I could'nt understand why the NFLPA would want to take something so special away from any rookie. Walking on that stage in the draft is something every NFL player drafted should have the right to do, no matter what the problem's are between player's and owner's.

They'll still be holding events around the time of the draft, but decided not to compete directly.

Glad to hear it myself. The whole "rookies should skip the draft" thing was a huge boondoggle.

You are being too PC. It was pure chicken poo. Good they aren't trying to screw these kids over anymore.

I have said the same thing and feel the same way. It is selfish of the current players to ask these kids to not participate in the draft. There is going to be football eventually and to rob them of this once in a lifetime experience is purely cr*p.

      Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.

      Panthers Preseason

      Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.

      very helpful.  I read back in this thread where they might try Jarvis at C--I thought he and Aho had good chemistry, however.  Nonetheless, he could expand his value there, and now we have a guy who can play jarvis' spot.  Freddie is a pro, no doubt--and as little as I know about the inner workings of strategy and positions, I could tell Burns was burning us at times.  I figured he'd retire and I was looking forward to it.  FWIW, they have Jarvis listed as a C on the 2025-26 roster.
