Cignetti is too old to be an NFL coach, nor should he really bother. He probably would have been a good one but he toiled away in lower level CFB for too long to be on NFL radars.

It's especially unlikely because he has never had any NFL experience of any sort.

I didn't know that either.

My sources are getting weak it seems. One thing they harped on was he had his team READY. Plus he's always under talented, but magic beans or whatever he gets the wins.

I've only started, like 4 hours in draft pool...I still have my floaties on....

Thus far, huge help for the Panthers that I feel with 80% certain, in their first three picks will be a great group of OTs and edges. LB feels good too, even if you wait like I prefer. 

I know this too, whatever formula/stats/guts/voodoo/pay-offs Panthers used for the 2025 drafting(plus the great UDFAS....) Just repeat that this year and I think you will land 2 starters in the first 4 picks along with decent depth.

A big portion of needs/wants match this draft class. 

I maybe too positive tho....

Edge is extremely weak this year, on paper. Very, very thin class.

OT looks very good, maybe one of the deeper classes in a few years.

We have to do well in the draft/offseason again or it will be a slide backwards.

The college football to NFL jump is the biggest in all major sports. It's incredibly difficult.

Especially with zero NFL experience.

well thats the curve then-

1st- edge

2nd- OT (I've seen plenty on 10+ mocks)

3rd- LB/BPA

Im sure they'd give him enough $$$

BPA across the board. Hyperfocusing on positions for each round is a good way to have a Gettleman/Fitterer/Morgan disaster draft.

Brady isn't hiring a college coach.

This QB draft looks very weak.

Moore, Mestermaker and maybe Maiava are NFL caliber guys.  The rest of that bunch are Day 2 to UDFA guys.

Shades of 2025. Everyone claiming it to be a strong draft based on guys that returned to school in a weak QB draft.

That's the draft you posted to an absolute T.

Some guys could go back, BUT outside out Lagway and Sellers, this is a solid crop. Please see my previous post about guys smartening up to being a top 5 pick.  Is it better to be a top 5 pick or top 15 pick?  Think real hard about this.  Actually it shouldn't be all that hard. Mark my words, the 2027 QB draft will be EPIC! Why?  Dudes will be fighting for QB 3-4-5.  They are not dumb jocks anymore.  With agents and financial advisors, they realize going to a sh1t franchise ruins your career faster than going to a middling team.

Manning, Raiola and Sayin are Day 3 guys. That's a very weak group, IMO.

This is the same tired crap that has been being pushed for the past few years. Most of these big classes have fizzled even before the draft. 2026 is a prime example.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option s a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The patter it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.

      Dude, I'm saying the Cardinals have proven they know nothing. Not saying keeping Bryce is the best choice long term, just saying that we've made the right move for this moment in time.  But man, the Cardinals are never a blueprint for success. Haven't been since they were in Chicago.
