This is the correct answer. They are also going to make sure they do not repeat the Darnold and Mayfield mistakes with another first round pick. They are committed to seeing this through.

Nobody is suggesting that we do draft developmental players. I'm suggesting that if everything is equal take the tackle. And by the way every player drafted need some form of development.

Everyone in the draft is a gamble. They do not come with guarantees ro be anything other than what they were when you drafted them. Some will start due to necessity and others because they have terrible coaches trying to save their jobs. Truthfully, only 1 or 2 should or could play day 1. So if you think a first round selection means anything you are overestimating these guys or your expectations are way too high.

Who says whomever they draft doesn't have a chance to start? You guys are looking at this completely wrong.

I guess it's good thing Marty didn't think that way when he drafted Luke while he had Beason already as the starter.

He's trying to do his best Tepper impression and give up a kings ransom for an edge rusher. I hope it cripples them for years.

I think the jury is still out on the team building and culture thing. Let's see how this season plays out before we take a vote.

"If he can stay healthy". Let that sink in for a minute and tell me that sounds like a first round pick.

Its really more hype than substance. This season will have a lot to do with his future here. I personally don't have much faith in the guy but that's why they play the games.

They better hope they've answered the qb situation. If not they will have to hope that there's a loaded tackle class next year. They have a lot to think about between now and when they are on the clock.

I think he's the decenting voice in the room that keeps them in check when he can. He tells them the consequences of every decision from a financial and team building perspective that has long been missing in the building.

The way I see it is they will have to decide when they want to address the tackles. I would prefer they do it this draft and use next year's 1st on qb. If they don't do it this draft that means they plan to next year which takes qb off the table.

Cooper is a slot receiver and though we need one the 1st round is too high. The tackles are deep in the 1st round but after that it's just guys converting to guard in the nfl. I think there are 4 true tackle prospects on day 1 so it will depend on who's left when we pick. If none of them are then I would consider CB or S as that is probably the best available for us and helps the team more than a slot receiver at this time.

Its not depth. Its your starting left or right tackle in 2027. Honestly they could be starting before this season is over.

I've done my homework on the guys who could be there at our pick and the best available to us will not be a WR or TE. We are 1 injury away to the oline to be looking down the barrel of another losing season. You tell me what position is going to help avoid that.

Based on what? Its certainly not his in game coaching prowess.

This one you do. He's that good.

I'm undecided on him and that group right now. Its going to take a few seasons to see if they contribute anything meaningful to the process.

This is the draft to get a good ILB. I agree with Baldy about Rodriguez. He's definitely the best one in this draft. He could definitely start day 1 and I would love to see him in a Panthers uniform.

That's entirely up to AJ Dillon.

Like I said, those 2 are not cut out for MLB or WLB in a 4-3 base defense. You certainly will have to double dip if you are going to switch. You will need to get a MLB for sure because Lloyd is the weekside backer. You need a middle linebacker from the draft and better depth behind him. Wallace is a backup to Lloyd. Rodriguez is better suited for ILB in a 3-4 base. Its a minor difference but it does matter.

The team doesn't have enough off the ball lbs to switch to 4-3 base. As a matter of fact they don't have but 1 off the ball startling worth a contract. Dan has some work to do.

I'm not sold on their ability to do much of anything. The only FO person I have faith in is Tillis. Dan and Dave still has some work to do to impress me or give me the faith that they can turn the team around.

There's no way that they can spin it as bpa no matter who's sitting there. I'm not buying any of this talk.

Three of those guys are 1 year rentals, and yes I'm including TMo. He's only going to be guaranteed as starter this coming season and that's if he holds up another season. We have no depth to speak of to boot. I think they need to start considering the future of the offensive line and grab great talent from the draft when it presents itself. They cannot afford to pass on olinemen when these guys are sitting there at our pick again.
