general stuff. if he had to make the pick tommorow they could and feel good about it, but things are still subject to change. they will have their meeting with the college scouts tommorow and bring all the information they've learned on prospects together. asked about other players not being named cam newton being the safer choice like dareus and peterson. said something like both can be impact players at their postion, hopes the player they draft will be the most impactful player they could get for the team. brian murphy was on the phone and talked about the impact of the kickoff rule change and that having a premier KR might be even more important. Hancock didn't really pressure Hurney to tell him who they were going to pick but he did ask sort of in jest..probably more but i'm paraphrasing from memory. Some stuff about how Cam's interviews went but if I remember he danced around that question too.

I do think you can infer that he kind of let the questions about PP and Dareus roll off his back and then said they hope the player we get will have the most impact on the team at his position...

Sounds like PP and Dareus aren't the pick. I've always said that PP is probably the safest bet out of all the guys being talked about - you can plug him in immediately and he's gonna be a Champ Bailey type of guy IMO. But, that isn't going to win you games by itself. Especially when we already have talent at pretty much every position on defense, with DT being the weakest. But, same thing, Dareus isn't going to win games with his performance alone, and that's what we need with the #1 pick.

I'm thinking Green or Newton. I hope Newton.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      You found out what I said months ago. Its sort of simple, if Panthers/you want a edge....*Panthers need a starting edge that gets hurries/sacs/press/etc* You almost have to use the 1st on edge. Just the way it is, of course some .01% Panthers get lucky and a 4th rounder shocks the world and becomes a day one starter.    I hate double talk, I also feel the Panthers need a top backup ala Addison or Al Wallace. Sooooo I do feel the need to add one in mid rounds if possible. I mean Pat Jones is on the MAYBE cut list, Panthers need space, he had a back injury and had little impact on field. So....... It goes back to adding talent, Panthers need talent, young talent.  OT- In my finding Im able to land a "stud" in round 2 more than 50% of the current rating. Even in the 3-5 rounds, (duke lad) Im able to get a OT within the top ava. I normally draft two OTs with one must play LT at some point. So I feel the draft is weak, but one of the strong point and it helps panthers is the OT spot. A few of those OT in mid, some will be starters this year.    I posted this else where, but here is the best outcome for the Panthers given the mock draft finding- 1st- Edge 2nd- LT/OT 3rd- ILB 4th- BPA/safety/center/WR/OT/etc 5th- OT/edge/C/DL/TE 5th- """" 6th- QB/Punter/safety/NB/OL The draft feels weak at 80% of the spots and teams Im sure are on this thought too. This past draft feels much better and deeper against the pool There is no Mike green or Nic scro in the late 2nd. There is no Evans sitting there in late 5th. There is not even a Prince level edge in the 3rd by my finding. I feel Panthers for sure new to draft 2 OTs and I high believe drafting 2 edges, one must be a 1st tho. Then the remaining 3 picks one late on QB, one on ILB, and the last one BPA. Honestly the FA looks bad too, the huge problem is the amount of needed for Panthers and there's not enough cap space or draft picks to fill even half the issue this season. Its goes back to just add the best talented players possible, *so long they do not play OG, strong safety, Dbrowns spot, and Tmacs spot. Add talent everywhere else, cause its lacking.......Even CB with horn struggling and Mike Jack on a one year deal, Thor coming off injury. There room for a mid or even 2nd rounder being(ewwww) use at CB. I prefer what I posted above. Happy drafting 45!!

      Yes.  We actually had a coach we paid millions to who burned a 6th for a long snapper strictly for the lulz.
