RB Jonathan Brooks will not be ready to play until a month into the season

You got to figure the offense, 1st time HC and OC,  won’t really be a well oiled machine the first few weeks so...  

DeShaun Foster was pretty good for the Panthers as a 2nd round guy that lost his entire first season. 

That’s as positive as I’ve got.

Not surprised.  In fact, I hope they take their time and ensure he is 100% before he sees the field.  IMO, his selection was always about what he might do for us next season and for a few years after that.  

Yeah, the expectations this season should be very low. He still has to get the confidence back in his knee which is likely to take whatever portion of the season he actually plays.

2025 is his first year, IMO.

Picking a RB coming off an ACL in the second round for a team that needs practically everything was such a head scratching luxury pick.

JPJ was right there for the taking and would have solidified the center position for 10+ years and would have contributed instantly.

Instead, we're already struggling with botched snaps in practice and getting bullied up the middle already

RB is the cherry on top of the sundae and we got super excited to get a [bruised up] cherry to put on top of our steaming pile of dog poo.

Oh and don't forget, we traded 3 picks for him 

The Carolina Panthers traded picks no. 52, 142, and 155 to acquire the 46th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft from the Indianapolis Colts

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years (Brown is the only current player I think there is even an argument to be made over T-Mac there), with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
