Official...DaQuan Bowers bandwagon!

??? Really what happen to Andrew Luck Bandwagon. I've see Bowers play some. He is impressive. But not worth wasting a number 1 overall on. We easly pick up a good pass rusher in FA. Our needs is more at WR and QB and DT right now. But Bowers can become a good pass rusher in the future. But not worth a number 1 unless we trade our number 1 and go down some for more draft picks.

Sidenote. You can get Bowers and have Johnson on the otherside and get a few stud DTs in FA and we got a solid linebacker core already and a good secondary. It wouldn't matter much unless you had a good QB who can move a offense down the field and score. Because sooner or later the D get tired and gets destroyed. Luck first choice and Bowers down the line. We ain't really in no big need for a stud DE right now.

I would struggle mightily to convince myself to support spending our first pick on anything but the offensive side of the ball. Our D, for what it was, could have been MUCH worse. I'm not sure the same can be said for our offense which, in order to be worse, would have to have played with mono while blindfolded all year.

Well even tho I'm not completely on board with the Luck idea yet. We need Luck more right now then Bowers. We have a decent D already. We can build our D in the FA market by find a 2 stud DTs and getting a good CB as a starter the otherside of Gamble. Our oline,WR core and our main problem is QB postion that needs addressing first thing.

    • Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances. 
    • If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
    • I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
