I feel like this front office has lost it's fuging mind.

It’s important to remember no one in this building has proven yet that they’re even close to competent when it comes to the draft.

I think Dave can coach. 5 wins with last years group is a true miracle, and they went toe to toe with the Chiefs and Eagles.

But last years class looks like a total flop right now. Not a one of them has come even close to demonstrating they can be even an average starter in this league. With the evidence we have to work with, there’s zero reason to think they’re going to do a good job this weekend.

Yeah, it basically feels likes Marty Hurney minus the slam dunk 1st round picks which basically equals just straight up trash. LOL

It’s truly remarkable how bad our draft was last year. Dan Morgan could’ve just showed up without any preparation and picked “Mel Kipers best available” at each pick slot and had better success

Definitely possible they have several prospects that could potentially make sense for us. 

they had a top 30 visits w/ 3 of them.  And then there are couple more defensive front 7 players that could make sense on top of them. 

and I'm firmly of the belief we have to have some long time scout that cover that team that is a heck of a salesman of his work vs others in house.  We sure do hit that well pretty often vs the entire power 5.

I actually think last year's class has more potential than our last several. Granted, that factors in Jalen Coker who was a UDFA, but still. If XL can stop trying to catch rodents long enough to learn how to catch footballs there is potential in last year's class. I think Sanders will be a solid TE and Wallace has flashed at ILB. Smith-Wade has potential as well.

I just don't like what I'm hearing about the players we seem to be enamored with relative to where we would be picking them. Donovan Ezeiruaku is a player I like, but not in the top-10 or even top half of the 1st round. That's the kind of player you take after trading down into the 20s. Water Nolen is a great player, but has significant character red flags. Mykel Williams is the definition of traits over performance.

I fear we're about to make a big mistake in the 1st round tomorrow night.

I’ve said this time and time again. Using any consensus board in the world we start last years class with Ladd McConkey and Cooper DeJean.

That does increase odds in your favor a bit. I'm not sure I can take that bet without at least a list of players that are possible picks in that range.

Sanders - DT

Burch - DT/EDGE

Kennard - EDGE

Knight - LB

Hemmingway - DT

That's 5 defensive front 7 players projected around rounds 2-4.   A lot of it depends on what happens w/ the first pick.   But the defensive front 7 is the red circle on the team I think Morgan will over draft this time over better players.   I'll make a name prediction on which one after they make their Thursday night pick. 

and the Panthers for whatever reason, go to the Gamecock well more than any other University I think in all of college football.

      I’m guessing both.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
