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.

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..

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
