Wewt.

Wild day yesterday.

5 picks today.

3rd

2x 4ths

5th

6th

Go Panthers!

I was wrong in my draft and both M. Johnson and Gilbert are both still available in the 3rd. I think one of them needs to be our 3rd round pick whether we trade up or wait. We need to land one of these guys to help our pass rush. Both I think have 1st round talent and in the 3rd would be a steal.

Still need depth on both lines

With next year's 1st rnd pick we got an under-sized DE who looks like right now better suited for LB and a questionable (IMO) CB.

I wouldn't totally be surprised to see those positions picked again.

Since we really didn't get a big boost to run game D, I do expect to see depth at the lines addressed - especially at DT (although all the big DTs are gone.

And yeah, I do expect Fox/Hurney to wast...er, use a pick on a QB.

As long as we don't trade our 2011 1st round draft pick to move up... :rolleyes:

I would love to see us get both Michael Johnson and Gilbert somehow. That would be crazy, I would give the draft a A if it happened.

    • In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?
    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
