No matter how good you are in Free Agency, you can't be a sustainable and SB contending team without drafting well, and that goes beyond the 1st round.

Of course, you build through the draft, but you don't reach for players when you have most of you issues addressed in free agency.  

When you go BPA, you should get quality players every time.

He had a great draft last year.

That is the key--however, as it looks right now, we have to take LT. That could change, and I am sure Morgan is working on it.

I love our last draft and hopefully some of them step up even more in 2026. I am looking forward to see how Cam Jackson improves.  Seems he did ok in his limited time at the end of the season.

You might be right, but as you said I am sure Morgan is working hard on LT.

And he had a week old roach coach sushi draft in 24'. Either one could be the norm and the other the anomaly. Let's not crown him as a draft god quite yet.

You should replace that 7(240) LB Michael Barrett with starting CB Mike Jackson

For as good the 2025 draft class was, the 24 one is the opposite .....

There's still time and Coker did come from 24, just not having the 1st rounder hurt being Dan's first pick was a trade up to 32. 

Brooks has talent and recently ran 21 MPH. Just too many ifs and maybe....sanders, Wallace flirts with good play and then get injuries. CSW is being talked of moving to S,ST,___. Crumedy gone and barret was in a near Greg Olson like trade haul.....

Saying he had a good year last year is not crowning him.  I think he learned from his mistakes, but most GMs are failures regarding the draft.  I don't know why drafting players who can contribute is so difficult.

I'd be concerned if his 2nd draft was worse than his first. He's learning,  getting better.   One more 25- like class and we're close to a viable core.

He did redeem himself, big time. 

One spot he's done great in the UFDA pool, here's a list of found players- Coker, Fitz, Thor, harrsion-hunte, Bam, and Richardson. All have help whether depth or snaps or GW kicks. 

If he has another 2025 draft haul, Panthers would have a winning season. 

He's on decent terms with me, I just wished he'd bring to the QB room....just a huge flaw..

      Strength of Schedule

      By chknwing · Posted

      I'm looking at the schedule and I see a 10+win season easy.  I think Carolina goes undefeated in the division.  I also believe that the Bears, Bengals, Lions, Browns, Steelers are very winnable.  Revenge game with phillips and the eagles could be a win.  Honestly only 2 games I see as chalking up a L to off the bat is the Seahawks and Broncos.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
