I'm Sold on Drew Allar

Allar was Top 3 for me entering the season. Now, I have him about 5th. 

He's a 2nd Rounder.

Big guy, strong arm, but man he makes some wild decisions sometimes. His upside is to develop into a Josh Allen type, but he could just as easily be a Paxton Lynch.

Top 3 going into this year? Wow. I’ll be honest that I haven’t watched much of him this year but I remember watching some of the big games last year and he wasn’t good at all. Against Michigan, Ohio St. and Ole Miss, his completion % was in the 40s all 3 games. Even against Rutgers and Illinois, his completion % was in the 40s.

He's probably going to be in the 2026 class so I wouldn't develop a hard lined opinion on the guy quite yet.  

Big arm but has some stuff to work on.

This is his first successful year--he is 20.  So I agree.  Has some processing issues at times, but when compared to last year, night and day.  I like him

The guy is big. He looks like a Rothlisberger in the pocket.  Many of his completions came from being under pressure and having guys in his face.

 

 

And you can see him going through his reads. Really good at standing tall  surveying the field. I even saw a few plays where he guided the safety away from his intended target.

Honestly Allar’s situation reminds me of Herbert’s at Oregon. His college offense limits him and doesn’t truly show his abilities at the next level. He also isn’t working with that much looking at his weapons. He is definitely a player that could be a better pro than he was in college IMO.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • 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.
    • 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?
