I think this years first pick is pretty straight forward unless we win a couple more games.I would like either Star or Luke if it is up to me.The Oakland game may decide who gets Star with both teams needs help at DT. 2nd round has a few more options.It appears at wr we could only get a good number 2 so I am not really sure if that is logical. Barret Jones OG,OT,C would be a great pick if he is there or Elam if he should drop a few spots.Other than that it may be the best cb availible

It depends on what we do with Gross, and what we do with the Edwards'.

If we decide to cut Gross, the pick will be Joeckel.

If we keep Gross, and either Dwan leaves in free agency, or Ron is cut due to age/injury, we will take either star or Hankins depending on that situation.

If Dwan leaves, we need Star. If Ron leaves, we need Hankins.

I think Dwan is under contract for another season.

Would take Luke hands down.

You have your young franchise QB....now slide in your stud LT to protect him for the next decade.

You saw how effective Cam is when he gets some time in the pocket.

Luke at LT....Amini at LG (kid is getting better and better)....Kalil in the middle....? at RG....Gross (after he restructures) at RT.

Damn fine OL.

I rather have a Vet who has experience blocking for Cam than a rookie. Tell me how many rookie OL made immediate impact. We saw Amini struggle this year. I don't want another rookie OL having to go through a learning developing process blocking for Cam.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
