Do the Panthers take advantage of a strong TE class or ignore drafting a TE since they signed Hurst?

TE is different.  You just learned something today.  You are welcome. LOL

I guess you've missed that this is the best TE class in at least a decade. Not all drafts are created equal. #39 is not "really high". There are TEs taken prior to #49 in virtually every draft.

I don't think you're proving the point you're trying to prove here.

Draft the best player regardless of position

This is the one true rule and nearly all GMs/HC/owners always break it. 

 

Im that to a fault, but being honest....this year I broken it as well......just thought edge was the only choice for the 39th/2nd and WR for the next. Thats wrong. BPA.

 

Panthers need the most talented players.

LOL at the idea hurst is too "good" for drafting a TE, ooo my.....

 

Panthers may only have 2-4 players that could not be ungraded with the 39th pick......ickey, horn and 1st overall QB............. thats about it. Even an edge at 39 could best burns and his constant 9-ish sack numbers. 

 

If the clear best pick is TE, draft him!  Odds are in the favor of that, looking at the history and this years class.

In a Reich offense, he builds the passing game around 8 receivers - 3 WRs, 3 TEs, and 2 RBs. They need to be strong and tough. He wants tall TEs. WRs and TEs need have 4.5 speed and RBs need to be sub 4.5. Appears to me Reich wants 1 vet leader at RB and TE that fits his system. I expect he will want to draft 2 TEs.

Zach Kuntz is the only TE that fits what Reich wants. Jelani Woods was that TE build last year. He wants excellent TE speed, height, and great hands in his TE.

If QB is not the target with the #1, I could see the Panthers switching spots with the Texans so they can have Bryce Young, and then swapping with the Colts so they can have CJ Stroud. The Panthers could pick up 3 2nd round picks and Jelani Woods by moving down to #4.

The Panthers could have Hayden Hurst, Jelani Woods, and Zach Kuntz for their TE packages. Panthers would also add the #33, 35, and 65 picks to go along with the #4 and 39 pick. This would add immediate impact players at several positions to pair with the vets that have been signed.

People are really overlooking our CB depth. If that's bpa at 39 we should do it

Heres a nugget I seen- during the gamecock pro-day, panthers DB&CB coaches did some of the workout drills for players. Cam smith had a grrrreeeeaaat showing there according to everyone who was there, all the teams started to drool. Followed where the rumors that his floor is now carolinas 2nd round pick 39(they got it wrong).

What was supposedly a strength going into last season looked horrible once Donte and Jaycee went down. And Donte is also a liability against certain guys. I could see Ringo dropping as well but not sure if he'd be a great fit

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.

      Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By frankw · Posted

      Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
