We're not contending in his rookie season. So I guess it depends on how valuable he would be to the future of the organization.

Just saying it's something to consider when drafting. He would not help the defense this year so you still need help while your 1st round pick recovers. I'm not sure Tepper has the stomach for that.

If he has surgery he's not playing his rookie season. 

Virtually no chance of that. It's generally a 3-4 month process if surgery is required. Half of that if surgery is deemed unnecessary. I doubt he'll get surgery before the draft but if a team that drafted him deemed surgery was necessary he'd probably have it shortly after the draft. That would make his expected return sometime around mid-August to mid-September so he'd definitely miss all off-season activities and most of not all of training camp. I'd probably expect him to start out on the PUP list while he gets up to speed and be active starting game 5. If surgery is deemed unnecessary he'd be ready for camp.

No to pre injured players. At least early

To get that type of talent at #8 you need an extenuating circumstance. That's how Star fell to us. The "heart issue" scared some teams off. This isn't an ACL or an Achilles. But potentially missing camp and getting off to a slow start could potentially move some teams off of him.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By Shotgun · Posted

      Also comparing the first 12 picks to the  rest of the draft is a silly comparison, 12 chances vs 245 chances to hit on a player.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By 45catfan · Posted

      The NFL is about parity.  There are few teams in the upper tier and a few bottom dwelling teams every season, every other team is in the middle. This version of the Panthers can be a fringe playoff team if, BIG IF, things goes their way.  First off health.  This goes for every team. It takes a special club to overcome a rash of injuries and still get into the playoffs.  Secondly, timing.  The Panthers have to catch a good team on a short week, with key injuries or some disruption to their team dynamic--like a dome team in the rain, for example.  Lastly, luck.  In order for the Panthers to get over the hump, things have to go their way in 2-3 games.  Things like a controversial call in our favor,  a DC going into prevent defense most of the 4th quarter, a fortunate (for us) turnover by the opposition while trying to seal a win etc...  This will be the difference in a 6 win Panthers team and 9 win squad this season.  I can't see us lower than 6 wins (short of the wheels completely falling off) because they roster has been getting better or higher than 9 wins simply due to Bryce's ceiling.

      Off Season topic: What Panthers question do you have that you know will never be answered?

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I'm not questioning who was better or worse. I'm saying Moore was handed the keys and was trash. Clausen wasn't a Fox pick and Fox didn't want to play him but Moore sucked in Weeks 1-2 and Fox had to turn to Clausen for a while. Doesn't mean Moore wasn't given the starting job; he absolutely was and he absolutely got the most reps throughout camp.
