Good to know, the mock draft sims are depressing for the edge 

Yeah not the best edge draft.  Only a few edge setters.  Some high upside rushers like Chop and Elliss but then it starts to get a bit bleak.  Not bought in to the 2nd-3rd round graded guys.

I can roll with this.

I want so badly to win a lot of games this year, but I need to be content with just trending towards better and building something sustainable.

Just be patient. It’s the only way out of this. We haven’t been patient for a while and have 6 years of 2-7 wins and last year was our least talented roster ever. If we keep worrying about wins and using all our cap every year for 1-2 year mediocre vets we’ll never dig out. Heck, based on losing Butns, Donte, Luvu, YGM and others, our roster may be worse than last year if we flub the draft again. I’d personally rather grab every “could be” another Luvu/Addison/Norwell we can than sign Clowney to a one year deal and mess up our chance at getting whatever super stud DE/WR/Burrow (if Young doesn’t miraculously improve) in the 2025 draft. We have to play the long game. The 2023 Panthers were the worst team in the league and two guards and Diontae did not overcome our losses to make us anywhere close to a playoff team.

I honestly have a bad feeling that we will reach to solve problems like we have been doing. It’s not a good edge draft. People can convince themselves of any prospect because they are prospects but we can’t go need based.

I seen people say we don’t want the 5th to 10th WR over the 2nd or 3rd whatever, but that’s how it works in deep drafts.

2020 was a very deep WR draft. Lamb went 3rd, Jefferson was 5th, Aiyuk was 6th, Higgins was 7th and Pittman was 8th. Reagor also went before JJ and Jeudy/Ruggs went before Lamb and JJ, so we also need to not fug it up.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
