whatchu mean homie?!?!?

I do not agree with spending a 1st on safety and even less if they are free safety........guess what?? maybe this is not the draft to worry about position value, which kills me....

I mean the body, numbers, and results. They are all around 6'2 220LBs with 4.4 wheels. Yes different routes and what each is "good" at. They all are struggling was the other thing they shared. I do feel XL is the best of them and they all struggle against zone- You want 2.3.....fyi tmac was a 2.3.....lemon is a 3.22.....JSN is 3.6

Ive had many drafts like this, its over and I feel great about it.... Then I review it and see no OT or CB or ILB(almost a must given the talent). Brother its great *expect for the no ILB part, I mean that's not a deal breaker or nothing and there's always UDFA. Plus I do not care for Beck at all, but at pick 200...perfectly fine with that. everetererettte at 159 is cheating, what board is this? I always use conses.

Gun to my head, NO scares me the most......the upside of that team and the coaching staff(I feel the best in nfc south). Plus they are getting a stud at 8, just no way around it. I just hope its not Love, if so.....DL needs to picked in alllll panther picks....They are likely getting a OSU stud and that hurts no matter what. please no love ....

time for the rock to coach him up!!

Ball moved up in my book this year and he is the clear #1 on the roster. I did not think that at the start, he's grown with me. Now lets see how he handles the playoff pressure, cause its a different game now......plus team have already give him some physical defense......is he going to cry to refs while the ball is being moved to the other side or is he going to wait until a break before he talks to ref. He's the key to how far this team goes, lets see how he's got...

Id get banned if I go on my cussing out post for those scummy heat. They owe the hornets and them crying about rozier to the commish, such a loser move.... I want a 27 point victory with moving to the next team, I think with Ball on his game, they can give any east team all they want...

honestly this doesn't bug me at all, but one time of life was fast driving too.....then traffic took over and my age started to take my "plums"...... His short arms, that's will cause him to fall even with his great tape. If by some chance, he fell to panthers 100% Dan would draft him. He's spoke glowingly and said no chance. I mean if get truthful background checks on every player, draft would be short.....

Csx you're smart enough to overlook the roster and see slot or alpha starter TE as weak points. I don't want WR either, but I see the names Moore, horn as the "hope" of filling that slot role. Plus I showed you Cokers injury history and his off-season in benj fatty camp. You can make a case that offense does need a weapon, even chubba does not scare defenses. You know its about scoring TDs and preventing them, Shaq, lemon, cooper would put more pressure on the other teams D in stopping them. There's not a DT worth the 19 and roster wise, there's not many holes...then if you are using the value smarts during the draft, do not use a 1st on C, NT, or S(unless Ed Reed clone). Ive said many many, if I had GM and felt good about keeping my job for the next couple years...Im taking a line man, preference LT, DE, edge, RT, or DT. Id say the same dang thing for 2nd, add in LB, CB, and this would be my window in adding a WR or TE....they'd have to special and falling, but I prefer waiting until the 3rd. Id even pull a old gettlegut and double up like he did with star and kk....Id draft 2 OT with the first 2 picks... same about DL...

What I heard three or so years ago, one of the higher ups spilled the beans to one of reporters(Jay glazer??). Basically the rams as a org, they feel the players are coached up on answering questions and they also have been training combine drills, thus its a "false" sense of the player now. They have done a great job of drafting in ALL rounds if you look at recent history, lots of hits in the 4th, 6th, 2nd etc. They just feel their method is more "pure" and not a coached up player that repeats " Im all ball, hardest worker, love ball, etc" Plus that 4.41 was 95% the working on the block start in underwear... . If you checkout their drafting history, its one of the most unique in the land. Cause they did struggle for a good period, but once they made the switch, they became one of the best drafting teams even without 1st rounders. They traded 9 out of the last ten 1st, before they picked the demon verse. Oooo and they focus on bigger schools, even the backup on OSU is thought of more than Elon blind kids star.. I see their success, but I want as much info as possible. So using combine and 30 visits would be tools for learning about each player.

finished above .500 so its the nemesis Heat.... Man do the heat owe the hornets, Im already going start to complain about the refs...

