Joe Person: Panthers would have bypassed Kenyon Sadiq if he had still been available @19

Pretty much what I figured - if Canales is drafting a tight end, they better be a proven inline tight end because that is what he wants in a TE

And that, among other things, might be what gets his ass fired one day. Don't get me wrong, there's no way Sadiq was worth a first, but some TE is worth it (or a second or a third). 

It may just be a consequence of growing up on the Pete Carroll tree.

If he gets fired I am going with the QB taking him down. This one or the next one.

I used to drive a VEGA. Aluminum block, 4 in the floor.  It was pumpkin yellow colored.  Chick magnet.

The infamous time capsule 1975 Vega : r/classiccars

I'd say you should have saved some ladies for the rest of us, but clearly you did not.

Other things - I agree could get him fired one day. However, not drafting a tight end this year is not going to be any reason. DC couldn't really do much with how many of the tight ends most of us figured would be around day 3 went day 2. Tight ends I would have liked for us to get day three like Delp, Roush, and Raridon went in the 3rd.

I think we were smart not joining that tight end Rush and instead focused on a receiver that was great value where we got him in the 3rd round.

They’ve stuck to positional value early, this isn’t surprising. It doesn’t really tell us much about how they value Tight Ends or which profile they like. Jatavaion Sanders doesn’t play in line and they clearly have high hopes there.

 

the real interesting, telling question would’ve been Sadiq versus Thieneman.

You cant take any of this stuff seriously.   Nothing true ever really comes out.  We always get the #1 guy we wanted is all youre ever going to hear after the draft. 

It’s actually incredible the streak we’re on, we’ve literally never failed to secure our top target

And if he did, he doesn’t have the QB to use them right. Sadiq… if we took him we would be like the guy that puts fancy rims on his Vega. 

Damn, that's a helluva reference. First car I remember as a kid that my parents drove....barely recall it, but I think it was green. In fact, I think it was a pretty putrid green at that.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • 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.
    • 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.
