Is there a hugh improvement between our two DT drafted last year and Fletcher Cox, Michael Brocker, Dontari Poe, etc.? I would assume McClain and Fua has been hitting the weights with one season of experience under them. Most DT struggle in their first year and what make Cox, Brocker, Poe, Worthy, Still, and Reyes instant starters before McClain and Fau.

Was your last sentence a question? Or a statement?

Fletcher Cox is considerably on a higher level than McClain and Fua. His skill set is just high. McClain and Fua were never rated that high to begin with. Cox may struggle but not as much as Fua and McClain did in their first year for the simple fact that he's just better, more complete, at another level than the DT's we took last year.

All, talent wise, are definitely better.

Not a knock on McClain or Fua. Well, it kind of is. But I'm a big fan of a lot of the DTs in the draft. I think if we decide not to go DT in the first, we should still have some great options in the second like Thompson, Worthy, Wolfe, or Chapman.

You guys did not read his question. He asked would Cox or any of the other DT's be better AS A ROOKIE than McClain and Fua AS A SOPHOMORE NFL player. It is a short-sighted question, but at least know what he asked rather than thinking the OP just asked is a Top-10 DT = Round 3 and Round 4 DT.

Cox would also have an offseason, wouldn't be playing beside a rookie, and everyone on the F wouldn't be in a new system.

I mean if McClain or Fua came in under that criteria they would have been better as well.

But Cox is better....Still, Worthy, and Thompson. Poe is probably on the same level coming in as they were. Better skill set but not a better DT coming.

Comparing rookie to our sophomores....probably a push. If the rookies are better it probably won't be by much.

Well how would Cox compare to Darius as a rookie?

Cox is a better Prospect then Dareus was last year.

Cox played in the same conference. Had better numbers then Marcell coming out of college. Was a starter longer then Marcell. Cox had a better showing at the combine. He's faster and Just as strong as Dareus.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie.

      I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
