So instead of reaching they pick Gibbs? Lmao 

They got this pick from the Cardinals via Houston. This is a huge threat to David Montgomery and D'Andre Swift on the Detroit depth chart. Gibbs (5’9/199) would be the No. 1 back in some classes but had to settle for consensus No. 2 status behind generational talent Bijan Robinson. It’s a testament to Gibbs’ versatility and explosiveness, as he never operated as a true bell-cow in three seasons between Georgia Tech and Bama. He doesn’t profile as one in the NFL, either, though he pairs a “lightning” running style with elite pass-catching prowess. The possessor of breakaway speed, Gibbs timed 4.36 on his Combine 40 and looks that fast on film. He pairs it with equally impressive acceleration. Gibbs is both fast and quick. He’s a mismatch both in the passing game and open field. Like all smaller, speed-based backs, Gibbs isn’t as strong between the tackles, but his skill-set is no longer uncommon at the NFL level. Teams will know what to do with him in a league where Austin Ekeler is a superstar. Like Ekeler, PPR leagues will be Gibbs’ key to early career fantasy value.

He’s getting into the teams that don’t need QBs range. Could slip all the way out of the first if the Bucs don’t take him.

Teams seen what a lot of us did on tape. The guy has processing issues.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
