Speaking of Gamecocks, there was some fluff piece on my phone that suggested the Panthers could trade Horn-far apart on a contract--Can't find it-==anybody else hear this?

Naturally Horn wants a mint to stay here.

If mason is there. Run to that podium . Put the card in and then thank jesus for the franchise’s good fortune 

Man I would love to see Dart move up into the top 7.  Sounds crazy right now, but there is always a chance.

I was VERY impressed with Walker, and Joe knows they met at the combine.  I just do not get how any reporter would get info like this 8 weeks before the draft and have the blessing to publish it.  Are they not playing liars dice right now?

fug we have 8 weeks of this poo to go

Joe is completely speculating and he has no more information than the rest of us.  It’s not like those two guys haven’t been mentioned by nearly everyone as targets.

CB will be in the conversation regardless if Will Johnson falls to #8.

Zero chance.  The gap between QB2 and QB3 this draft is about as wide as the Grand Canyon.  I mean, there is always a stupid team that can ultra-reach, fortunately we don't need a starting QB from this draft class.

there is more of a chance that Sanders falls out of the top 8.  Let's have some fun.  Pick the slot you think Dart will go.  I will say 7 to the Jets just for fun--(as I said, it is unlikely, but tell me where the other side of the Grand Canyon is.  We will see who is closest if we both don't forget.

    • 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.
