Top pick would be Biadasz. 

He excels at what Bozeman did poorly (stunt protection, pre-snap communication, & combo-blocking) which seems like those could be priorities for Canales' staff.  He's also only 26.  He's a guy to throw some money at.  I'd also imagine we're looking at Evan Brown from Seattle.

Lol, I always cry a little inside when I see mentions of players who we discussed drafting in here. Biadasz when way later in the 4th than when we took Troy Pride and he went just a handful of picks before we took Kenny Robinson. Those guys played a combined 3 years for us so much better picks than a C one draft after we let Kalil go.

I hate starting rookie linemen.  After 2 games, Ickey did great but he was a top 10 pick.  I'm not against drafting C at 33 if he's among the BPA but it would be great to have him learn for a year behind a vet.

Here's the FA centers, but I have no idea which would fit in our blocking scheme.

Center with our first pick which isn't until pick 33, to block for a guy that won't be the starter after next season. What a way to fire up the fan base

I also have a doubt that Young is the guy in the long run. To build the offense for a guy that may not be under center after next season, is troubling.

Jackson Powers-Johnson would be an outstanding pick, but I have my doubts that he'll be there at #33. A team like Buffalo will snatch him up before we pick.

I agree, would be the dream pick. If we trade Burns for a first rounder we might have a shot.

at 33 you probably would be getting the best or close to it center that is on your board.  At 33 you are probably getting the 8ish best wr, so I guess its how the value the positions.   Getting the number one center in the draft, while not sexy, would be incredibly helpful


It would be the right thing to do.

Eh, it’s also just a really good WR draft.  Lot of mocks have one of the Texas kids there at 33…..and in a less great WR draft that kid wouldn’t go 33rd.  He would go higher. 

I’d rather the Panther dip into FA for OL help.

The LAST thing Bryce Young needs is a rookie C trying to figure it out while he is still attempting to.  Heck, we got enough already on the line for Bryce trying to figure it out like his LT

Yeah Bryce still figuring out if he can throw the ball in the NFL, a rookie center, and a rookie head coach who insists on also calling plays while trying to manage a whole team for the first time? No thanks

A rookie would be rough, but FA is the worst place to find OL. Just not enough of them.

That would still be where I put by money in FA.  Draft would be all offensive skill positions. 

not only has Bryce struggled on his own.  Now he gets another new offense.  Which is never a good thing.  And you just flat out go too many others on the OL struggling to learn right now.

Anyone we get in FA is going to be below average to bad. Teams don’t discard good OL.

I’d rather have a talented rookie who will improve vs a Jag on the decline.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Well, hope they're not worried about a torn Labrum or Rotator Cuff, as someone who went through that myself, I know those don't have anything show up on X-Rays but from the MRI, so this is kinda a nothing update, hope it's not a tear or his season is already over if they decide to do surgery now. Which is basically what would be needed to get him to 100% for the start of next season's training camp if it's a labrum.  If he plays the season with it and then does surgery, he's not going to be ready for camp and probably not the start of the season either.

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I always try to not pay much attention to a team’s preseason win/loss record. The 1982 Washington and 2021 LA Rams both lost every game in the preseason and went on to win the Super Bowl, whereas the 2008 Detroit Lions and 2017 Cleveland Browns both won every game in reason and went on to lose every regular season game. There’s many examples of teams that lose in preseason that go on to have good seasons, but equally there are teams that lose in preseason and that continues in the regular season. Which will we be?  I think our floor is a handful of wins, while our ceiling will probably be around the 9-10 win mark. The latter will require significant improvement from the whole team and coaching staff, and will also need Bryce to play like the QB we drafted him to be. I want to be optimistic and predict a winning season, but it’s really difficult as a Panthers fan!
