We could have had Jordan Love and Rashawn Slater in those same drafts without losing more games.  Which would give us a top 10 qb and Lt.  Perhaps we just need to scout and analyze better.  

I'm sorry, this gets me every time

If you're going to argue that we don't scout and analyze talent well, then you should be the type of person screaming for a higher draft pick as the higher you pick, the less chance you have to screw it up with poor scouting, as you have more elite players to choose from.

With every pick later that you draft, your scouting needs to be even better.

This. It's never where we draft, it's our evaluation that stinks.

If I crunched my numbers correctly a Vikings win will bump the Jets SOS to.505. Interestingly, that would be a tie with the Saints.  Not sure how that works, what the next tie break would be.

Edit: Divisional and conference schedules.

In fairness to us, most teams and evaluators are bad at evaluation because its an incredibly difficult thing to do.  The number of players drafted to high or to low every year is large.  Just look at the Bears and Cardinals.

Honestly, I moved to NC around the year 2000, so I don’t remember any panthers history before that. Julius peppers was my first memory of a Panthers draft pick, but I do remember that he had a hell if a name! 

I "kept up" with the Panthers from 95-98 but I was young and had other poo to do. 1999 was the first season I stayed glued to the TV. 

I will say we have had some interesting names over the years. I'm waiting for us to sign Will Clapp just to add to the pool.

Nothing more important than seeing what Bryce has. Now we have some evidence that he can truly be a good starter in the league. I'll take that loss in draft order all day to know i have a qb. You don't have poo in the nfl if you don't have a qb. Playing a season without one is pointless. 

Fair. I was just hoping the Falcons win the coin toss and score on us. Best of both worlds.

We are in the bottom 5% in the Tepper era. That isn't an accident.

      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.
