The Triple-Ds make their first mark with a terrible decision.

Dumb, Dumber & Dumbest are going to earn that Triple-Ds nickname if they don't get anything from this draft to immediately impact the 2024 season.

Im not the biggest Legette fan but you need to allow him to play under this staff that decided he was a fit for the offense. Mingo fits as a slot and should replace theilen. You got to wait this out some bro....

As far as giving up the overnight break and essentially being on the clock.... those QBs were gone, takes away the potential. 

i agree with this. the main value of 33 was to fleece someone who wanted Penix or Nix. once they came off, the ability to rob someone dropped off significantly. the best thing is to get your guy. swapping 5 for 6 to get the 5th year option seems like a great move. it’s now up to the coaching staff to make this pay off.

Yeah I forgot which pod, but someone was saying that about this year.  #20-45ish have similar grades for a lot of teams, so if a team is really coveting a guy, it makes sense to go get him since the capital isn't requiring to jump a tier.  And with no QBs there, it wasn't much at all.  I.E. - the other trades in the 20s before ours.

Thank you, because of your post I stayed up to watch it

Had Buffalo and KC not traded, it would not have gone down.  KC would never give up a 5th year option but Morgan and Beane are buddies, so I really believe that BB threw us a bone.

If we can walk away with a center or that iowa CB at 39, we will be in great shape.

That CB from Iowa can play the nickel for us and he would be great at it.  He can play outside.  He can play safety.  He can tackle and he is a ball hawk.  He or JPJ (Center) would be great, 

Gonna call the pick:  Saintrisil (CB) or Wilson (LB)

Xavier Worthy going to the Chiefs, oooo wee mayne, Worthy is going to be GOOD with Mahomes. Very fortunate he ended up somewhere that will use him correctly and keep him healthy. Potential all-pro. 

I think the Bills were dumb to hand him to the Chiefs.  They should have taken him, even though he'll likely be much better in KC's offense.

      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.
