Why is Mike Mamula on there? Granted he didn't deserve to be drafted as high as he was and he tricked everyone into thinking he was better than he was by doing amazing at the combine, but he had an alright career. Everyone else on there had terrible careers but at least he contributed?

I think you're right, it's pretty much the "workout warrior" moniker I think. His training coach for the combine only worked on the tryout drills, so he wowed them. Then Warren Sapp had a pot conviction just before the drills and Philly decided to trade with the Bucs to take him. The Bucs then took Warren Sapp and Derrick Brooks, two possible HOF players while Philly got stuck with a player that never reached his potential. Still a contention today that players only train at the combine tests and may "falsify" evaluations that way. It's a theory that even Yas has expounded upon...

God, I hate to use Yas as a source...

:lol:

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tbe · Posted

      Sure, that is possible. That’s what, an extra 55 yards a game on average and 7 more TDs? What if he’s just 15th?  I imagine they would extend him in that situation due to the belief that he’ll keep trending up. maybe a 3 year contract to prove he can be top 10? Sounds like a Tepper plan.
