1- Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza/QB/Indiana – 2- NY Jets: Arvell Reese/LB/Ohio State – 3- Arizona Cardinals: David Bailey/Edge/Texas Tech – 4- Tennessee Titans: Rueben Bain Jr./Edge/Miami-Fl – 5- NY Giants: Sonny Styles/LB/Ohio State – 6- Cleveland Browns: Spencer Fano/T/Utah – 7- Washington Commanders: Jeremiyah Love/RB/Notre Dame – 8- New Orleans Saints: Kenyon Sadiq/TE/Oregon – 9- Kansas City Chiefs: Francis Mauigoa/T/Miami-Fl – 10- Cincinnati Bengals: Caleb Downs/S/Ohio State – 11- Miami Dolphins: Mansoor Delane/CB/LSU – 12- Dallas Cowboys: Jermod McCoy/CB/Tennessee – 13- LA Rams (via Atlanta): Makai Lemon/WR/USC – 14- Baltimore Ravens: Olaivavega Ioane/G/Penn State – 15- Tampa Bay Buccaneers: T.J. Parker/Edge/Clemson – 16- NY Jets (via Indianapolis): Carnell Tate/WR/Ohio State – 17- Detroit Lions: Kadyn Proctor/OL/Alabama – 18- Minnesota Vikings: Keldric Faulk/DL/Auburn – 19- Carolina Panthers: Jordyn Tyson/WR/Arizona State – Carolina did a great job filling needs with top players in free agency, which gives them options in the draft. Tyson is polished and will start as a rookie if he can stay healthy. 51- Carolina Panthers: Eli Stowers/TE/Vanderbilt

https://x.com/panthersbreakd/status/2039460655757922331?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA Following Pro Day today, Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. will head to Carolina for a 30 visit with the Panthers, per source. They’ve done a lot of work on receivers and Cooper Jr. could be an option at No. 19 overall

“I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.” “And in my conversations, I do think they are very much open to drafting a wide receiver early.” https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2039307828888731987?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Two things: imo Canales and Bryce had a push and pull all year long. Canales wanting to play out of heavier 12 & 13 personel, while Bryce thriving out of more of a spread out hurry up kind of offense that allowed him to be creative The turnaround in 2025 where Bryce had more big time throws than almost anyone in the league came out of Canales allowing Bryce to play out of empty more than any other team. My hope for Idzik is that he allows Bryce to play his style of football instead of trying to get to heavier personel most of the time Btw, this is not a diss on Canales. I love Bryce, but his skillset is not primed for a "typical" run offense. If Bryce is going to thrive, the #Panthers need to build the offense around what he does well In terms of who that playmaker is, my pick would be Makai Lemon. The matchup nightmare that he would out of the slot (as Jordan Reid said he's not just a slot guy but he is a menace out of the slot) would put so much pressure on opposing defenses https://x.com/threesandtds24/status/2039055526542397578?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

very good read from Joe and notable that Canales says the Panthers want to bring in players "that will complement what Bryce does" - when their only WR/RB/TE addition has been John Metchie expecting a top three round pick to be spent at one of those spots, if not 19 overall https://x.com/joshnorris/status/2039019352565891224?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

Joe Person of The Athletic sat down with head coach Dave Canales at the NFL Annual League Meeting from Phoenix, Ariz. on Monday. Their one-on-one chat ventured into the outlook for Young, who Canales said the following of: We're changing things in our offense to fit Bryce, and we're trying to bring players that will complement what Bryce does. It was something that Dan and I had talked about throughout really the last two years - Bryce's ability to perform in critical situations and in high-stakes situations. And feeling our responsibility to build a team that puts itself in those high-stakes moments where he can perform and come through. And he's shown that, whether it's my ability to be aggressive, going for it on fourth down because of him or having different moments come alive late in games for him to be able to take us down on drives, find wins, whatever that looked like. There's not a question of if, but how - how are we gonna build this forward knowing that Bryce is our quarterback?

I'm less than impressed
