Sounds like any "dogs" available at any point to us this season we are taking a shot on as it relates to the type of player and the panthers access to them as the #1 waiver wire spot until Week 4 of the regular season. No more wasting draft picks for unknown or aging commodities. Back to building through the draft as the primary focus

 

Quote

"I mean, we're in a non-panic mode," Morgan said. "I think everything that we do right now, the decisions that are made now are going to be made for the future as well.

"We've got to be very disciplined, and we've got to have a plan. We have a plan, and we've got to stay disciplined to that plan."

In recent years, the Panthers have been willing to trade picks for players, at the quarterback position and others. But Morgan said as he moves forward building this roster, he wants to put a premium on draft picks, so they can build something sustainable around quarterback Bryce Young and the pieces acquired this week.

"We definitely talk about that long-term vision," Morgan said. "And again, that doesn't mean that we're not going to make moves and be competitive. But at the same time, we can't continue to keep giving draft capital away for players.

"We've got to build this thing through the draft, and that's the goal here."

Quote

"We're going to do a good job on the personnel side, whether through the draft or there are guys who get released late in the process," he said. So there's going to be opportunities for us to get playmakers."

But as he surveyed two weeks of work, there are particular players that stand out.

Hunt and Lewis — 650 pounds of guard, with $150 million worth of total contracts — are key pieces to protect Young, who was sacked 62 times last year. And by dealing for Johnson, there's a receiver with a demonstrated ability to get open, who also has the kind of personality Morgan is looking for as he builds.

"I think it's definitely a statement," Morgan said of those early additions on offense. "And even out at wideout, like Diontae, like he has edge, he has toughness, and him along with those two guards, and these are tough, competitive guys.

"So that's what we're building towards."



Edit: Technically, we have a former huddler as our GM now when you think about it.

i might try to lift it leading up to the draft.

Yea, last year it was not a good place or time for the bot to post positive spinoff of the turd on field product we got to witness every week.  I think many of us have a bit more optimism this year so folks might be more tolerable.  At least until early fall anyways.

“And again, we can't fix everything overnight because there is a lot of holes, and I think that we all have to understand that. The fans have to understand that, and people in the building have to understand that, that it isn't going to happen overnight, but it is going to eventually happen.”

i can appreciate all of that and that they aren't making panic decisions. they want to win this year, but they aren't willing to sacrifice long term plans to make that happen. cost of some players that could help us win this year could affect us being able to acquire some long term answers.

Yes please do...the "fluff" is just a small percentage of what it posts; it also often breaks news and posts articles with good factual info that nobody else here would have linked otherwise.  I don't see why we can't just apply the same rule we use broadly of "if you aren't interested, don't click it".  People can ignore topics posted by the bot instead of swarming to the thread to post about how much those posts bother them.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
