Draft insider Tony Pauline heard from one Buffalo Bills scout that Alabama T Cyrus Kouandjio can say "goodbye" to the first-round.

Pauline called Koaundjio's workout "sluggish, slow and totally unprepared." The big left tackle posted an official forty time of 5.59 seconds and 10 yard splits of 1.79 and 1.87 seconds. Kouandjio also posted 21 bench press reps. There were some highs and lows to Kouandjio's game during his final season, but we still think he has talent.

Could be there for us...maybe even in round 2....Also see he's failing medicals.

got to admit i was interested in him.

 

not so much anymore.

 

he was one of the few 1st round OTs i thought would be available at 8. i don't think any would be right now. we might have to wait until the 2nd or third to get the next LT, but i think the guys who will be available then would still be really good.

 

i still think we can walk away with a starting quality LT and RT this year and not draft anay OL in the first. this is a really good deep class of tackles, imo. same with WRs and TEs....and CBs. man, what a great class to be stuck at the end of the rounds. i'm going to love this draft. so much talent and we can go so many ways the first few rounds and get good starters.

I like B Thomas, Bitonina, Billy Turner, and Mewhort in the 2nd. I just hope there's not some crazy run on O line. But yeah man, crazy all around talent this year; definitely wish we had 11 picks like the niners in this one

Am I the only one who prefers different threads for prospects this team might be interested in, instead of searching through one thread dedicated to the combine. Few pages in a thread like that, has observation and details about how the player performed at the combine. The majority of the thread is the huddlers opinion on if the player will be suitable or not. It's the off-season and almost every thread in the main forum has been on the first page for about a week now. It dulls this place down, have a combine section so we can have threads to evaluate each player, if you're worried about clutter in the main thread.

Kinda what I'm thinking.  I think we may be in no man's land right now at 28 in terms of OTs.  I think value will be there at WR or CB.  All of the legit 1st round talent OTs will be gone, so we'd likely be forced to reach if we wanted to go OT.  No thanks on reaching.  I'd rather take a better prospect at another position and wait until the 2nd or 3rd.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
