Some Jalen Coker love

The thing about Coker--he catches it when he is targeted most of the time--the only time he doesn't is when the QB throws a bad ball.   I think Legette and Coker can be the dynamic duo next year--need a #3 and maybe a #4--if we can get a third or fourth rounder for Johnson....

They need another Diontae like guy and a stud TE. Sanders ain't it there.

Some huddlers were screaming for him before we signed him.  You know, the coach's ability to recognize talent is alarming--You keep Mingo and put Coker on the PS...How much do you need to see?

Moore has also been solid--as a #5 WR.

Had him in most of my mock drafts, was surprised when he was pick up.

If Legette is playing like a #1 by the end of the season, it would help, but I am not sure he is more than a #2 and Coker would be a very solid slot--so you could be right---problem I have with that is no legit #1 is coming here in free agency and we should go QB and Edge in the draft---we shall see.  I mean, you may not need an Alpha if you have three Betas.

They factor in draft position over actual ability too much of the time. Its the same reason we went into the season with Bryce as the unquestioned starter.

I am not sold that we go Qb in the draft up top. Just because we need so much for one thing, and there is no real clear savior at QB so far as I can see in October of their season. To be fair I haven't even looked semi seriously at it. All I am capable is semi.

But also I think Canales skill set suits a vet QB better, and in lieu of an overwhelming option in the draft let's just pick some talent there. Preferably defense. 

The thought that these guys can at least identify a UDFA that could make it helps me envision someone like - I shouldn't even say a Smitty - but someone good that can translate to the league that is still on the board in the 3rd or very early in the 4th round.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
