SOJA

just read the thread. I would like to say that the team not being sold to Tepper is an absolute banger of an answer and probably the right one

"If you could change any one instant in Carolina Panther history, ... just ONE, ... what would it be? Initial gut reaction when I first thought of this question is Kasay kicks it in bounds on the kickoff, but unfortunately I still think New England wins that game even with that My second instinct was pulling Bene out before he breaks his leg in the playoffs. My crackpot theory is if he never gets hurt we win the superbowl. I refuse to go back and watch the game but at some point Peyton throw an absolute duck that should have been pick 6'd. but because we were on our like fifth outside corner he was slow to the ball. this would have completely flipped that game because I'm pretty sure Denver scored that drive and the next one was the Cam sack fumble

agree

the funny thing about that draft is if we just never do that trade, re-sign Darnold to a one year deal, draft Jalen Carter We likely end up with Caleb Williams or Drake Maye the next year and have Jalen carter plus all of that other draft capital

yea this place is a relic of the old internet and I mean that in the best way possible

T Mac coker Brazell are locks I put Tremayne as a near lock they really like him a lot and he adds a lot So that leaves two spots for Moore, Horn, metchie and XL If had to guess right now Metchie gets cut, they try to stash away Horn on the PS and XL and Moore are on the team

Dan absolutely crushed it It's crazy because during the Hurney and Fitterer years most draft picks I was disappointed by or had to a lot of mental gymnastics to convince myself it was a good pick Now every selection I'm immediately like, great pick So fuging refreshing

we needed a nose, I love this.

getting a potential Pro-Bowl/All Pro LT should always be on a team's radar, at pick 19 it's a no brainer.

OT is a MAJOR need and let's all be honest, Ickey, even before the injury has been up and down. Freeling has All Pro potential. if he had gone back to UGA he's probably a top 5 pick. this is an EXCELLENT pick. He can even take a redshirt year this year

i have no sources but reading the tea leaves this is how I see the Panthers board 1- Thieneman 2- Freeling/Proctor 3- Trade down and try to get KC concepcion 4- KC Concepcion

I think fans are a little higher on this guy than the NFL, good player but hes a day 2 pick

I used to like Solak but now I can't stand him. He has a clear anti-panthers bias. On the live FA reaction pod he was so excited to hear that Phillips had maybe re-signed in Philly but once he learned it was Carolina he hated the move. He ranked us below Atlanta, fuging Atlanta, on his FA hauls rankings.

I love Bud Clark I agree, he is going to be a steal for some team ; great football player

which is why I'm happy Dan has filled out the roster nicely, gives us a chance to just take good talent and not worry about position

agree It would be nice to have a player on the back end that can make plays for us

I agree, I just feel like there has been so much vitriol

he has the range to be a true FS which I don't think we've had in .....forever

so I just want to get something off here. Is cheating bad? Yes. Should you do it? No But the amount of blood lust I've seen for people coming after Dianna calling for her to be fired is astounding. People are obsessed with tearing others down but I gurantee all of those people have done poo in their life too and would cry foul play if someone called for their jobs

walterfootball is truly a fuging idiot. he just capitalized on being one of the first draft websites

if we trade down and get him in the late twenties and add another day 2 pick sign me up

I wish we could have kept him for depth/special teams but he was way too inconsistent at LB to be a starter. He'd make some plays but was a liability in the passing game - no shot against him being a coverage LB in the modern NFL is nearly impossible with offenses now lining up their best WR in the slot a lot of the time

I'd list the following in terms of needing an upgrade at the starter position 1- LB 2 2- NB 3- TE 4- NT 5- FS 6- WR 3 Now if you talk about rookie depth we need OT C outside CB Edge So if the draft goes something like round 1 - OT round 2- LB Round 3- CB/FS/NB round 4- C I'd be pretty happy

please make it an old school "authentic" mesh jersy, not this current nike crap

over the years I have really lost a lot of respect for Solak. He used to be a great with good breakdowns and had great draft coverage. Now he's become an ESPN talking head w/ obvious biases which are annoying
