While lots of fans are talking about franchising Peppers and trading him in order to get something .

What about Gross ?

Gross has not signed ,and if Panthers franchise Peppers ,Gross could turn down all offers and walk . With nothing in return.

Gross leaves

Peppers gets Franchised and traded

Now PANTHERS have $$$$$$$ of cap money

Gross may not want to get signed ,

So in theory Panthers could easily lose both

This is actually something to think about. While I too think Gross will be signed, if he isn't and the Panthers find this out early and they need to tag one of the two and trade them who do you tag and trade? IMO you tag and trade Gross. Where I doubt any team will give up 2 1st round picks for Pep I think multiple teams would give up that much for Gross. Propably not the better player but he has more value right now.

Depends on whether the draft/free agent class is deeper in tackles or DEs. My sense is it's the former but I could be wrong.

Being forced to use the franchise tag on Peppers would all but guarantee that Gross gets the contract he wants, or at least close to it.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
