this is all bad news IMO. 

good luck attracting a quality HC....when the owner is going to dictate his staff.  Again.   

Pairing a known a new head coach with a quality DC is sound reasoning. If the new coach doesn’t understand that maybe he’s not the right guy.

We’re hanging onto Evero because 1.) he’s good and 2.) so we can get a comp pick for him next offseason when he does get hired away. The rule requires that minority coaches have to be on staff for at least 2 seasons to count towards the third round pick compensation. I don’t like the rule but it’s what’s going on.

HCs should be able to hire their own staff.  People they work well with and are bought into the same vision.  Generally speaking.  That's the ideal approach.  You can find exceptions to anything.   

We just went through a cycle with the owner/GM dictating a lot of what Frank's world would look like.  Game of Thrones I think was the reporting of how that went.  But yeah, let's keep doing the same thing.

Again, another coach that a new HC would be blessed to hire or retain.  IF a new coach wants him im sold on the idea.  Evero might not be sold on the idea though.  Even more another team might be sold on him as their next HC so that would put the defense in limbo yet again.  I do admire the fact that the coaches that the team would want to keep around are coaches that are actually worth it.  If I saw it kicked around that we want to retain Tremble's Uncle as TE coach I'd be a bit perturbed.  We could and frankly probably will do much worse hiring a new DC, which will be churned in 2 seasons because of poor performance, much like ST if we hire away from Tabor.  New HC has to make some good hires, and not just their college buddies or familiar faces from austere coaching situations they have been in at one point in time.  The DC and ST here are kind of layups for first time HCs.

If it's a HC we are desperate for like Johnson he will have to option of picking his guy or rolling with Evero.  As involved as Johnson is with the offense I could see someone like him leaving the defense with Evero.  There is nothing wrong with being "intrigued" by the idea since our defense has overperformed.  As long as we don't demand it from our new HC it's fine IMO.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
