Listened to the interview, nothing remarkable - said all the things you'd expect him to say about liking Charlotte, the Panthers, etc...

Was somewhat difficult to understand him, but we don't need him for his public speaking ability.

He wants Panthers fans to follow him on twitter, he's going to start having lots of conversations about the Panthers, his twitter account is "nick_fairley251"

i love people who think trading down is just some magical lever they can pull to drenched in 2nd round picks like slime from you can't do that on television.

Right, in order to trade down you would have to find a team that has absolutely fallen in love with a particular prospect and I don't think there are any prospects in this draft that teams have fallen in love with to the point that they would spend the currency it took to move to # 1.

Who says I want a 2nd? Tell Buffalo at #3 we will switch with them plus their 3rd this year and 3rd next year.

Yeah, it's small compensation compared to other prior trades involving the #1 pick but it is the weakest draft since 2005 and with no CBA in place (yeah, I don't it will happen in the next 3 months) that pick just aint worth as much.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
