Funny enough, Pantherswire listed the ex-Panthers on the playoff teams and the majority of them were on the practice squads. Washington had the only roster where our ex-players were exclusively on the 53-man roster.

No.

It's a package deal with Shedeur. If Deion can't get assurances the Raiders trade up, I don't think he takes the job...assuming it's offered. I don't think Prime will be a great success in the Pros, but probably won't be a total failure either, say above average. Remember, the top three teams need QBs. The best scenario for team Sanders is two of the three QB needy teams go out and get someone in FA. I'm not sure the Titans grab a rookie again, so a veteran is probably in the cards for them. The Browns are in their 'win now' mode and don't have the time to develop a rookie, but you never know. Back when the Raiders were top 3 before a couple of late seasons wins, I thought Sheduer was the most likely spot being 'next door' to his pops in Colorado. I hypothesized that if the Raiders ended up with the #1 overall pick with Sheduer being the guy, Prime would bolt from the Buffs without a second thought. Everyone knew Pierce was a dead man walking, so a HC opening there was quite likely.

Ya don't say? Call Miss Cleo. The only question now is how does Sheduer last to #6?

Nix took everyone by surprise. I was higher on him than most, but a lot of people thought he had a very low ceiling. I'm telling you now, people crapping all over 5th year and Graduate QBs because they are 24 and 25-years old are missing the boat. Conversely, any QB younger than a true junior should come with major red flags--they are too underdeveloped.

Funny, Smith-Wade was the only pick I liked out of our entire class. Things that make you go hmmm...

Beside these QBs, one was shelved the whole year, one only started about half the season and the other a few games. The later two didn't look bad in their limited playing time, all things considered. Nix and Daniels are in the playoffs. Why couldn't we have waited one more dang draft to take our QB? 2026 is one draft away.

Just a small sample of 2026. I'm tell you all, unless Bryce can put an entire season together like his last several games this year, I'm all over that 2026 QB class. Beck will be in there too as he will be out of eligiblity.

If the Titans do too, then do the Giants reach for Milroe at #3? Big Yikes!

Still a skeptic. It's going take more than a handful of good games for me to change my mind that's he's better than average.

He's heading to the U. It must be nice to buy the best QB in the portal every year. I doubt he can duplicate what Cam Ward did thought.

Beck may back out of the NFL draft if he can pull a lucrative NIL deal. He went into the portal today. The 2026 QB draft keeps getting deeper and deeper. Not a huge Beck fan, but one more year of growth may change my mind.

5/10 across the board.

Some team will take a tackle.

I think he's a good rah-rah coach. He struck gold with the OL coach though. If this OL played like they did last year there would have been little noticeable improvement.

There definitely are. The problem being the talent of QBs this year. Titans and Giants are for sure looking in the draft. Raiders likely too, plus the Browns and Jets could be looking or their eventual replacement of their troubled starters beyond 2025 while sitting the rookie a year. A dark horse could be the Steelers. Like I've said before, this is a bad year to be needing a franchise QB. A backup? Sure, there's some decent candidates out there.

Has to be generational and Starks is not. Top 10 you take players that help make (QB, WR, OT) or break (Edge, CB) games. All other non-STs positions have to be close to, if not generational, for consideration.

A ball hawking safety; not an in-the-box safety. Great hands, but not overly aggressive given chase and definitely doesn't pop when tackling. He strikes me as corner.

ESPN is reporting the Bears are asking to interview McCarthy. I guess his contract hasn't quite expired yet.

If he kills it in the offseason workouts he will be. Remember, this dude came up just a few yards short of breaking Berry Sanders record.

They have to declare by what, the 15th? If PSU makes it to the championship game, he's going to run out of time. Fingers crossed they do. That would make the 2026 QB class that much more loaded.

That's my guy too among the top 3 Edge players.

I'm leary of Pearce. I've seen several comps to Brian Burns. A wiry edge guy, but a liability in the run game. Sacks numbers will get him drafted higher than he probably should go. A one-dimensional guy.

I know how to mock my front 7 now staying with the 3-4 scheme.
