popular opinion seems to indicate panthers taking Sadiq or Theienman, but I cant find a indication we have met with either of them.  Not just talking top 30, but prodays, combine, zoom, etc.  I might have missed it and things like a zoom might not be announced always.  But, what are odds Morgan would choose someone he hasnt spoken with?  

Does anyone know of a meeting?  

They are not taking either of them. My guess it's going to be a tackle unless there's a run on them. I think the receiver they want will not make it to 19.

Excited to see who we pick! I have a bad feeling that if we don’t draft best OT available with our first pick we may regret it as soon as this season. We desperately need depth immediately, possibly even a starter depending how Moton looks at this point in his career and whether he keeps clean from injury, and our other starter I am concerned that nobody seemed to want all that much. And we almost certainly will need at least one new starter next year and OTs typically have some growing pains the first year at least if not 2 years, so now is really the time to draft one for next year.

OT is at the top of my want list if we stay at 19, but with a huge caveat being it NEEDS to be an immediate Week 1 starter at LT.

Yes, we need OT depth, but with Moton and the guy we signed from GB, realistically we should be set at starting OT going into the season.  And there is just no scenario where a team should ever be using a 1st on someone who isn't expected to be a day 1 starter, a QB, or a RB who has an immediate major role in a 2 RB committee.

So if the right OT falls to us and we think/know he'll be our Week 1 starter at LT, then I'm good with it, if not and we still stay at 19, I think it should be S, ILB, or TE in that order.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
