Interesting that Colston Loveland (grade 6.70) and Tyler Warren (grade 6.77) were superior prospects last year.

Sadiq is the current "it" pick for this year, every year there's a player who analysts completely overrate.

One analysis i saw talked about how "shredded" he was.  When did that ever matter

Honestly they pretty much play the same position.  A TE Sadiq is not. 

Concepción is a gamebreaker, can actually run routes, and he can return punts too. They already have  a big fast WR that isn't a strong route runner, and they selected him at the end of the first round.

Really feel like Sadiq is the XL of TEs. He's a freakish athlete, but does he fit the current QB? Not sure he does. Actually I'm sure he doesn't. Hard pass. Concepcion is a much better fit, and a much bigger need. Carolina needs a guy that scares defenders with speed and quickness. Haven't had a guy do anything with a screen or short pass since DJ Moore. Well, there was that one time Laviska Shenault caught the Saints slipping but he wasn't much of a WR.

I see average speed when I watch Concepcion. Great elusiveness though.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
