I'm thinking corner now at 19

I think that's the dark horse pick. Start planning for the future of the position if we can't keep Mike Jackson, or someone gets hurt. I'd like to take a CB that has good return ability though so we can get them on the field.

He's terrific

I am stealing a quote from the old TV A Team series, saying " I love it when a plan comes together".

He is the face of this franchise whether you care to admit it or not. 

That's the type of stuff that leads to eight straight losing seasons

huge move/S

This is probably the most aggressive the Panthers have been in FA addressing team needs, it's about time.

Could we be targeting Kenyon Sadiq at #19 now?

I had the same thought.  I hope not, but that is my knee jerk reaction

Would love to know what the expectation/plan is for Icky. I'm glad we're not counting on him to return to form. Potential switch to RT to replace Moton long-term?

Back to LT or L guard. My money is on LG.

Probably the least improvement you could get in a first round pick from 2025 to 2026.

The most aggressive we've ever been didn't exactly turn out well.

I’m still really interested in drafting an LT in the first round if the right one is there. Perfect scenario to allow to sit and learn for a bit. That’s how you get a starter for 10-15 years.

Unless we move back, a LT is going to be there I do not see more than 3 going before 19, and we have 5 who have been mocked in round 1 regularly (Miami OT, both Utah OTs, Georgia OT, and Bama OT)  (forget names--tired of spelling them). 

I noticed that the Panthers had their OL coach (an OT expert) at Clemson's pro day.  Hmmm. Not day 1, but maybe day 2 and 3.

I seriously doubt it. Tight ends aren’t a huge part of this offense and Sadiq isn’t a Colston Loveland or even Tyler Warren 

I think they’d be more likely to go WR than TE if they wanted a pass catcher. I don’t believe Lemon gets past the Rams at 13. So it’s just a matter of how far does Jordan Tyson fall if at all

What bothers me about that logic-and I share it with you--is that Morgan has had too many holes to focus on TE and he has drafted TE twice in two years (on day 3).  I think we like Tremble, and we just re-signed Mitchell. They are giving Bryce weapons and protection everywhere else.  However, in a run-first offense, I am not sure Sadiq is the guy you need.  

Secondly, a TE in round 1 needs to be a perfect fit.

I think we need to go ahead and draft a T and C.  Good draft for both.  LB is still a need. S is a need. CB or nickel is a need.  TE in round 1 does not move the scale much.
