Joe Person: “It might not be at 8, but my sense is the #Panthers will find another pass catcher for (Bryce) Young fairly early in the draft”

I wouldn't hate T-Mac or Warren at #8. Not necessarily my preference but I wouldn't hate it.

#57? Maybe Higgins? Jalen Royals?

3rd round? Maybe Tai Felton? Jalin Noel?

I think CSU's Tory Horton is being slept on big time. He put up big time numbers the previous two years but missed most of this season with an injury. Out of sight out of mind. He ran a 4.41 40 with a 37.5" vertical at the Combine at 6' 2.5" 196.

I would draft T-Mac before Warren.  I think he has a higher floor, which I believe is a starting WR.  Is Warren gonna be able to be effective if he's manned up in the NFL?  Seemed like he feasted on zone in college.

But maybe we'll end up trading up in the 2nd rather than taking an offensive player in the 1st.

I like Warren but I honestly think he's a little overrated. Brock Bowers at UGA looked like a man among boys in college. Like Gronk. Running past, through, over everybody while Moss'ing dudes. Warren isn't that. He's catching a bunch of balls while blanketed. I don't see him beating a lot of tight man coverage. Maybe it won't matter. Jason Witten is an all-time great TE and did that his entire NFL career. He didn't wow with anything, he just found ways to catch balls and move the chains over and over again for years by doing everything textbook.

Yeah XL, old AT, and Coker isn't a great WR room.  Even if XL takes the next step in development, AT is probably done after this year. TE seems to be banking on developing some of their young talent in Sanders and Tremble as well.  

Outside of trading for an established guy or lucking out and getting a ladd type at 57, then I think this is the best its going to get for 2025.  They best pray that XL takes a huge step because those wrs are not scaring anyone.  I really dont see a guy we can get late in the 2nd thats going to have an substantial impact for next season.  The DJ moore trade is still haunting us.  So fuging stupid by fitt and crew

My thinking on all of this is: the Panthers know they need another weapon for bryce. This FA period SUCKED for needing a WR, I mean NE who is more desperate for WR and had cap space for days just had to overpay for a washed Stefon Diggs. 

They looked into DK but it was too expensive. 

So they used their FA to try and fix the defense as best as possible. 

Now at 8 they know none of the WRs are worth that pick, but maybe in a trade down or in the second we could be cooking

I was thinking a trade down option (providing a team would actually trade up).  You can probably get a decent slot WR to learn the ropes behind AT in rounds 2/3.  That's kind of what we need anyway.  XL as our X, Coker as our Z, and AT/rookie as the slot.  Coker could move to slot and rookie could take over Z as well.  DC and his OC both have WR coach backgrounds.  I'm hoping they know what they are doing as far as looking for and developing WRs.  Coker looked impressive as an undrafted rookie with limited reps.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By firefox1234 · Posted

      I’ve seen mock drafts have us picking the OSU DT Kayden McDonald. If he is BPA I’m for it. I still remember the days we had Short and Star anchoring our DLine on the best Panther defense. https://catcrave.com/panthers-forecasted-baffle-fans-with-first-round-decision-2026-nfl-draft

      Not the best year to need a HC. I haven't heard much about the Texans DC getting any looks

      I have not seen a good fit yet as a HC hire. Honestly, Saleh is probably the best one and that’s not saying much. Miami- Hired a DC with an average defense. Check the rest of his resume. It also doesn’t solve your main problem at QB with Tua/Ewers, etc. Clear downgrade from Mike McDaniel. The owner obviously thought he had a shot at Harbaugh and fired McDaniel to throw his hat in, Waller has an interview that gives the impression of this. Atlanta- Stefanski has won like 6 games in 2 years. Carried a few years ago by his defense. Defense has gotten older and he got exposed. Brought into Atlanta with a DC he didn’t hire. No idea what they are going to do at QB, no 1st round pick, a lot of resigning. Oh and their Dan Morgan/John Lynch/ John Elway guy is Matt Ryan who has not worked in the front office at all. At least Dan was a scout, director, asst GM, etc. New York-Not bad really but he’s only going to be as good as his OC. Joe Schoen is still the guy getting your talent, and good luck playing Dak Prescott, The Eagles D, and Jayden Daniels 6 times per year with the NY media writing about everything you’ve done wrong. Tennessee- meh. Probably should have gotten an OC to develop Ward but Saleh can at least make this team aggressive and physical again. I doubt many wanted the job. If Saleh fixes the culture and gets a decent play caller he will be okay. The GM there seems promising. If I had to rank the rest of the openings I’d say: 1-Pittsburgh: Enough talent to be competitive. Have some things to fix at key positions but long history of success and winning is in that building. Plus, you get Baltimore and Cleveland twice per year (I’ll get to that). 2-Baltimore: What in the ever living hell makes you think it’s time to walk away from Harbaugh. He didn’t leave like Tomlin, you fired him then the owner joked about it at the press conference. Who did you ever think you were going to get better than him. Somebody to support Lamar? Like drive him to the practices he never attends? 3-Buffalo I mean you get Josh Allen but they promoted Beane to be their Morgan and if you watched the Press Conference today the owner made Tepper look like Arthur Blank. Basically said he fired McDermott just over losing to the Broncos. Beane got up there and poo on a few players. The two leading candidates are Joe Brady, your current OC and Brian Daboll, your former OC who just got done running a circus on the other side of the state. Like the Ravens, who did you think you would get that was better? 4-Las Vegas Spytek seems competent as a GM and Brady is in the building but there is a real stink culture built into that organization that somebody is going to eventually have to fix. It seems like everyone that gets close (Gruden, Carroll, Pierce) gets fired. At least you have a shot with a potential Franchise QB in Mendoza. 5-Arizona Gannon just collapsed. Don’t know what happened, but it seems like Kyler is gone with no real plan in place. Maybe resign Brissett? Maybe take another down year and just rebuild the roster? Who really knows. I don’t see them having any shot landing a big fish, I honestly forget they don’t have a HC half the time. 6-Cleveland There’s a reason McCarthy and McDaniel turned them down. Still have Watson on the books. Have to deal with the Shaduer fans and haters. Aging defense. Don’t imagine Schwartz will stay on as DC if he is turned down, so there that goes. Honestly, I think Schwartz by the only guy that wants the job.
