well, I don’t think it is either….i think need shapes the board.  And if needs shapes it, BPA isn’t really a clear thing. 

Panthers definitely last year let need and even draft runs overly dictate things IMO and influence them 

Canales today said that scheme influences "BPA", or "rankings" rather might be the better word. With this draft smokescreen stuff no one ever really finds out the truth behind the big boards and whether a team panics and reaches when the clock is ticking

It makes sense. It needs to fit the need. I am ignoring subtlety, but you don’t hire a heavy metal band for a church picnic. I hope. 

Fitting needs has been a fuging problem with all the yearly changes in HC, DC, OC, they need to settle that down.

Center is very interesting.  If Corbett is telling the truth and he can play C, then I wonder "at what level" and "who is your backup?"   After watching the interview with Powers-Johnson, I would love his presence in the locker room. 

However, I actually had a dream about this, and we drafted Ladd McConkey and Mike Sainistil.  We drafted a LB in the third, but I don't know if that was part of my dream or if it was what I told my wife when I was cuddling with her after a traumatic nightmare.

I am kidding--I would actually like that draft.   Not sure if the Sainistil pick was a trade back or not.  Still feeling that we are going to trade back #33.  I see possibly Denver moving up for Nix, offering us a future second rounder and a third this season to do so. 

As for edge--I just think there is a bit of a gap between rounds 1 and late 2.   Best to wait and see if Elliss or someone like that drops.  Please, no RBs or TEs until day 3.

Just because someone thinks they can play doesn't mean they actually can. There's a reason he's never been a starting center and it's because he isn't a center.

Depends on the TE. If Bowers is there at 33, yeah, I know it's not happening, but if he were there, you'd have to make that pick.

This is based on need and the expected availability in the draft:

33.  Trade to get a second rounder next year and a third or fourth this year.  imagine we need a QB like Denver and are sitting there at #12 without a second rounder.  Say we drop to pick 50.

39.  Wide Receiver (a quality WR should be there---Pearsall, Coleman, Franklin, Worthy, Legette, or Worthy--all have a 50% chance or better to be there)  Do not be surprised if the Panthers pick Mike Saindristil. 

50.  Inside Linebacker: Cooper (Tex AM) or Wilson (NCSU).  The Panthers have a history of Dawg LBs and have not been successful without one. 

65. Nickel CB  (I would consider moving up for Sandristril here to about 55.  If not, CB Max Melton (Rutgers)

Of course, if an edge falls of a top C is there, I might go another direction--if Powers-Johnson is at #39, I take him.

101: This is the sweet spot for a backup Center: Nourzad (Penn St), Pran Granger (Georgia); We could find some fallen value at Edge:  Eliss (Utah), and Austin Booker (Kansas).  RB: Ray Davis (KY), Blake Forum (Mich)

Carolina chances of trading back 15%

Carolina trading  into the first to get their guy is 60%

Carolina trading for a very liked WR just went up %5(was 0 this morning but a new deal is getting worked on

Carolina stays is 0% 

Carolina know who they want but news coming in says he may not be available if they wait

      NBC Sports 2026 NFL GM rankings

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      All these rankings have more to do with the writers love or hate for a team.  Morgan, IMO, has done a really good job at building this team.  Yeah, there are a couple of whiffs but for the most part he has done quite well drafting and signing free agents.  22 is a bit low but it's a stupid opinion based on how little a writer knows about the Panthers.

      Maybe? Maybe....?

      When I saw that I was thinking the same thing.  If Evero does have a great season and gets hired as a head coach I wouldn't mind see McD as our DC.  If we do poorly as a team, I definitely would want him to be the front runner for HC.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But it's not about not upsetting a player under contract, it's about not causing a rift in the locker room. The players love Bryce, whether as a person or a player doesn't matter.  You can't spend a Top 10 pick on a QB and then still start your #1 overall pick in the last year of their contract. That act alone will cause a massive locker room rift/distraction that would be unavoidable.  Some players will question why you "wasted" a Top 10 pick on a QB you're not going to start instead of someone who can help right away.  While others will question why we are keeping Bryce around for the season when it's clear he's not the future guy at that point. It would just make for a bad start to the rookie's career while causing locker room distractions.  Again, I'd bet this has never happened in this league before with any 1st round QB, let alone the #1 overall pick, and there is a reason for it, which is that it would be epically stupid to do. And I used the Vikings as the example as they're the closest I can think of, because again, there isn't a direct comparison as nobody has ever done it because it's that dumb of an idea (no offense lol).
