Most fans would rather have a few meaningless wins than try to build to get back to the superbowl 

If there was another Mahomes in the draft, our fans would still want to win 

I guess we really are not football smart 

And he was selected 10th overall. So what is your point if we fall a few spots?

I hate to say it, but if you want to win every week, you are following the wrong team. Ever since Cam got lit up and his shoulder officially died, we are 20-49. We are 0-4 against good teams and 4-4 against bad teams. We are squarely in the mediocre to bad teams.

I’m switching to playoff rooting because I think we do have a shot after all the losses today, especially considering 7-10 could win this division. We have 1 good team left on the schedule so we aren’t in line for a top 5 pick.

Truth bomb

We're stuck in quarterback purgatory. A lot of posters said this would happen, just as it has, years ago.

We can only get lucky now, and it might take years. This is bad news considering the league is transitioning from the quaterback era to one where there will be possibly 20 teams seriously looking at quarterbacks every year. It's going to be much harder to get lucky.


Yup. Finding that elite QB was always going to be luck. It always is. I really think we’ll be in QB purgatory for a long time. Most teams are.

Mahomes - 10th overall pick

Watson - 12th overall pick

Josh Allen - 7th overall pick

Justin Herbert - 6th overall pick

Lamar Jackson - 32nd overall pick

Jalen Hurts - 53rd overall pick

 

Would I prefer a top 2 pick to have our choice of QB prospects? Sure. But let's not act like it's the be all end all to getting out of QB hell. Hell, look at the litany of QBs in the past few drafts that went in the top 5:

Darnold

Mayfield

Trubisky

Goff

Trey Lance

Zach Wilson

For every Joe Burrow or Cam Newton at #1 overall, there's a Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff out there.

You know how people keep bringing up how that early pick on a QB isn't a guarantee?

You know how people keep bringing up how we had an opportunity to draft Fields?

The less teams in front of you the better. It's all about the math. The "results" are unknown for every player drafted in every round. You want the widest selection possible without having to trade up.

It's quite simple.

Justin Fields went 11th overall my guy.

edit: and everyone was saying he was a bust until about 3-4 weeks ago.

That makes literally no sense.

Right, cause tanking and getting all these QBs over the years in the top 5 worked for Cleveland, Detroit, NYJ, etc. 

There is no Luck, Newton, or Mahomes in this draft. 

Wanting to lose is such a weak mentality. You’re gonna lose out and piss of the players and run away potential Free Agents to draft the next Brady Quinn, Zach Wilson, or Dwayne Haskins. 
 

You want to win, change the culture, win on Sundays, attract FAs, keep your players happy, and take BPA. 
 

Get that loser mentality poo out of here.

Yes it worked so well for the Jets, Lions, and Browns all those years. God you’re so right.

    • awesome interview. Love the guy. 
    • 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.
