I wouldn't hate it, but I'd rather take a DE or a CB.  If we are taking a WR there I'd prefer an outside guy or at least a guy who can play on the outside. I'm a huge UNC fan so I love Downs but the knock on him as an NFL prospect is that he's a slot only guy. That's why I don't buy the borderline 1st round talk. I think he probably ends up going somewhere between the mid-2nd and mid-3rd.

We do have DJax and Horn coming back granted they are always injured, but I think that keeps CB from being an early round pick. DE is a huge need though…

I don't think you can put a lot of stock on D-Jax's comeback. Achilles injuries have derailed a lot better players than him. That's a tough one to comeback from and a lot of guys are just a shadow of themselves afterwards

What if Stroud falls to us? Would you roll with him?

Fell?  Yes, but we both know that happen and I am 100% AGAINST trading up.  We finally built up some draft capital just to piss it away.  He's the one QB I would be okay with drafting this year in the first round.

It could happen. Teams could fall in love with Levis or Richardson (especially after the underwear Olympics) and he could fall like Fields did.

Yeah, I thought there was no chance Fields would be there. Then he was. Then we didn't pick him. And I'm still pissed about it.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
