After whiffing so hard on the Young pick if we have the 1st overall pick again my guess is they go with the more traditional pocket passer in Beck this time over the playmaking Ward due to the Young/Stroud disaster. 

Beck is no Stroud and Ward’s playmaking skills would actually translate to the NFL

You know it! Ward is my guy so far

Am i the only one that things his problems have been more mental than physical

it looks like the game is being played faster than he plays

until last year he has been the best QB for his age pretty much his whole life, maybe im naive but I dont think all of a sudden he’s too small to compete. He was small for a high school QB and he was small for a college QB too

Not saying you are wrong. 

The all of a sudden thing, you said it yourself. Until last year. 

Like in the SEC the typical DE was big and fast. NFL will cull most of them. What is left is bigger tougher better and just as fast or faster.

Ever hear of the Peter Principle? If not, basically you do well and move up. You will keep moving up until it gets too hard for you. Then, you don't move up any more because the job requires all of your abilities and you no longer are top dog. That is a loose interpretation.

Reminds me of Mike Evans.

As an Arizona alum who has watched all his games, I've always seen AJ Green when I watch him play, also a more similar slimmer body type than the thicker Evans

Most of the draft profile comps I've seen have been Mike Evans though, so what do I know, lol

Trade down to collect picks but stay inside the Top 10 to be able to grab Tetairoa McMillan

My literal dream scenario, he's going to be a STUD in this league, I'd be ordering that authentic jersey so fast

Yeah Tmac looks like a stud he had a hell of a game vs Northern Arizona last week a scorching 2 catches for 11 yards!

Imagine walking in a room with Stroud/AR/Levis/Bryce and leaving that room thinking the small midget is the right guy to lead your franchise.

 

Tepper is a fuggin joke!

Was Bryce hurt during the combine? If not, he was the only one who did not participate, which to me, unless he was injured, is odd.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
