The epiphany should be that you need an amazing tight end to compete in the league.

2015 - Panthers had Olsen and Broncos had Julias (or whatever his name was)

2016 - Don't remember who played

2017- Don't remember who played

All I know is that the 49ers have Kittle, the Panthers had Olsen (and no receivers), the Chiefs have Kelce, the Eagles have Goedert, the Cowboys have Schultz, the Bucs/Patriots had Gronk.

If we take a QB, we have to draft a tight end.

You want to know whose next in line to take a leap? The Falcons. Why? Because they have solid receivers, a guy who will probably be the best test end in football, and all they are missing is a QB.

Put money on it.

You had me until the Falcons. I can’t name one of their receivers… and Pitts is looking like the biggest bust in his class lol.

I have been trying to dissuade myself from thinking the QB of the future has to be drafted this year. Yes, next year will have more sexy options in Drake Maye and Caleb Williams but there is one QB in this draft I hate to say has really been growing on me. I feel CJ Stroud could be great if drafted in the right situation and I think the Panthers finally have the staff to make that move. If we have to trade a future first and second so be it. Everything I have seen from him the last two years being a Michigan fan and how he guided his team to almost beating UGA really shows me how poised and un fazed by pressure he is. Really delving deep into every break down only shows issues with his game that can be course correct by coaching. You cannot teach his ability to stay calm under pressure or his athletic ability he uses when needed rather than rproperly progressing through his options. I have yet to see him be the sole reason his team has lost a game in any film I have watched. I just have a feeling that he could be what finally gets us over the top and I hope trading up to 1-3 nets us him no matter the cost. 

No trade...if he falls to 9 then fine.

I want whichever QB that Reich believes can execute the type of offense he believes will lead us to a super bowl. The rest of it is just fans being fans. 

With the staff building being what it has been, I have total faith in Reich until he proves that I'm foolish to do so.

I fundamentally agree with you, but Reich and company will have to really believe in the QB and not just draft one for the sake of drafting one (which IMO is what some seem to be suggesting). Moreover, Reich, just like most, will have to earn most fans' faith in him. Sure, he'll get a certain degree of patience and understanding, but until he proves his worth, he's just another coach that Panthers fans hope is better than what we've had for the last 20 years.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?

      I have no problem drafting a WR, even as high as the 2nd, but I do have an issue with using a precious 1st rounder on it. Another WR is a need, but we also have a lot of other needs, and the goal should always be to draft 1st rounders that you expect to be on the team for 10 years if they stay healthy. In regards to Coker, one of two things happen.  He keeps getting better and becomes our legit #2 to T-Mac and we have to pay him accordingly, or he doesn’t. If he does, then using that 1st rounder on a WR this year was dumb.  If he doesn’t, then drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be smart, but then so would trading Coker when his perceived value would be at its highest. If we were already had a SB contending roster, then yes, a 1st Round WR to put us over the top makes sense, but we just have too many holes to fill to use it that way… again, unless the staff just doesn’t believe in Coker’s ability to become a true #2, which I think he really can be.
