With the news of Jordan retiring, how does the Panthers proceed in the Draft?

O-line was already a pretty pressing need, but so was WR. So now, how should we proceed?

 

I have to think we need to go Oline first and foremost. Can't get it to that new shiney WR if we don't have protection, nor run the ball.

 

Plus it's easier to find a good WR in later rounds than a big man (not that the panthers have ever been good at late round receivers here recently)

 

 

What are your thoughts.

I still think you take the best WR available in the first. Unless a top OT falls.  

 

Regardless what happens to the line Cam needs weapons. We can scheme around an offensive line and at least have some patch work bullsht ready to go. At WR, talent is talent and we basically have none.

O-line was always one of our biggest needs. And we all knew (or should have known) Gross was going to retire either this year or the next. So LT was going to be something we went after.

But Getts has said over and over "Use FA to set up the draft so you can go BPA everytime" meaning I don't really think this will effect our draft one way or the other.

I expect us to draft O-Line, Secondary, and at least 1 WR if not two. And I bet we draft another LB and maybe DL. And that's what we were going to draft before Gross decided to reitre and I expect its what we do now.

I expect us also to pick up at least two O-linemen in FA and MAYBE 1 WR, as well as resigning the guys G-man wants to retain.

from what I've seen, i think this is the way it shakes out.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
