Where are these Debbie Downers coming from?  Are they Cicadas?  You get the best RB in the draft vs. the 10th best CB. I wanted the LB.  However, a RB that can catch better that Chuba, block better than Chuba, and run better than Chuba--behind our new guards---I see it.

 

Let’s be honest, at 39, we had our pick of CBs starting with the 3rd ranked DeJean. We also had the 2nd and 3rd ranked Cs available too.

The 2nd best RB was available at 65. You don’t have to be a Debbie Downer to think that a RB who ended his season with an ACL tear might have not been the best choice. I was fine with the trade down to get the 2025 2nd but a RB in round 2 is not who I would have wanted.

Committee.  Plus before his injury he was putting up better numbers than Bijan. Just saying. The Falcons took Bijan early and we got Brooks a round later. 

All good but until they go through the process it's irrelevant, if course they will start one of them but even that doesn't mean he's #1, that'll all depend on the game plans and how best to Ayan the defense.

I like that he doesn’t have a lot of wear and tear on his body yet since he was behind Johnson and Robinson his first couple seasons. I don’t like that he’s coming off an ACL injury, obviously. Seems like we’re really prepping to install and develop in 2024 and compete in 2025.

After a late night gym workout I'm willing to give this pick a chance. For all we know this dude might be a game changer at RB and another legit weapon for this offense. If he's the best RB I will take the experts word.

 

 

Amazing how a quick workout can change your whole vibe. I left angry at the pick lol. Now I'm cool.

 

The gym does wonders people stay healthy!

He looks like our new feature back than can run through you or around you, has hands, and is a home run threat. His ACL let us steal him where we did honestly.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
