I like it, has us taking:

1. Poe - I wouldn't mind taking Poe, but I'd rather get Brockers

2. Jayron Hosely - Don't mind this pick either. Has Zach Brown going the pick before us, would be nice to grab him in the 2nd.

4. Dwight Jones - High potential WR, good pick in the 4th.

5. Demario Davis - Love this pick in the 5th.

Why would it have us taking Dwight Jones in the 4th. I think we would take Iloka, Keenan Robinson or maybe even Ryan Broyles over him. I don't see any way we take Jones. That would be a horrible pick with talented players still available at positions of need.

When I look at all the great players still left in the second, I wish we had more picks in that round. I has us taking Hosley which I love. But I also really want Osemele. He is a great Olineman that is huge and can play anywhere on the line besides center. I know the coaching staff loves him. I would also love to be able to get Coby Fleener. He is just a terrific TE. Might be a reach though. But we only get one pick. We should have no problem being able to get great talent with our first 2 picks. I love a lot of players in this year's draft.

I know the interest in Poe is shriveling up, and I can understand it (but I still wouldn't be as upset with Poe as if we took someone like Kuechly, Reiff or Kirkpatrick) but I think the rest of the draft is not bad. Admittedly, what I like best about it is the 5th round pick :)

    • 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.
