On tonight's edition of Panthers Pulse with Marty Hurney, Mike Giddings who is an independent scout the Panthers work with said he does not believe Clausen is a franchise QB but he could be a solid starter in the right system.... here's a write-up on the show from an inferior site:

do we need two threads for this?

Problem is that system will not be the vertical passing attack of the Panthers. He needs to go to a WCO.

THis is what I read in Nawrocki's evaluation of Gabbert among the negatives.

Often uses a sidearm, three-quarters delivery. Worked exclusively out of the shotgun with pre-determined reads, and panic quickly set in when his primary read was covered.Loses poise — does not like to be hit and often sets deep in the pocket and flicks the ball or takes off running early at the hint of pressure. Footwork will require some overhauling. Often bird-dogs his primary target and too often drops his eyes and vacates the pocket prematurely. Really struggled against Nebraska when he was consistently pressured and can be rattled under duress. Does not take many shots downfield and showed marginal deep accuracy (0-for-5) in three games charted. Still raw, inexperienced and underdeveloped.

In all fairness he graded him out positively but when I read the first couple of lines I had a Clausen flashback from last year.

Not sure why Gabbert's review from Nawrocki is in this thread, but not only did he "grade him out positively," he had this to say about him:

Positives: Extremely well-built with terrific weight-room strength. Has outstanding arm talent and a very rapid release — can throw from a wide variety of angles, manipulate his arm and throwing platform and generate great velocity with quick arm action. Can hasten his arm and feet, change speeds on the ball and deliver it from a multitude of angles. Gauges the velocity of the ball and can throw with touch and placement. Picks apart zone coverage and processes triangle reads. Whips the ball around and throw BBs. Good timing and anticipation. Outstanding escapability in the face of the rush and is very accurate and comfortable throwing on the move — extremely accurate throwing to his right. Highly athletic and can extend plays with his feet. Mentally tough — has shown he will keep battling through severe pain (shoulder and hip injuries). Charted at 60 percent converting on third downs in three games and consistently sustained drives and moved the chains with his arm and legs. Operated very well within Missouri's system. Extremely smart, hardworking, highly competitive team player with a strong grasp of football concepts. More passionate about wins than any other stat. Loaded with upside.

not much of that really sounds like what we saw from Clausen, does it?

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
