(By Darin Gantt, [email protected]) p class=introOne of the best ways to get successful and stay that way is by hitting on your own draft picks, and the Panthers are second-best in the league at that, according to numbers provided by NFL beat writers throughout the league./p p class=introOnly the Green Bay Packers have a higher percentage of their current 53-man roster made up of players they've chosen./p p class=introWhile it's not a certain predictor of success (the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets are doing OK while ranking near the bottom of this category, and Oakland's still a mess despite a lot of picks), the Panthers are among some of the league's most stable teams by virtue of emphasizing the draft./p p class=introIt creates a base of price-controlled labor that doesn't create the year-to-year anxiety of needing to fill holes through free agency./pp/

We did manage to keep a lot of players this year after final cutdowns..which shows they like the guys that they got..last year we had to scramble to find DT help around this time and were making all sorts of adjustments just to get our playing squad.

Either they are just being cheap and don't want to look at the waiver wire..or they really like what we have and have some sort of eye for talent.

In contrast the bills got rid of more then they needed to on cutdown day and shows a team that doesn't like what they saw in training camp..

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
