So the @Titans have respectfully cancelled private workouts with Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, making it all but official they will take Cam Ward No. 1. And now I’m starting to hear more and more about Hunter to Cleveland at No. 2. That would mean Abdul Carter vs. Shedeur Show more

Carter to 3, would cause the trade calls to light up. I don't see giants and Carter a match. They already have too much invested at edge. 

 

The gamblers called this days ago. 

 

It still feels like ward, Carter, and hunter will be the first 3 picks.

It seems the only way we don't draft Walker is if Graham somehow falls.  Outside of that, might as well FedEx that man a Panthers jersey now.

Well, there's always the chance that Walker goes before us. I don't expect it but I wouldn't be completely shocked either.

Walker going before #8 will not happen, 99.99% sure of it.  I would be completely shocked.  Then again I would love it because that would mean someone else would fall.

*Edit: I went to see where Walker was selected in 350 professional mocks (back to mid February) going higher than #8 and it was RARE.  The few instances I found were older and a few time to the Jags, Raiders and Jets each.

Do the Raiders now have adults in the room or are they and the Jets both wildcards?

Raiders are the only wildcard.  Jets are going Warren or OT BPA with an outside chance of Tet.  They are drafting someone to help out the QB, period, either in pass pro or a receiving outlet. Raiders are looking hard at Jeanty, but no telling what they do.

The OTs and Sanders are the big wildcards IMO.

There will be an early run on OTs, IMO.  Sanders falls.  How far?  How about I'm seeing recent mocks having the Steelers drafting Dart at #21 WITH Sanders still on the board.  I'm telling you, I saw just some snippets of Sanders Pro Day and it looked like he was throwing a medicine ball instead of a football.  Very little zip and the ball looked oversized/cumbersome to throw.

I would be fine with Jalon Walker at 8 in that scenario but would hope we get some good offers to trade back for teams wanting Sanders, Tet, or Warren. 

I'm not sold on Walker.  I don't dislike the kid, but I think #8 is too high for him.

    • If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for. 
    • The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
