I criticized that McBob trade hardcore when we made it but after seeing McBob play live a few times, I couldn't help but want him back... and I'm a Carolina fan.

 

 

Oh I didn't know what to think when that trade went through, but I didn't question after watching him play.  

 

Were both you guys real high on Hakim Warrick?  It isn't like we gave up future assets to get McBob.  I was excited about the trade from day one.  As far as I know the Pacers cut Warrick immediately and was a free agent the remainder of the season.

I just thought it was a stupid and pointless trade until I saw the energy he brought to the team. Oh and that sick alley-opp he had helped too.

By the way, the trade was with the Magic not Indiana.

I stand corrected, I just remembered he was with Indiana for a stint. Pie for you.

 

Looking back at the Mullens trade, we gave up our 2nd round pick to OKC in this draft. 

 

For his value, I think it was worth it.  But it is going to be interesting after the draft if we give him his qualifying offer to stay in Charlotte.  If not, it was a bad trade and we should have kept the 2nd rounder.

I was going to mention that, I almost want to offer him so we can say we didn't essentially waste a trade/draft pick.

I agree, if we don't offer him or extend him outright, it was a wasted 2nd rounder that could have netted us another potential role player like Jeff Taylor who I think was a good value last season in 2nd round.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
