For sure but I would look into it

I'd always look into it. If there's time on the clock and the phone is ringing there's no good reason not to have a conversation. Someone on the other end might be ready to do something stupid. Granted, historically that someone has been us but hey... LOL

Presumed top 10 picks not working out at the Combine has just become standard operating procedure. Sucks, but it is what it is. Not working out hasn't seemed to hurt anyone's stock so until that dynamic changes thats what it's gonna continue to be. They have more to potentially lose than to potentially gain.

The little tape I’ve seen of Bain Jr has been immaculate. Wish we were picking top 10.

Yeah, he looks like a stud. If his arms come in sub-31" that's definitely cause for concern but I still don't see a pass rusher with his game tape falling out of the top 10. Maybe it would keep him from going top 5. Micah Parsons only has 31.5" arms.

The thing I like about Bain is that even if he doesn't work out as an edge rusher, he could easily put on 10-15 lbs and be an awesome 4-3 DT or 3-4 DE. I think he is just too good of a player to bust outright. He will be a contributor.

    • Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .  
    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
