I'm very iffy on paying Jevon Holland big money. He's a good young player, but is he worth elite safety money? I can't help but think that money would be better spent elsewhere.

Milton Williams I am fully on-board with bringing in. If we can somehow land Mason Graham in the draft and pair him with Williams and Derrick Brown that would be a terrifying front-3.

Spending mega bucks in free agency for a second straight season would be a bad sign.

I think they will go after a S and I predicted Milton Williams weeks ago--and I don't have a podcast or blog, just comes natural--I learned that the more you predict, the more you are right!.  Seriously, and I agree that two years of free agent dumpster diving is not good, but with multiple needs at S and DL, I think we have to go there.  Expect $20m to Williams, I have not researched the Safeties he mentioned.

Last year we need a g and Hunt was probably the top free agent at G.  We went after him on the first day of free agency tampering period.  I think we take the same approach to Williams--which means top dollar.  Of course, I imagine the Eagles will see if they can keep him--not sure what the story is there.

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
