most those teams were already stacked and trying to get over the hump, making those high RBs luxury picks. Panthers don’t have that luxury and still have a ton of holes to fill. This pick addresses none of those holes 

Rb was a hole, even though everyone here was sucking off Chuba.

Taking a RB top ten isn’t how it’s done these days…but teams are still doing it. Taking the top RB in the second is not a problem. 

We are the worst team in the NFL.  That factors for me.  

if we were trying to get over the hump….someone mentioned teams like Buffalo, SF, etc investing in a RB.  I think it changes things if you are in a position to just find a missing piece to a puzzle almost put together 

plus he just blew his knee out.  Don’t even know if he will be ready come camp time.  That’s just not going to get people that aren’t big on RBs early to change that mindset just because Carolina did it l.  Think in this particular draft….3rd round was the earliest I would entertain RBs and that’s early.  So I’m just staying true to what I said leading up to the draft

I forgot to add who I think that we will take (can't edit my post).  Now, this is the negative side of me based on the history of this franchise.

#33 Legette

#39 Sainristil

#65 Brooks/Benson

Like I said, good thing Saniristil got picked or I would have crushed my Panthers suck at drafting list.

🤷‍♂️ I’m just saying, I get the argument to not take a RB top half of the 1st. Taking one in the second isn’t a problem, especially when you’ve addressed most of your other needs and need to put weapons around your flailing young QB

U just refuse to hear that RB is easy to find late or in FA. So let’s agree to disagree I suppose 

Okay right now not half way through the season pick one RB that goes 5th or later UDFA that immediately has a breakout season.... I'll wait we can hold the receipt.

Especially when you picked up a future second and RB was the plan all along.

    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
