From The Athletic...

Quote

 

the Panthers cut defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon, a 2021 fifth-round pick who had a season-ending knee surgery as a rookie. It seemed like a quick hook for a guy who was the Big Ten’s defensive player of the year in 2020.

But with six defensive tackles on the roster, someone had to go. And the Panthers valued undrafted rookie Marquan McCall and 2021 seventh-rounder Phil Hoskins over Nixon.

“You have to make tough decisions,” Rhule said. “Daviyon’s obviously a person we drafted, had the tough injury last year. Coming into this year, we couldn’t go in with that many defensive linemen. We’ve been happy with McCall and Hoskins.”

 

 

So apparently Rhule likes some of the undrafted guys more than Nixon.

They drafted a player, he got injured and he can't even get a practice squad spot after one year? Then amongst each other they feel he didn't have the skill to play NFL Football. And he was cut to keep Hoskins? Make it make sense. 

 

He probably has a shitty work ethic and/or personality and this was the polite way of putting it

A lot of these kids have no idea how to work or act in a professional setting, just because they are in the NFL doesn't mean they are suddenly mature. Watch any season of hard knocks and you'll see players that don't get it, at all. 

It's simple... Nixon got outworked by McCall and Hoskins, no need to keep the dead weight for a backup player

This scene contradicts an earlier scene when he struggled to read the word "The".  Remember, T--tuh--th-- The!  Yet he reads this headline quickly.  I hope that ruins the movie for some of you--that is what I do.

It makes sense if you watched the games.

Great summary.  Now do Hamlet.  😉

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
