Don't hate him. Don't love him. If he is the pick I will be excited to see a spark to the offense and hope for the best. If he isn't the pick i will be excited for whoever is.

Post here if you, like me, are the Switzerland of the first pick.

I'm mostly this way. I agree with the "excited for a spark in the offense part" and might lean a little more Pro-Cam but I certainly won't be disappointed if the pick is someone else just because it wasn't Cam. I'd be a tiny bit disappointed if it was Gabbert and a LOT disappointed if it were Fairley but those are the only realistic choices I'd have negative feelings about. And I'm sure I'd get over the feelings about Gabbert quickly, I just feel that if he's the pick it's just going to be the same old same old for the next 7 or 8 years. Mid tier QB play instead of taking the chance on possibly great QB play or at least great DT/WR/CB play out of one of the other 3 options (well, almost certain).

At the end of the day I'll be happy with whoever the pick is. Newton has enough flaws that make you worry but I think if he works hard enough he'll be a good player. If they think he's a franchise QB you can't pass tbf. You need a top-notch guy to compete in this division. I wouldn't blame them if they passed either. AJ Green/PP/Cam for me.

I think were all in continent about the draft. I think almost all of us are in the same continent actually. :)

Booo, 2/10.

In all seriousness, I'm neutral on the pick as well. I trust in our front office to evaluate talent, despite some questionable draft day trades, this front office's hit to bust ratio is still pretty good.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • 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?
