I don't agree with this. If you cut a 1st thru 4th round than that would be considered more of a bust. 5th through 7th rounders are in competition with everyone that was on the team last year (minus FA departures) and they may not make the team. They could end up on the P.S. or they may end up on another team and do well with them. Our goal is to keep the best 53 and because they don't make it with us doesn't mean they are a bust. Bust IMO is a player we drafted that was slotted to start or contribute majorly and they don't pan out. Little is a prime example of a bust.

I think he's my UDFA that makes the team. Or at least I am pulling for him to make it. Moore could be a second coming of Norwell.

It was more of a joke but Marty's ego might get him to bite to prove he was right about Little.

Calling WFT... Hey Marty got a deal for you.

Daley had his moments last year and his ability to play multiple position makes me believe he'll make the team. Little, IMO, is odd man out. I also think that Tremble could fill 2 positions (TE and FB) giving us the opportunity to keep 10 O-line me.

If Brown and Moore ended up starting at guard and Christensen at LT would give us 3 rookies as our starters. Sign Moton to a long term deal. We have 4 of the 5 O-line positions address for the next 4 years. Throw in Tremble blocking from the TE or FB position our running game would be amazing.

We have several players that have the ability to play multiple positions. With th players on this roster what would be your ideal line up? Mine, at least to start the season with Christensen moving out to LT later. LT Scott LG Christensen C Paradis RG Brown RT Moton

I have big expectation for him. I think our running game is going to be incredible. When they try to stop the run our passing game will make them pay.

Nevermind..... I was thinking Hoskins.. Yeah I loved the Hubbard pick. Sorry about that.

It's hard to tell about Hubbard. The only clips they had of him were when he was in high school. I think he was a shot in the dark.

Darnold 250 2TD 1 INT CMC 200+ Multipurpose yards with 2 TDs We get as many interceptions off of Wilson than he had all last year at BYU (4) and 3 sacks.

I think it would mean more to the player that he coach contacts them than the GM. The GM doesn't deal with the player day to day.

Horn has the highest expectation and with the loss of Samuel I see Marshall having a huge impact as well. Christensen is gravy IMO.

I think with him on the field it will make our offense more dynamic.

I wonder if they gave him a call before the pick and told him they expect a professional with no childish incidence.

He'll be a perfect 3rd down conversion. I saw a clip where he went through the middle like he was blocking and snuck out for a huge gain. We'll have plenty of 3rd down conversion from other players that just about every time we use him. It will work. 20 or 30 catches for the season would be awesome.

Jeff King a former Panther TE has joined the mix. https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/panthers-request-permission-to-interview-jeff-king-for-assistant-gm-job

Horn is a day one starter Marshall #3 WR Christensen Starting LT Tremble will see significant playing time as a FB and TE and maybe HB Hubbard will see the field giving CMC a blow Nixon the reigning Big 10 DPOY will at minimum be in the DT rotation. I don't see him starting but will see time at DT. DT is a position were we rotate players all the time. He'll see significant playing time. Taylor is a wild card. He may be a bust or may be a steal. Honestly I don't know enough about him to be confident one way or the other. We'll see after we start workouts what his ceiling in year one will be. Brown impressed Rhule in the Senior Bowl and will most likely start the season as a backup but as every season we'll have a O-line injury and he'll be ready to come in and start. What I will say that may make him a bust is that he cannot keep his weight down. I am sure the teams Nutritionist will be his best friend. Smith will have a chance to start as our PR specialist and get opportunities as the #4 WR. He may not see a lot of time but he'll have a decent stat line. He will also be in a position to move to the #3 spot when we let Anderson walk after 2021. Fletcher and Hoskins along with Taylor are the ones who I am not counting on to do much. How you figure only 3 to 4 really boggles my mind. Each of the players that we drafted are in the position of need and really have a great chance to make the team. I respect your opinion and I am sure you think I am a homer but I honestly believe this was a grand slam draft. In a couple of years will be the draft we point to as the one where we turned the corner to be a perennial winning team.

I don't doubt that our staff got a call from someone. I believe we wanted Christensen and Marshall. The front office decided that the gamble to wait on Christensen and take Marshall was better than waiting to see if Marshall fell to our 3rd round pick. The gamble paid off because we ended up with both. I heard many times before the draft that N.O. was interested in a CB and Horn was in that conversation. Fortunately for us we had a need at CB and WR so while we got the upper hand I don't think we chose those players just to screw N.O. It's more of a coincidence and we got great players plus we kept them from N.O.

I don't see 6 starters but I do see a possibility of 7 or 8 players drafted seeing significant playing time.

Wouldn't that be a steal. Especially since we are in dire need of a FS. My non-draftee favorite going into camp.

Not common but I will admit it happens sometimes.

Old regime vs different Philosophy. If Horn is dominate he'll be a Panther a long time. WTH does Kobe have to do with the NFL? Very few Athletes wear a number from a different sport. Players like MJ and Kobe have no bearing on other sports.

Clearly letting Anderson go and keeping Moore should be the way to go. I also don't think we should underestimate the connection he and Brady already have. Brady already knows his skill set and will be ready to use it day 1.

Spot on. Our staff did a good job addressing most of our needs on offense and defense during this draft. We're building a nice core of young players that can help Darnold succeed. If he fails, which I don't believe he will, we will be in a position to get a franchise QB. Who knows who is the next college star to step into the argument of franchise QB. I think Howell and Rattler are among the favorites but there will certainly be more. Furthermore, if Watson clears his problems we would be in the same position as we were this year to make a trade for him. With 2020 and 2021 draft choices losing a 1st for the next couple of years won't hurt so bad. Had we selected Fields and he has a poor 2021 than we are stuck with having to give him another season to show it was only rookie mistakes. It would be 2023 before we could make a move to get another QB. I think Darnold, based on some of the videos posted earlier, shows he can perform well in this league. Some of his plays he had very little time from his O-line but still made plays. I believe our O-line will be much better than the Jets ever had and Darnold has more toys to play with. Lastly, I wish the the Huddlers that wanted Fields would let it go. All the bitchin in the world isn't going to change the outcome of the draft. If he is great we'll say well we could have had Fields. Every team can say that. In 2012 seven teams passed on Luke Kuechly, In 2017 seven teams passed on CMC. You can go on and on about who we didn't draft but it is water under the bridge. LET IT GO.
