I didn't know that Anderson performed surgery on Demaryius Thomas' foot.

"Dr. Robert Anderson, an orthopedic surgeon for the Carolina Panthers, removed bone marrow from Thomas' hip and injected it into the area of the fracture, which was repaired with a pin. A few days after that, Thomas flew to Indianapolis for the Combine, hobbling his way around on crutches."

Will history repeat itself? ;)

Like I said in the draft forum, if the picks remain as they currently are, Bryant will be the only receiver taken in the first round.

Even then, some teams will make the safe pick at CB or OL, instead of risk the drama...

Sure, Braynt, Tate, and Thomas could all be gone by the end of the first... But this is a passing leage for most defenses, and there are a lot of teams in the mid to late first that would spring on a CB over a WR... Owens and a handful of role players are still floating around out there, whereas a lot of the DB FA well is now dry...

Even with his issues, someone will take a chance with Bryant if he slips down into the 20s imo.

The only thing that worries me is if guys like Tate, Thomas, and Benn ARE still around in the second, they'll be scooped up by the teams at the top fairly quickly. I don't even know if trading with KC would get us Thomas or Tate.

at this point, I am fairly certain it would... A lot of teams see the depth of the class and the talent that is going to be available early to mid third, and will address other needs first...

just my opinion, and I hope it holds true for the Panthers..

    • 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. . 
    • 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
