The biggest take away, and Im surprised that no one mentioned it is where they asked Tilis if the reason for the structure of the deals being mostly 2 year deals is because of BY potential contract and he said,

 

"... we didnt think too much about Bryce and where he is, thats still TBD."

I appreciate his candor. Lots to prove this season for a number of guys including our QB. You see what you've got this season and go from there.

Don't overthink it. We can't draft to save our lives in the second round anyways. BPA at 8 and keep it moving.

Panthers' defensive overhaul in free agency means draft flexibility

https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-defensive-overhaul-in-free-agency-means-draft-flexibility

I do not see it this way--we upgraded, but we will need to draft an Edge, WR, DT, CB, S, OT, and maybe a TE.  That is six or seven needs and I don't really see that as flexibility.

I think Dan and Brandt realized they can't fix everything in one offseason and instead they've made several prudent moves to add competent starters and depth pieces. It's the smart long-term play.

That is most likely going to be Ashton Jeanty.  

I think it depends on how they quantify “BPA”.  From a talent, playmaker, insert superlative standpoint I think you may be correct.  If BPA grade takes into account need, positional value and other factors he will not likely be “BPA”.  
 

Not disagreeing with you but when they drop BPA I can’t take it literally.   I thought about creating a topic on different factors that might go into BPA for these guys as I think it might spurn interesting conversation but never got around to it.

Probably more like best defender available.

What if BPA is a long snapper

I think you can leave out special teams based on limited playing time. BPA for a position of need is simply not BPA; it is drafting for need.  The two most likely available players at 8 who are at the top of their position are Jeanty and the LSU tackle.

He said something like the best bplayer that can help us or something to that affect.

We don't have any glaring holes in order to field a team and have flexibility. You can argue what we should do and there are valued arrangements for several positions. Which i believe is evidence they put themselves in a good situation for the draft.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
