Honestly, I wouldn't hate any of those guys at the right price.

I don’t see anyone worth paying this year. We aren’t a playoff team and none of these guys are even at an AT or heck Diontae level. No idea if Legette will fulfill his potential but I don’t want Coker or Legette to lose any time to run through a mediocre bunch of vets.

I’d rather go BPA in draft and if there’s a decent potential WR in round 3+, take a rookie. Thielen is still under contract so use our multiple day 3 picks and UDFAs to fill out WRs.

I would rather trade for one than pay bigger bucks in free agency. Deebo went cheap and there are others we could get for a middle round draft pick whose salary for now is doable. As to who that could be I will leave that to others who follow this more than I do.

Having Theilen and Coker makes most of this list not make sense. Maybe we draft an inside receiver, but paying a FA? Nah thanks. We really need a physical Split End, who won’t get bodied by a CB at the line.  Will allow XL to play flanker and move. End arounds, etc. I know it was his first year, but I’m unconvinced that he’s more than a gadget/complementary player. Jumbo Deebo who plays like mini Deebo.

Look Lane, XL is the big bodied receiver. Most competitive teams now have a smaller, fast guy. We should look at Dyami Brown.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
