I agree, hindsight 20/20 but a GM/Scouts should be held accountable for mis-evaluating both need and talent. If your job is in quality control you don't just overlook someone who lets malfunctioning products through.

I tend to think we have talent, its coaching we have lacked. Lets hope that has been fixed. Now if Fox would give someone like Jarrett a chance with Moore (who is by far a better passer then Delhomme in his opportunities earlier this year).

I still think he could be a good #2 as I think he has good size and is a great run blocker. He also has very good hands. His problem is getting consistent separation. Lets hope Tyke can change that.

We used our 2nd round pick to trade up for Otah, a great pick and a huge need.

3rd round we took Connor, who had a 1st round grade by alot of scouts and Godfrey because we had a huge need at safety.

The two you listed in the 6th round were both developed by their teams more than they were a miss in scouting.

What pick exactly do you think we should have changed?

No, we gave up a 1st round, 2nd round and 4th round pick to select Otah.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      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?
