Who Is The Player You Pray The Panthers Don't Draft?

I will start.

DT Dontari Poe, Memphis. Most mocks (30+% according to DC Mocks) have us taking Poe. He is a workout warrior. His game film shows a weak motor and he is on the ground a lot. His stats were not good compared to other players from bigger schools who got double teamed weekly--he was SECOND team ALL CONFERENCE USA.

Personally, I think he is hyped by the media because his freakish combine made him look like a stud. He is not. From what I can gather, he is not high on a lot of boards.

CRAZY PREDICTION: (I do not think it is)--He wll be one of the biggest fallers in the draft. Look for him to be drafted in the top 12--of the second round.

Poe.

He's an amazing athlete for his size, but he doesn't know how to use his weight or strength against opponents both larger and smaller than him.

His motor is almost non-existent.

He's constantly on his ass, pancaked by people 50 pounds less than him.

Would take him as a risk in the second, but I know there's no way he'll make it down there because of his amazing combine, so I say NO to him at 9.

Coples. I worry about all of the things that come along with him. The questions about him taking plays off (it's much worse for a player of Coples athleticism to take plays off than a guy the size of Poe), and the worries about the things that happened at Carolina.

Yeah I've been vocal about not wanting Poe too. He's started 30 games and yet he's as raw as a cucumber. When you're drafting a project you're pretty much predicting him to develop after 2 years or so. If he can't develop after starting for 2 years in college, why would he be any different after 2 years in the nfl?

Still also scares me for different reasons. He just gets injured way too often.

Dontari Poe. Riding a combine isn't enough for me.

Alshon Jeffery (Jeffrey, Jeffries), He's over rated and I wouldn't want him in the second either. Regardless of QB Issues and schemes, his physique is his meal ticket. Rather have Hill who was somewhat productive in a run first offense as well and never fluctuated in weight.

    • I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.  
    • Thank god BigKat can't buy it because I'd be gone immediately 
    • Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
