Hope for the best. Plan for the worst. This is a great opportunity where availability and quality of prospects align perfectly with a hugh need at a critical position on the team. But I fear as in a previous situation with center in a recent draft the team will waste this opportunity.

I'm thinking he parts ways with all of them, qb included. He will at minimum put pressure on Morgan to fix the situation if they don't finish first in the nfcs. I'm assuming they cannot back their way in 2 years in a row.

Yes. We are asking for 2 first round picks in the 2026 draft. I think we can get more.

I guess I misunderstood your point. My point is that this this team cannot afford to pass up taking a starting tackle just because he doesn't need to start this season. I still contend that there is a 50% chance he would end up starting by midseason if not outright winning the job in camp.

We are doomed to watch this experiment play out at least one more season. I'm not sure Tepper can take any regression from last season as I think that will be the floor for this coaching staff. I would like to think the expectation is double digit wins this season. But I'm not seeing it as things stand right now. There's a lot at stake for quite a few individuals on the team this season. I'm predicting Teppers patience will be severely tested.

Nope.

Just because they are ranked high among their class doesn't mean it's a good class.

I have this gut feeling they are going to extend him. Nothing they've done suggests otherwise.

He was a RT because they wanted him to play. That wasn't his natural or chosen position. He was drafted to play LT.

None of the qb's they've met with have any possibility of challenging anyone on an nfl roster. Not one.

Each draft is different and you cannot use a previous draft to predict the value of positions in the current draft. It doesn't work that way.

He's got to be trolling the fans at this point.

Our qb room.

He's the best 3 down ILB and the best coverage LB in this draft. He wasn't in the Heisman discussion for nothing. His only knock is his height but go watch his tape. The kid is a baller and is in the mold of a Panther LB.

Your best indicator for how the top half of the draft will play out is to look at what position each team desperately needs an upgrade. That should help you somewhat determine who they may take ahead of us. It's really not going to be a true bpa order.

He ranks this kid as a day 2 pick and he expects the Panthers to draft him at 19?

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.
