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..

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

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
