Robert Hunt Grunts....a lot (mic'd up in Munich)

IMHO the offensive line is the bedrock of your entire team. It all starts there. Pass play. Run play. Every offensive snap depends on the offensive line winning. And we've all seen great defenses falter when an offense can't sustain drives, and they're going back out on the field gassed after a 3-and-out. It all starts with the O-line. So a big investment in your line, and the interior in particular, is an investment in building a winning team.

These two guards have been worth every penny.

Guys who are not driven for football greatness frequently check out after their big payday comes. They have elite ability which carried them. But They are not true leaders. Losing is ok as long as ‘I got mine.’ It only takes signing one of these dudes to cost a GM and coach their jobs.

Robert Hunt plays like he’s still in college. Horn plays like he’s still in college. Chuba plays like he’s still in college. Brown, same thing. 

Losing is not ok, especially to these dudes. attitude is infectious; it goes both ways.  It also helps that all 3 are top 5 in the NFL at their respective positions (who would have thought?). They walk the walk. This is the core that grooms the rookies on ‘how to be a professional.’ This is our nucleus. 

This is also why we have to retain Horn. Dan is building a nucleus. Guys like this don’t just come along and happen in to your lap every day. He is building a team in his image. 

Previously, we’ve overdrafted tweeners based off combine results and signed oft injured big name has beens who look at us as a retirement home. Dan is bringing in and retaining true football players. 

Finally we can have something nice… hopefully.

 Dan didn’t just bring in a guard. He brought in Robert Hunt. Bad M’fer.

He’s a culture creating player… infectious enthusiasm, high energy and effort all game.  

Waving at the RB mid play saying “come on” after he opened a hole on the td run… hes my new fav player.

this.

changing the culture takes time, a lot of work, and shared experiences...caught up in "the battle" together fighting through while winning and losing, but constantly trying to get that W and do better every day/week. 

It also takes big personalities like Hunt showing the rest of the crew how it's done. attitudes like his are infectious.

    • Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.  
    • awesome interview. Love the guy. 
    • 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.
