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 tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is giving up a 4th rounder for a backup QB And anyone who needs a starter badly enough to where Bryce would then be their starter, is such a bad team that they're not giving up a pick likely to be about pick 105ish overall, instead of just dealing with a bad QB situation for a season and then drafting one in a loaded QB draft next year. I'm looking through all the teams right now and can't think of a single one that would be willing to part with anything better than a 6th rounder. Barring injuries (and excluding the Panthers), there look to be 10 teams who don't know with 100% certainty who their starting QB will be in 2027... Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Steelers, Vikings, Colts, Saints, Falcons, Cardinals, and Rams. Of those 10...  The Rams know it will be Stafford or Simpson.  The Saints more than likely will be sticking with Shough unless he takes a huge step backwards.  So neither are giving up any draft picks for Bryce right now, just wouldn't make sense for either. Down to 8 Given their current QB situation of having multiple QBs they already need to evaluate between this year, the Browns (Shedeur/Watson), Vikings (Kyler/JJ), Colts (Jones/Richardson/Leonard), and Falcons (Penix/Tua), wouldn't be giving up a 4th (or maybe any pick) to bring in another QB to muddy the waters even more. Down to 4 Dolphins just signed Willis and wouldn't want to bring in another small Alabama QB who has struggled after just dumping Tua instead of just rolling with Ewers as the backup.   That then leaves the Steelers, Cardinals, and Jets left as it's clear none of them have any idea who their 2027 could be as of right now.  But the Steelers would for sure rather just see what one of the 2 QB's they drafted in the last 2 drafts could become than give up a mid round pick for Bryce.  Same goes for the Cardinals in taking Beck this past weekend. The Jets would be the most likely team to even consider taking him on, but I think it seems very apparent right now given them rolling with Geno and now talk of bringing in Wilson to be his backup, they're punting on QB this year to draft someone next year, so why give up even a mid round pick for Bryce?

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By strato · Posted

      Honestly I am not sure Pickett couldn’t step in for him. But I don’t see a clear easy upgrade and we are not KC with Alex Smith we are a team that hadn’t done poo for almost ten years and just made the playoffs. And looked good in the game. That stadium atmosphere on that day…. you know Tepper ate that poo up. Not one drink has been thrown in a while.  You had better make sure if you replaced him after that that you had a sure fire upgrade.

      Makes sense. If Bryce is ass this year, we are probably drafting our new QB next draft and sitting him behind Bryce for a year
