anybody got receipts on the board that wanted him here?

I seriously doubt it.  The only close to good things I remember about him on this board was just after he was drafted most people were hoping he would develop which applies to all draft picks. It’s been all downhill since that point.

I know you think you're being funny, but seriously, if we didn't have so many problems on defense that guy would absolutely be a candidate at 8.  He's a really, really good player and would give us a legit WEAPON at TE.  Sanders is great downfield - no doubt - but Warren actually blocks.  He's not a GREAT blocker, but he gives excellent effort.  And as a receiver . . . man, he just makes plays.

I don't see us pulling the trigger, especially with Sanders on the roster and Tremble returning.  But Warren is worthy of a top 10 pick.

Warren is BPA and we are devoid of talent in a lot of places, not just defense. Reaching for need at 8 is a horrible policy. 
 

Draft Warren. Take Skattebo in the 4th. Everyone else can be defensive picks. I want to see Tyler Warren and Cam Skattebo line up to run the Panther Prowl from the 1 yard line, with no one able to stop it, ever.

Wanted Ian here? Not exactly, but some thought he was a steal at the top of the 4th round.  See if this sounds familiar?  Tall, athletic, big build, but a raw prospect that needs to be coached up reach the potential he didn't achieve in college. He was meant to be a Panther...it was written in the stars.  So much so, they couldn't part ways with him until it was absolutely certain he couldn't be anything more than a TE3.

Ian Thomas has a very specific talent and anyone who has worked in the corporate world has seen it: He's an unseen survivor -- that lower end management guy who just goes meeting to meeting, coffee mug in hand, takes some notes, says little and hangs on through re-org after re-org, survives every downsizing and somehow just keeps stays on the payroll. 

Dude certainly hasn't had a Hall of Fame career, but he's hopefully generated a generational changing wealth for his family. Good luck to him in Las Vegas, may he get five more years there.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
