this mock has panthers trading to get back into 2nd


Recommended Posts

last year's trade has got to be the dumbest thing i've ever seen. belichick must have laughed his balls off when he saw who we picked after making that trade. it screwed us last year, and this, not to mention not having a new player to fill a uniform that can actually achieve something for us.

Hurney better knock it out of the park this draft (doubt it).

did Hurney envision that he would convert AI to WR... or did he take him on a qb basis (he WAS a qb in college..). I really just want to know what in the world made him put that trade through.

we knew he was going to play wide out, Hurney is just a trade-happy idiot come draft day. And of all the people to trade the 32nd pick to...... wow

cant dog armanti edwards yet. was he a reach and not worth giving up a 2nd round pick for? probably,but we dont know yet because fox never played him, never gave him a chance. all i know is that when he did play in the preseason,, he led all recievers on the team in catches and yards during the preseason

yeah you have a pretty good point. He didn't get enough playing time last year for any of us to evaluate if he was worth the trade or not. I say if he gets some good playing time this year and he doesn't produce at all, THEN we can say it was a terrible trade..

    • 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. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
