19. Carolina Panthers: DI Caleb Banks, Florida

Banks flashed at the Senior Bowl after returning to action for Florida late in the year due to injury. He has the size that NFL teams look for on the defensive interior, and he flashed both as a pass rusher and against the run in college, recording four sacks back in 2024.

I cant say this enough,if this is the best option at 19 motherfuger please trade back.  Please.

Lol, there is no way Arvell Reese ends up going 12th. If so, that is one of the rare circumstances where I would be 100% be all for a trade up.

Reese is an angrier version of Parsons, dude is not quite generational but he steps up to the line

Unless they think we are going to overpay for an LT in free agency I can't take any mock draft that doesn't have us taking a LT in the first 2 picks seriously. 

We've lost Ickey for the year and he'll be due a contract extension or the franchise tag before he plays another snap for us and a patellar tendon rupture is a serious career altering injury for an NFL offensive tackle. There's no guarantee that he'll be able to return to his previous level of performance which even at that level there where people who question if we should commit to him long term.

We also were looking at Moton's replacement last year I remember us being interested in Armand Membou in last year's draft. Moton will be going into his age 32 season and has been having chronic knee issues with an expensive contract so a new RT might be needed sooner rather than later. 

I don't think this team wants to return to the days of "can he play LT". Morgan being a former player has smartly recognized how important having a good Oline is to a team success.

This is NOT the best we can do. I don't know poo about Banks, but only 1 OT has come off the board in this draft. We'd be idiots not to grab our favorite and add cheap youth to our o-line.

      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.
