OLB, WR, or even G or QB... all before DL is addressed...

what's wrong with our guards. you don't like travelle wharton, duke robinson, and mackenzy bernadeau?

It's tough to really figure anything out. On the one hand we NEED a WR but there wont be one that is of value at the 48th pick, we would have to reach for a guy (cough, cough gilyard, cough). We also could use some depth at DE but we just used a second round pick last year and fox/hurney rarely pick the same side of the ball year to year with their first pick...I highly doubt they would pick the same position. Then there is the arguement, although I think SLJ is the only one, for a linebacker. Which in theory is a good plan but will a rookie LB really be able to supplant Connor or Anderson in their first season? I'd rather have depth and there are quality guys inlater rounds.

So that brings me to DT and we all know that fox has said in an interview that he sees that position as one of strength and that he doesn't see the need for change there. Not to mention we basically sunk two draft picks this year in DT's as well as the one last year on Irvin.

So what does this all mean? As much as I hate to say itbut we could be looking at colt McCoy or The Golden Calf of Bristol....ugh that gives me the creeps. But even that option is flawed bc hurney and fox have selected exactly one QB in their time here.

I guess the only thing for sure is that we will either reach for a WR, admit last years bad decision by taking another DE, show no confidence in current LB's by selecting a rookie, invest even more picks in the DT position, or break a trend with QB's. It should be interesting to watch.

panthers will take BPA between DT and WR at #48. pending on which one they take at #48, they'll take the other position and match that one with OL/LB in the 3rd. i don't think they'll have a clear cut player that they'll be looking at till a few picks ahead of them. so their best option is to go with the BPA. it just fits John Fox's and Marty Hurney's philosophy with drafting. but i still really think they'll trade up for someone in the 2nd.

I think they will take BPA period and fill in the missing pieces after the draft. If you listened closely to Hurney that is exactly what he said. He clearly said that they do not plan to focus on needs in this draft nor have they in the past. You will see them take the BPA no matter what position they play.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
