Yeah I remember hearing that about him. Just wished change that way we draft. Stop taking raw projects (Trevin, XL) instead take proven players 

Yeah, I still think Morgan is basically Fitterer in the draft and closer to a real GM with pro personnel evals. 

I mean, last year's draft was so insanely bad.

theres really no other way to spin it

From leading up to the actual draft (telling XL that he is the pick) to brooks, to Wallace its just hard to see much light in their strategy. Hopefully Morgan has learned but I kindof doubt it.

This is a bad draft to fug up. The pool of players with first round talent is very small. It's a draft loaded with 2nd and 3rd round grade guys. 

Not a ton of room for error.

I have heard of Player/coaches before.  Player/GM?

I think this is a need area, but with the DL play last season, it is hard to gauge.  Wallace is decent to good, Jewell is old and was never elite.  I like Stutsman (??) from Oklahoma.  He is third round on the sites I reference. 

I met Shaq when he was a rookie and he was small--not thick.  I think his body has to be telling him it is time to leave.  He won't be worth the money he will want to return, I assume.

It's been said - Jewell & Wallace are our ILBs  

Long shot Shaq returns on a cheap deal to backup (or maybe start?..but I doubt it with him being a long timer/Evero never being the guy to pick him). See us signing a new FA or drafting another one in the mid rounds for depth.  

And unless we offload, Clowney & Wonnum are the OLBs (and hopefully Pearce/Green/etc via R1). DJJ will still be dicking around as well.

If we sit at 8 and take a Safety like I keep seeing on the mock simulators and then don't pick again til 57 it'll be a rough one. I know they can't force anyone to trade up but it'd be nice to pick up an extra 2nd to move back a little and try to fill a few holes on defense. We need guys everywhere on D but I'd much rather double up on D-line guys mid 1st-mid 2nd than grab a S or CB at 8

Sucks that the positions we drafted last year early on (RB and LB) are still areas of need. 
 

What about WR? People keep saying we need to get Bryce McMillan because the Legett pick is starting to look like another bust. I'm willing to give him another year but don't sell Morgan short. His first draft sucked even more than your post suggests.

I totally agree. Meant to put WR as well but forgot. Dan Morgan’s 2024 draft is arguably the worst of any team in the NFL. It’s very frustrating seeing players who would’ve been perfect for us perform for other teams while we consistently pick duds that none of us wanted pre draft.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
