Don't think we fuged up at all. We need an X WR. You can not sign one in FA, trading for any of them worth a damn is too costly. You basically have to draft one. 

 

Big fan of this move. There were major questions marks with any defensive prospect we took at 8

I still don’t get the love for Jalon Walker.  In my opinion it was somewhat sheep mentality following what every one else wanted for us.  I like the kid and think he’s an overachiever but his production was not top 10 worthy. I could only see him as a rotational piece with Wonnum, Clowney and Patrick Jones. Walkers range was 15 to 25 in my opinion. Glad we stuck to our board.

I think he is a scheme specific fit. I didn't think that fit was with Evero.

Their history of failure drafting edge rushers is working against them but the fact that lots of Panthers fans wanted Walker and we passed with a division rival drafting him it just feels destined that he's the next coming of LT. LOL

Watch some UGA games and see who jumps off the screen on D.

they paid a heavy heavy price in a draft that is flat talent wise at dline after the first few picks. I would argue they didnt get great value and Pearce will neve live up to his price.

Scoring and Front-7 is what gets you to win games. We still needed firepower. 

Regarding McMillan - where I’m at is getting excited. Many were willing to take gambles on front-7 guys with serious question marks whether physically, skill wise or off the field concerns.

And if a guy has the elite hands and plays well in traffic, that helps with the separation. He’s not as physical as London but he’s got some finesse to his game. Played super well in a crazy year for that program and poor QB play. I think he has a really high floor, interested to see how good he could be.

Pearce Jr is going to be a bust. I cant believe they gave up their 1st next year for him. Walker will probably be a menace against us an average player overall in my opinion

I have seen a few UGA games and I like him a lot.  Walkers size against elite NFL tackles create questions. Questions that made me uncomfortable. I don’t think you should draft question marks in the top 10. If you have another player with a similar grade, take the other player. 

 

I am a little nervous about Walker and Pearce going to the Falcons. Seems like our luck they will ball out.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