Mingo was here and they did dump him fast and like you said XL, mingo, and TMJ are about the same WR. The coaches tell the scouts what they want in rookies, XL was tops on the list...whom looks like mingo... I mean horn was drafted too. But watching the draft video, his attitude seemed to be reason. I thought the WRs would play better as group under this staff..

Heres a good report on the groups, WR comes in 4th. Not much to diss-agree with, imo. I have found slot guy in 4th-6th on many mocks. There are some close groups, but nearly everyone agree about QB and RB being the worst. OT has a cliff after the first 6 dudes, just wait until the 4th. https://www.nfl.com/news/ranking-11-position-groups-in-2026-nfl-draft-from-strongest-to-weakest-edge-rusher-linebacker-loaded

Honestly this feels like a coaching problem. They have a certain "type" with "flaws" that they believe can be coached, the issue is mingo, XL, and others have not took to this "coaching". I thought the one group panthers would excel in would be WR, given Dave, brad, and Moore backgrounds( WR coach was a solid NFL WR). Just a wealth of WR coaching, but........ I also feel BYs confidence in XL is one of the main issue, its their relationship. I think BY trust the following- tremble, Tmac, Coker and that's all(maybe new Metchie) . There was a vid and XL and BY were repping together. I do feel if you put XL with about any of the top QB, you'd see some good numbers at times and you'd see a NFL WR.

Both of these guys do have sources...

me too, last year I wanted Tmac, but I also took the walker cheese. I still "think" the odds fav is WR, but I don't have a name. 4-5 WRs, no idea who. I mean Dave could be pulling a ruse with his " I don't draft depth in the 1st " stuff. I don't know, the teams drafting around the Panthers, I don't like the group....they are good drafting teams and a couple have similar needs. I think trade is the way, but again no clue on up or down. The feeling right now there only 13-15 players with 1st round grades......so why would they want a 2nd and 3rd for a 1st round player?> the 9000 IQ play maybe to trade back into early 2nd and getting a 2027 first to do so.... ugh.... too much and no firm clues.....

@MHS831 here's the new "watch out for ________ " The urn...... erra I know you don't follow speedruning... the run. Some team from 9-12 could start a run on either WR or OT. Both groups have around 5-6-7 players that could fall in the top 20 range, the deal with runs is the panic factor and after those 5-6-7 players there's a huge drop to 8-10 like wait until the late third round. That's the juciest forecast Ive heard. Panthers are in the dead man zone if that happens. One of those runs completely changes the draft plan. Id say 26.89% one of the urns happens..... carry on!!

hope has came my fend ...

Screw it put BOTH of them as running back in the I formation ...... If I was on defense, "Timeout TIMEOUT TIMEOUT!!, my hamstring suddenly got tight coach, no idea why...."

minus the 2024 draft....which could still get away better Dan has done about as good as a rookie GM could. He didn't have 1st overall pick or a future 2nd cause of the BY trade, that's a killer in building a team devoid of talent. He got the future 2nd back in a trade. Most of his FA big tickets have help, I know lloyd will without seeing him. He stole Michael Jackson and got draft picks for 79 year old Adam and Dalton. He's "fixed" the OL and DL with some depth, no other former GM had done that. Id say the team has gained talent form the time he took over, I know its a low line and all. Still that's the whole goal, add talent that helps make a winner. 2-5-8. Give him another full draft and full season and see how it goes. I feel like the team with solid QB play could give about any non-top 5 team all they want. Panthers did that twice with the rams and the MVP. That's was with guru Mccvay and them knowing evero....

Oooo philly without Embiid??

Yea there's a couple spots were "depth" is just a waste. 3 decent TEs with some hope, using a 4-7 rounder would have a tough time beating out Frank or "the mayor" for a job. There's room for a starter, not more of the same player. That's my take, besides I like either frank or the mayor for the 4th role. Just need one of those "develop" type UDFA on the PS..
