What is the story on JJ McCarthy?  Is he entering the draft?  If so, he would be the fourth or fifth QB--

I was also impressed with the TE from Washington (Westover, I think was his name) and he is not even listed as a potential draft pick.  I would take him late and laugh about it.  Good hands, routes, blocking--what is not to like about him>

He might go late 1st but reality is he is a 3rd round QB tape wise.. He needs to come in and sit 1st year and maybe he will develop into a game manager or high in back up..

I like Loveland better as a TE (again I’m Basis) but better blocker better technical route running plus he is from Iowa (land of the TE).. 

But I do like Washington WR’s Polk in the 3rd..

sure, but we need a big bruising back to compliment Chuba and Blackshear. Sanders gotta go. 

My boy gives out bruises with the best of them.. He is a hard tough runner who has no problem going thru the middle.. 

Don’t let his size fool you my friend..

Corum was one helluva college RB. Great vision and really good balance. But I have real questions about his burst at the NFL level. And I'm also concerned about how much of the tread is gone off his tires. He was an absolute workhorse at Michigan. Ultimately I think he's one of those great Big 10 backs that don't translate at the NFL level.

The reason he will be available in the 4th and 5th round is the fact he isn’t a home run threat.. But neither was Lynch and MJD who are my comps..

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
