I would have said a B because I feel like 3 picks were kind of a reach. The Brandon Hogan, Lawrence Wilson, and Zach Williams picks were reaches. If Newton, McClain, and Fua succeed and we get any contribution from Hogan, Wilson, and Williams than this draft will be a success.

Note: I didn't add Lee Ziemba because I think he will be a stud and a future starter in the league with the Panthers.

You totally ignore Pilares. I think he will be very good if we use him correctly. By 2012, you are going to eat your words concering Brandon Hogan. The guy is a ball-hawking beast who fits well into our system. He will start.

We have always been good at developing OL, especially late rounders. That's something you can really credit our staff for.

Old staff, totally new team in place now. Hope they can do the same.

Also speaking of Walter, he hated the WR pick, called him "undraftable"

I can't help but to wonder how much homework these draft analysts did on Pilares. I have seen at least two scouting reports that called this kid slow, yet all you have to do is watch those clips of him outrunning the entire USC defense to know that's complete BS, not to mention his 4.42 40 time, which is on par with Percy Harvin.

These guys are all just lazy, I guess.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
