More Devon Still highlights

His injuries are pretty terrifying, and I know that he played well as a senior, but he still only played two years of college ball. I don't see why he's the safe pick at all. He wasn't a better player than Brockers last year, and probably won't ever be again.

take a look at their stats.

Still was far and away the more productive player this last season.

I do believe that Brockers has more upside. But Still is significantly more polished and probably more ready to immediatley step in that Brockers is.

Between the two, I woudl lean Brockers. But thinking that he out performed Still this season is ridiculous.

I like Still better then Brockers Just to be honest. I feel that Still could come in and have a direct impact were it may take Brockers sometime to devloped a little bit. I can't lie I am scared of LSU prospects espcially at the DT position. The only person pops in my head is Glen Dorsey and how such and impact player he was suppose to be. I hope Brockers be a good player but I just don't know. If I could make the pick I may go with Devon Still.

I like Still, and wouldn't be upset with the pick if we had traded back. To be honest, I think Brockers is the safer pick though. His game translates better to the NFL in my opinion, and Still has those injury problems (which is the biggest thing making Brockers a safer pick).

Hell, if somehow Claiborne or Blackmon dropped to us at #9 and Still was still available in the mid to late 20s or later I wouldn't hate the idea of trying to trade up from #40 to get him (assuming Brockers is gone and obviously trying to avoid using next year's 1st...maybe it could be done with this and next year's 2nds and 4ths or something to that effect)

EVERY player is going to suffer an injury at some point in their career. Maybe Still has injury concerns because he played 4 years in college, Brockers played 2. Still was better last season and is already a more polished player, he's ready to step in right now. Meanwhile who knows if Brockers will ever fully develop?

    • 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.
