Chinn is a LB/S hybrid. He's not making up for losing our #1 CB. We were already thin at CB. 

I get that Pitts is listed as a TE but lets be honest, he's a jumbo WR. He's a matchup nightmare. There are very few safeties and even fewer LBs that aren't going to be significantly overmatched by him one on one.

It’s not just Pitts, it’s the issue of Chinn looking poorly in coverage. I know Pitts is a different but Chinn was the guy who should be able to cover TEs.

We lucked out that Ridder is terrible. Pitts didn’t even double move Chinn here and he absolutely abused him. We need him to step up. 

It’s been a long time since Chinn impacted a game 

his rookie sensational year seems long ago

someone on this bloody team needs to step up and make plays

im sick of excuses ‘ it’s a new scheme’  ‘our star xyz is out’

this is football…not physics 

lesser teams have won games 

someone needs to step up Monday night

Chinn is once again an overhyped player. We continue to paint these guys as stars and they are not that.

 

Chinn is a hybrid S/LB who should be used on blitzes or in the box. He's not a DB.

 

If Chinn is a DB we are going to get torched in the passing game.

I’m probably guilty of remembering Chinns rookie year and thinking he’d be that plus some more in future seasons.

They immediately bumped him to free safety and stunted his growth. Maybe his rookie year was a flash in the pan no matter what but spending 2 years shoehorned into an unnatural position is not helpful, and he's still out of position this year. Dude needs to be a 4-3 SS/ Thomas Davis Joker-type player.

I know y’all are high on Chinn but the dude has massively regressed after his rookie year. His game tape we watch last year and this past Sunday shows it. He has every athletic trait you can possibly want. He lacks the nfl mental right now. Tons of little mistakes that add up. Watch his feet and hips.  He too often get caught flat footed and getting turned around. Also, he overshoots the run too often.  He could get away with that freak athleticism in D1aa but in the nfl he just seems to be a step Behind.

Yeah, a lot of folks are overlooking that the guy is playing his third position in as many seasons. Playing him as a deep FS was just absolutely baffling though.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
