Not sure why expectations were so high of him. 

He is talented.   He is capable.   I knew he wouldn't come in here and become a starter without injury. 

Players need development.  

I didn't expect him to be a superstar, but haven't seen the development in the second year, at all

He was a much more complete player.  That is development.

I think this next year- year 3- is an important year for him. 

Also depends on how the offense uses him.

Daniel Jeremiah's top 50 players heading into the Combine.  Lol at the people still pining for Styles.  Dude will be LONG gone before our slot as I noted he would be.  Go ahead a keep drafting him at #19 if y'all want to keep ruining/making unrealistic mock drafts.

There is not a universe that Bailey is a better prospect than Reese.  And if we are being honest Styles is probably a better football player he just doesnt rush the passer as much

Bailey is a better pure EDGE rusher.  Splitting hairs though, because they are ranked right next to one another; they could easily be flip-floppled.  Bailey is another one I thought would fly up the rankings and he has.  Remember, it was just a month ago he in range for us to pick.  That's the reason I stopped mocking him, along with Styles.

An example of what we need in bpa.But to your point if the room is full the value isnt the same.Need creates value.

Yep and that is why teams have different boards.  
 

I would refine the lower valued position limitation mentioned here to the bottom quarter or third of the first round. There are a lot of really good players at these low value positions taken from right around where we pick and later. All positions I guess. 

For us, some highlights 

Gamble @ 28

Beason @ 25

Kelvin Benjamin and DJ Moore went late too but man I’d be fine with trading aback a little and getting a Beason level player.

I'm seeing a lot of projections with the team drafting Keldric Faulk from Auburn with the 19th pick. Am I the only one not liking that pick? Everyone is saying he has potential this and that, but I'm not convinced that his numbers (2 sacks) will suddenly get unleashed on the pro level.

I don’t generally research these guys very hard anymore but I have seen some mocks where he would be long gone by 19.  I think I saw people saying he was a very stout run defender, and would likely pick up a few sacks. No big numbers.

Does he fit in a 4-3?  I dont think he does

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
