Yep. I haven't paid enough attention, but maybe Smart prefers upperclassmen.

I wonder if NIL money backfires in these types of situations? I mean, Beck was being hyped as a potential #1 overall pick so I'm sure lots of money poured in. Kinda like how NFL teams give guys with big contracts a lot longer leash.

That's a good point and one I hadn't considered. If something like that has happened and was ordered by the AD and money men, I'd be pissed if I was the coach.

It literally just dawned on me. Like seriously, why the fug hasn't this guy been benched yet? Oh, because a bunch of money is probably invested in him and he has a lot of outside marketing deals who want to see him playing even if the team is having to carry him

The Panthers might be able to fill a stadium like Georgia has if the bank hosts a big bowl game.

They need to drop all the old conference affiliations now that a lot of the old conferences are defunct anyway. Make matchups that make sense from a geographical perspective. Don't have mediocre teams facing off on the other side of the country. You're going to have a ton of empty seats.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
