late round fantasty steal. 

[Davidson Deac II]

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.

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.

Great pick

[App Panther]

He's not going to help us until next year.

It's disheartening to realize the top two draft picks of a 2-15 team will not be having an early impact on the upcoming season.

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
