imagine writing a Kenny Pickett article...

His age is not in Panthers plans, just check ANY of the ages of outside FAs in the past two years. I believe even Brandt tilis said the low age was a top goal.

One thing I can say, They want players in the 25-27 age range(some excect like punter..). Wagner is older than many of the kickers currently, still producing, but I think its too much of a gap for what Panthers are targeting.....Now if Lloyd gos down with a bad injury, hope a player like bobby is still out there and takes your call.

Can we even buy real ham now?? I swear 95% of the stuff is injected with 15-30% "solution" whatever the fug that salty chemcail soup. Im been a dak guy for sooo long Im scared to know what its in it now....I can not say the times Ive gotten a3 am slice/s in the mouth....God help me if theres cheese within reach when the monster is out... Man some stone mustard, dak ham, and 40 cal "mystery" bread is one of gotos as poor poor man.....

?!?!?! did they also find meth in his luggage???

I swear with pcikett added, this HAS to be a bottom 3 draft room. Id take raiders over Panthers, about the only two Id say are lower Jets? Cards? that's about it. There's around 4-5 other groups in the talk, but Ive seen 3 years of BY and even a Murray or Sanders or Ward feel like a better options than Pickett or BY.... Im Soo happy about the other position group and the draft picks, then I think of the QB room and

I think Andy Reid taught me a lesson many moons ago. I always seem to find myself with a small group of players at the draft spot and thus more confused than normal. Andy- draft DL, you can not go wrong. They rotate more than other spots and get injuries more as well. Mind spark, "yes he's right". Thus I formed some draft "rules" over the years. Then college rules changed as well, thus les time for OL to learn the position. There's 3 spots I feel you need to draft every year- WR, OL, and DL. Of course not "100%", just each draft pool use 3 out of the 8 picks on those 3 is a good method. Each for different reasons, but Andy started it with his wisdom.

I was a former draft nut and had ample time in the 2010s. I too researched about the consensus top 150, it made me hate marty herniay more. Like you the other teams not knowing, it killed my "want to" to spend the hours. Teams are soooo much better now, but during that time it was after the mid 3rd, then everyone had different draft boards now. After early 5th, pure dart tossing by some teams. I stopped caring sooo much about the 6th and 7th rounds too(minus the Trey Smith >> LS, smith is the highest paid OG now).. Before like that I never cared much about about the draft, then I went full-draft nut...now Im more of a "normie" draft fan with cheats. Just a panther fan and whoever they pick, I try to support to my best....Even with BY, a was 100% against, but gave him until "I didn't do anything this off-season" with his his tooth-tick arms and "whatever mindset"/////. I mean I know much more around the guys in 15-30 than the top 10, except styles...... I've gone thought all draft phases, the current one is the best one for now...

That the point of using the mocks, at least for me. I too, do not follow college like I use too. Now you can use the mock sim and learn about players within the picks(or course it changes if trades happen). Still I look at pick 13-18 (same for other rounds)and include that into learning, cause even these draft sims don't know how teams will draft. Then you factor in needs and wants and BANG you have "cheated" your way into becoming a draft...a panther draft "expert". You can also use the public knowledge of player visits and layer it over the mock sims too, gives you another understanding. You don't need to "research" 150 players, just the ones around when Panthers are schedule to pick. Then you form "favorites" and such to make the draft more interesting. Now I've exposed myself, wave to those Canadian geese for me......

I got you a pre-view https://old.reddit.com/r/KansasCityChiefs/comments/1jzv6it/highlight_dontari_poe_being_a_unit_on_offense/

I think this is the guy with the biggest calfs in the league, like grown man Steve Smith calfs. I doubt its little over the min, no issue with bringing in former early picks for those types of deals. I mean maybe he can QB sneak.......(half joking)

We need to see how that plays out before handing out the props. 2027 7th for 4 million in 2026 cap space seems like a great deal for Panthers if that's the case. 4-8(incentives) million is the going bottom rate for backup QBs, I think Dalton was right there in the 4 range. Well bonus, BY no longer wearing Huggies now....(just holding Pickett's ting hand now..)

Best I got is AJ brown directs some some of "QB hate" from hurts to the rusty rifle... I mean did philly also take his salary too?? He had like 2.25 in guarantees and if so that lowers his cap increases his cap relief from 100,000 to 4,000,000+. That was a big issue from a release standpoint, 4 mill in cap space... I believe he also has around 2 mill in dead cap, but still better than 100,000 total..

Honestly he is about 50/50 to make the roster this year. Draft will be big if a early 1-3 pick is used on DL, that would drop his odds to like 20%.

its a 2 yr deal and I think its the going rate for bottom 1/3 of punter contracts. My members is he did pretty good for inside 20 and overall better than the QB ram dude.... I was about to start looking at the rookie punters, no lie... A couple punter signed new highest deal around 4 years 14 million this FA...

You simply cannot trust a true rookie FS. He has no clue at the levels of confusion and the level of athletes he is going against. Hed need to study non-stop in order to not be a total spaz. Its just one of weird spots.

Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY. I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

thats fair. I was beginning to think rookie punter was in the plans

Surprised CB is that low. 19th is odd spot. For many recent drafts, teams only felt there were around 14 first round players. So to many 19 is just an early second and doesn't hold the value of a first. If you go off- the smart path of LT, QB, edge, WR, CB, etc. Whatever your OG, Safety, ILB, etc needs to be a difference maker, that's the key point. I've said the 8th best edge is better than the 1st safety. Same for QB and even WRs. You should 100% factor in position value. MHS you've been wanting a FS, let me tell you its super difficult to be a difference making FS. You're just sooo farrrr away from the action and the end result most times. If you're in the play, defense made mistakes in order. Now to talk out of both sides, maaaaaann that white boy from Oregon....I thought he crushed the combine and honestly that alone made me rethink "is he worth 19 now?!?!" he's now in the discussion for me, but still below others. Plus I feel TE is vastly underrated in value terms. But looking at the last 20 years of TEs in the first, its down right bad. You're better like X10 better drafting one in 4th or 5th.

@TheSpecialJuan or @CarolinaLivin start a seasons saved thread, Panthers re-signed punter sam martin, two year deal

nick just got a bonus- extra 1,262,216, dang that's a nice bag...

I agree, Im getting worse. Even getting C Pat at pick 200 doesn't save this group. Its very boring too. I need a total reset and I have others that I feel are worse than this..... I've never been this bad over the years either.
