I Think Ashton Jeanty will be the Pick at #8

Brooks has torn his ACL twice and will probably sit out 2025.  He wont be the guy Carolina thought they were drafting for awhile, maybe never.  They can hope for the best but need to prepare for the worst.  They want that 2 punch attack at RB to make it easier on Young.  Jeanty is a special RB and would give Carolina something they dont have much of, speed.  A split backfield with him and Chubba would give defenses nightmares and open up the field for young to pass as defenses stack the line to stop the run.  Carolina needs to draft defense but the draft is loaded with defense this year especially in the later rounds.

lol good one

We have maybe a few starting worthy defensive players and still no #1 WR, but you want us to take a RB, a position we currently have a player with a Top 10 contract at the position?

I get it, you can point to a team like the Lions who have done something similar recently, but they had such a better built out roster when they pulled that trigger to help put them over the top, it's not the pick you make given a team in our current situation.

ONLY way I'm considering Jeanty is if we trade down, pick up an extra future 1st, and then he's still there.  If that happens I'd be more open to considering it, but likely still wouldn't do it anyways.

last RB Hurney drafted, Christian McCaffrey at ....#8.  worked out pretty well.

This kid is no McCaffrey.  He's probably not the best in this class to be honest. Sure he killed it in college but he was nonexistent in the cfp.

Yea that honestly killed it for me.  The draft is way too deep at RB.  But a good troll thread can be fun.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
