Picking a te in the first round is a wasted pick.  Picking one in the top10 is trying to be a poverty franchise.  Dont overthink this go defense

If the dude can be a true #1 option, and I think he can be, then it's not a wasted pick or trying to be a poverty franchise. It's taking a game changer, which the Panthers need.

Since 2000 24 tight ends have been drafted in the first round.  4 in the top ten.   By all means please tell me which te was worth taking from that list.   Yeah I thought so.

 

If we take a te at pick 8 there the fans should burn ericsson stadium to the ground

I have been saying if McMillian was there at 8 I would take him for weeks.

Higgins is the better option but he really has little reason to want to come here unless we are willing to outbid the entire rest of the NFL.

 

Dang I always get you and John snow mixed up, sorry bro. Getting a pass catcher is the smartest play the Panthers can make. That means either draft Tmac at #8 or draft defense stud at 8 and hope a stud TE falls to 57(its very possible). In either case, use the remaining picks on D and add one RB(deep class) in 4th or 5th. That's the solution and best out come. If both those paths fail, you can not do wrong by going full BPA, they need everything and depth everywhere...

Vernon Davis jumps off the list and Kellen Winslow was pretty good. But let's take a look at the other top ten guys. Since I haven't seen most of these guys play because I haven't paid attention to non Panther games in years, I'll look at stats and games played.

Pitts? Great rookie year, one injured year, and two iffy years. I'd say he hasn't been worth a top ten pick.

Hockenson? Lots of injuries but has gotten better every year until this past season. I'd say worth the pick.

Ebron? Injured and never really produced for Detroit. Not worth the pick.

Davis? As I said, jumps off the list and more than worth the pick.

Winslow? Worth the pick.

If you look at the rest, it's a mix like every other position with several guys that will probably end up in the HOF such as Miller, Lewis, and Clark. That's if they're not already in it.

I think Warren is one of the few first round talents in this draft. This draft seems really light at the top, but good for overall depth. And Lord knows, good depth will be starters on this roster.

This is also one of the deepest positions in this draft, so unless he is Bowers 2.0, it's probably a bad pick.

There has to be no question he is an elite TE.

Otherwise you look as foolish as Atlanta did with Pitts.

Winslow was worth a top 10???

He is right, the history of top 10 TE's is pretty bad.

Warren has improved a lot over his time at PSU and made a massive leap this past season while shouldering the load of their offense. So yeah, he looks to be an elite TE prospect. And that's all you can go by until he starts playing in the NFL.

Yeah, mostly because of injuries. But I'm sure that could be said for the majority of picks regardless of position.

I’m with you here.  He played at the highest levels of college and shined brilliantly.  There’s no better indicator of being NFL ready.  Sure it’s not 100%, but that doesn’t exist.

Look at it this way.  He made people think Drew Allar could play QB.

No, it's mainly just poor evaluation.

The league's elite TE's are are heavily represented by non-1st round players. 

In a draft where TE is so deep, I would say TE at 8 is unwise because there doesn't seem to be a truly elite guy.

I feel the same about DE/Edge.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
