Watching the highlights since I was working earlier, gotta say this was a good draft. Getting that kind of production pretty much top to bottom is how you build a good roster. T-mac obviously, edge rushers are not blowing minds but doing their jobs, then Evans, Jimmy, Ransom all contributing every week is something we haven't seen from a full draft class in my memory. 

Marty never had a draft like this.

Not as complete and immediately contributing no for sure. 

 

Also to the guys original comment the edge guys are doing enough/more than can he expected from 2nd and 3rd rounders as rookies its a postion that takes 2-3 years to bloom for most guys.

Yeah we are eating off of this draft.
It will be a lot harder to repeat this as the roster improves.  We had a lot of holes and I think that is why some of these guys are contributing. But it is exactly what we needed when we needed it.

I think our success will depend on how deep this draft is for contributors. The last draft was loaded so Dan had more to choose from. I have not looked into this draft other than the qb's. Its going to largely depend on the choices available where we pick.

I don’t know the density of the 2026 draft class either but this last one was a rare draft, how many teams ever get those results? 
If we could get three out of the next one I’d consider it a big win.

It rarely happens. It never happens for the Panthers. We need to get at least 4 contributors from every draft to turn this team around.

It sure is. But its a talent depleted team so they have to go all out to fix it.

And as they successfully raise the talent floor, it gets harder to find a handful of contributors in a given draft. I mean a low talent floor is likely at least partially a factor in so many late rounders getting playing time. 
 

At the same time, players need meaningful reps IN Games, to really develop. A lot of guys don’t get that on better teams. So we could probably develop guys here better than a stacked roster. Lots of variables.

I agree. We have more opportunities for draft picks to contribute earlier. But that's a good problem to have because you can build the team on cheaper salaries for a while if you do it right. If you do you have time to get your cap in order for the future. Dan is struggling with this cap thing but maybe Tillis can work his magic for Dan.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By t96 · Posted

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
