Hate to break it to ya but the Redskins, Lions and Chiefs also could use upgrades at LT.

A recent mock i seen has Trent Williams and Eric Berry being the best players available at your pick. The Chiefs take Buluga and the Redskins take Okung. You could switch those two but your still missing out on a tackle that early. Honestly i see Charles Brown as someone they would have their eyes on. Tell me what you would think of this first round. Eric Berry and Charles Brown.

I haven't seen Charles Brown's name come up...I am ok with Berry though. And ya, I am pretty sure we are out of luck for a premium LT as well. There was another post talking about Washington having a surprise pick maybe....guess we'll all find out in a few hours!

I agree with you about trading down. If you could steal a top LT at #6 and then parlay #14 into a few 2nd's or 3rd's you would make out like bandits.

I just don't see us trading into the mid-1st round, maybe 25-32, but I give that about a 15% chance of happening.

It just seems like it'll take too much to get up there and we don't have much to offer. Unless there is a guy with a 1st round grade that we absolutely covet that drops to the late 1st round, you won't be hearing from us tonight. Hurney probably sees it as being too much of a risk to give up multiple picks for one guy this year unless he's a lock to produce.

carolina does have the resources...it's called a RB.

i had a dream that the panthers traded half of double trouble to move up and pick up a stud defensive lineman.

lol good thing it was just a dream, if your a fan, y would u want us to lose a star to draft a possible bust? and before anybody says we need a d-line prospect, how about letting r d-line play this year and then evaluate their play??? it's so fuging annoying the lack of faith some so called fans have in r team

a dream has nothing to do with my faith in the team.

i do have faith in hurney's almost uncanny ability to avoid first round draft busts, and in his guts to pull the trigger on anything that will overall make the team better regardless of how weak/bad the move looks now.

if it happens, it happens. if it doesn't, oh well.

my purpose for mentioning the dream is simply for fun.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
