I wouldn’t want number 1 in this draft. 3 or 4  maybe…. But 1 is overkill. 

We are in a never-ending circle jerk of thinking we are way better than we are and should never leverage a lot of picks for one player. 

I have a rude awakening for you - 3 or 4 probably means we miss both Young or Stroud and we are back in the same repetitive cycle of wondering why we're always hovering around .500 at best (yes, I know you can't get to exactly .500 anymore). 

We. Go. Nowhere. Without. Franchise. QB. 

I do not understand how half this board continues to become disillusioned to that. 

Do whatever we must in order to get that QB and everything will start trending in the right direction.

Teddy had his best play here. Darnold had his best play here. Mayfield was the only one who didn't. DJ has put up good stats despite trash at QB. It baffles me how much of this fanbase doesn't comprehend this.

 

Technically Darnold had his worst and best years here. Mayfield had his worst. 

I keep forgetting that Teddy put up numbers but still lost. That one gets me every time.

This place is bananas. We had the PERFECT chance to have the resources to trade up with little harm to our future ... but we didn't do it. Instead, we traded away our best player for peanuts. We also had the perfect chance to just let things fall as the may and we could have drafted at the top of the pile and had to give up nothing. But now? Now some of you actually want to trade away future for a top pick?

Yeah, the organization was too scared to fully tank, and of course the interim staff did just enough to screw the team out of a high pick because he knew he wouldn’t get the job anyways

How about Burns, Moore, and 1 first?

I'm on board with this. I actually think Burns and Moore with a couple 2nds gets it done. 

Truth is, given their capspace, Burns could end up there sooner than later anyway like other Panthers (Peppers, Moose) and they have NO defense...so he may as well help cover the cost to get #1.

While I think that would do it I don’t know if the Bears would want to have to pay both Burns and Moore their contracts. I think in that scenario they would be hoping to get Payne and Hargraves still as well. That would add about 30+ sacks of productivity to their defensive line last year. And it’s a team that only had 20 sacks as a team. Worst in the NFL. I think that transforms the defense and they would still have about 60 million left to spend on other free agents. And they would still need one more offensive linemen. 
 

Their secondary is young and good. Sanborn played better for the Bears at LB this year than Smith did. This new dline would give them a major overhaul. 
 

Adding Moore allows Mooney to go back to being a #2 where he excels and Claypool can go dominate in the slot. Kmet has emerged as a good pass catching TE. 
 

Their offensive line would be a pass blocking question mark but at 9 they could get a top offensive lineman. Or they could draft Johnston and let Mooney walk after next season. 
 

But they have 60 million left or so and they would have the ability to add to pieces to an offensive line that has good young talent in Jones and Jenkins. They can upgrade at RT, C and LG in free agency or the draft. 
 

And don’t forget, despite the poo roster they were in almost every game. It’s got the makings of being a 2023 Jags. First pick to a playoff spot. 
 

I don’t think the Panthers want to part with DJ Moore or Brian Burns. 
 

And here is the scary part… if CJ Stroud doesn’t declare for the draft it’s going to make the Bears pick even more expensive because Bryce Young is the only top tier QB in the draft at that point.

When you have a good QB but no one to throw to, no one to block and no DL pressure, you pick No. 1 in the draft. Ask Chicago.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.

      We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.

      I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
