Ive been hearing the rookie cap wont go into effect till 2012. if no cba is signed and people arent sure about when the rookie cap will be in place nobody in their right mind will be willing to trade to the first pick with such uncertainty.

My guess is they won't go into the draft without some understanding of what to expect in regards to the rookie wage scale and the CBA. If there is confusion I could see them postponing the draft until they have agreed on this.

I could be wrong on this but I can't see either party wanting to hold the draft with such uncertainty.

THIS, and there is too much money tied into it already to postpone the draft...

You're likely gonna have a lockout in March, some kind of deal/arrangement by the draft in April, and then a new CBA by mid to late June... Rookies are likely going to be subject to the lockout as well, and don't typically sign the dotted line until late June/mid July anyways...

totally agree. i see the draft as a catalyst to getting the CBA done. I guess we forget sometimes that the draft is a big money maker for the teams as well. It excites the fanbases and it comes at a time when they start to push for ticket sales for the next season. We might have a new CBA sooner than we think.

Luck NOT coming out really dogged the value of the #1 for Carolina. Most teams know Carolina needs to get a qb.

They also know that Hurney is still the GM and what his tendancies are. I do like the idea of trading down a tad for a dif 1st and maybe another pick OR throw in a solid DL with the trade down and we get help there and still have a high pick.

The challenge now will be getting the proper value for that pick with all the stuff looming.

How does Fairley compare as a prospect to Suh? If there is a Suh type of DT available I think you take, otherwise trade down and get a second rounder.

Fairely can play either the 2 gap nose or the 1 gap NT/UT

he's probably faster than Suh but not enough to offset what a manchild Suh is physically.

Suh is already probably the best DT in the history of the game, so it's hard to compare. Fairley is probably better than McCoy if that means anything.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Some people will shift the goal posts but he does still have to consistently help the team win, eventually. Not only help but be the reason. That's what franchise QB's do.

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      One of the Carolina Panthers' newest defenders thinks their pass rush can go from worst to first. ESPN's David Newton recently chatted with outside linebacker Pat Jones II, who signed with the Panthers as a free agent earlier this offseason. Jones comes over from an awfully impressive Minnesota Vikings defense—one that ranked first in takeaways (33), fourth in sacks (49) and second in QB pressure rate (44.4 percent) this past season. And despite a historically-bad campaign by Carolina's defense in 2024, the 26-year-old seems to believe his new unit can be similar—or even better—than his last. "I definitely think we could do something similar, if not better," Jones said, via Newton. "I've seen it before, so I know what it looks like. I look around the building and see we have exactly what it takes to do that." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/24/panthers-pat-jones-vikings-espn/83840667007/?taid=683219b347846900018fa10a&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter     It's the offseason.  Let hope spring eternal. (actually, I think we are much closer than this board thinks)

      5 total TDs against the Falcons was pretty good efficiency and he showed that ability to go off scripts and get 2 of those TDs rushing.  How many times did he deliver big time throws against pressure.  I agree we need to see this offense operate at high efficiency which starts with Bryce. When he does I hope the goals posts won’t shift to some other stat like QB sneaks lol
