Guys i liked as sleepers that have now climbed to the top of the rankings.

Stephen Hill WR for G-Tech.

Doug Martin RB Boise State.

And of course POE.

Sad thing is none are likely gonna be a Panther. My bet is that Hill will be the third WR taken and Martin will be a Buccaneer. Poe will be end up a Nosetackle in a 3-4 team. As far as guys i hope to see as a Panther. Jerel Worthy, Morris Claibourne, Travis Lewis. If we could draft those three guys i would be on top of the world.

To be honest, I've been doing more hating than loving. Here's some positivity though:

Brockers: I think he'll do much better tomorrow at his pro day and reestablish himself as the top DT (at least in my mind). I think he'll turn up lighter than he did at the combine, run in the 5.0 or 5.1 range and have 30 reps on the bench.

Worthy: I think this is the one DT that everyone is sleeping on at 9. There are a lot of other DT's that are getting a lot of buzz, but truthfully, I don't see them transitioning well in the NFL. Worthy on the other hand I think will be a fantastic, albeit perhaps slightly lazy DT. I see a bright future ahead for this guy.

I am on the Worthy bandwagon. He has that burst you want from the middle. He is as quick off the ball as anyone, and quicker than almost everyone else. Even as only a junior this year, he was still a captain and a leader. If you want disruptive, then Jerel is your pick.

Worthy, IMO, is the most pro ready DT in the draft. I think you folks will be preasantly suprised if we get him.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
