The issue I have with our pick at 33 is there is going to be a projected first round pick that fall out of the first round.  The question will be WHY?  

While I agree we need to get O-line help I am not sold that what we have on the roster is trash.  I continue to believe it had to do with the scheme that Reich wanted and what we were built for.  Hopefully our new head coach goes back to a more traditional style of blocking that our players are better at. 

We have been jinxed for nearly 20 years on 2nd round WRs.  After Moose I don't think we have ever hit on a 2nd round WR.   My hope is a WR that is NFL ready as far as route running and concept understanding. 

I agree on MLB.  I think we got to have a defensive general.  Obvious a Kuechly clone would be nice.

I hope that Morgan isn't just talking and lands us some players that can improve this team.

Dan Morgan's only interview question to draft prospects:  "On a scale of 1 to 10, how much of a Dawg are you?" 

That's what's going to be different from last year lol 

I'd like to be a fly on the wall in some of his interviews.  I think Morgan will do well to bring that dawg out in his interviews.

Morgan seems like a no nonsense dude. He is a former player and will know if you're just BS-ing your way through or not motivated to be a great player. He's not looking for dudes whose dream is to play in the NFL, but for dudes what want to be in the hall of fame!

Not just a former player but a great one.  He knows what it takes and as you said.  He'll be able to sort out BS from fact.

Idunno, Curtis Samuel was pretty good by his 3rd year, esp the 4th. He might be the only one though. Lafell was decent. Funchess was tolerated by year 3. All more effective than TMJ. 

Yea u might be right lol.. hopefully Mingo pans out.

Weak class for TEs.  And no, we are not getting Bowers.

Sure is.  I don't think we can do better than what we have---we improve with Hurst getting better and maybe prospering in a new system.   Tremble was showing signs of becoming a solid #2.  Ricci from IR could help as well.

I want to make the #33 pick even more complicated than this....

After round 1, lotta teams try to trade up and the phones will ring between day 1 and day 2.  Since we have mulitple needs, I wpuld not be too surprised to see us trade down to about #40 and add a third rounder.  Heard it here first!   The WR group is really good, and if a no brainer first rounder does not drop to #33, I would consider a trade back--not too far---8-10 spots.

Yep it’s what happened last year. Hopefully a top QB falls again like Levis because teams will overpay for a premium position.

Probably because of overly relying on the combine vs game analysis

Would it be a good idea to look at QB's as well? Deep class so talent will be available in later rounds. Be kind of stupid not to draft a QB, just in case Young really does end up being a bust. Would be nice to have a QB on the roster for a year or so to get some experience.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
