Dan Morgan Pre-Draft press conference

[TheSpecialJuan]

4 biggest hints Panthers GM Dan Morgan dropped about the 19th pick in his pre-draft presser

Second-guessing the favorite?

Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq has felt like the odds-on favorite at that 19th overall selection for quite some time. But Morgan made some intriguing comments on the current state of the team's tight end room that may have us second-guessing this potential pairing.

"I think we have some guys on our roster that are big targets," Morgan said. "In general, we have guys in our tight end room that we feel are good players and guys that have the skill set to be able to do that.

"Whether it's opportunity or whether guys are still developing, I think we have the pieces in that room to be able to do that."

Tommy Tremble led all Panthers tight ends with 249 receiving yards in 2025.

Carolina has not had a tight end record at least 500 receiving yards since 2019.

- Character matters. A LOT. If a guy has character concerns of any kind, you can be pretty confident they aren't on our board. They may bring in a guy or two for a visit to gauge the validity/severity of the concern though.

How far is Ruben Bain going to fall? 

Quote

 

One of the passengers in Bain's car was Destiny Betts, 22, a college student from Georgia. She sustained "incapacitating'' injuries and was in a coma until she died on 13 June 2024.

The site notes that the police report cites Bain for having "operated his vehicle in a careless or negligent manner."

A copy of the police report indicates that a sobriety test was not administered at the scene.

 

 

Yikes!

Ha I know right.  It makes since for them to ride out his option years and see if he can take another step forward. If not our next QB steps into a good  situation. If you look at Drew Bree's' stats his first 3 seasons in San Diego they're pretty similar to Bryce's and those offenses had a lot of talent. Best case is he takes that same kind of leap now. I don't know if he's got that in him but we're about to find out for sure

It made sense for them to start planning for the future after year 2. We're now in year 4 and apparently committing to him for year 5. Baffling.

honestly this doesn't bug me at all, but one time of life was fast driving too.....then traffic took over and my age started to take my "plums"......

His short arms, that's will cause him to fall even with his great tape. If by some chance, he fell to panthers 100% Dan would draft him. He's spoke glowingly and said no chance.

 

I mean if get truthful background checks on every player, draft would be short.....
