 

Mims would have to learn them all here as well given DJ ain’t going anywhere any time soon

    • 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.
