  2. From the Charlotte observer today Second round: No. 39: Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia The Panthers’ needs at cornerback are more glaring than most realize. Jaycee Horn is an emerging star but has played in 16 games in two seasons. A foot fracture cost him 14 games of his rookie season in 2021. Last year he started 13 games but missed time due to two different injuries. A rib injury suffered in Week 5 kept him out of two games. He returned in Week 8 but broke his hand seven weeks later that ended his season. Horn’s injuries forced him to miss both games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 and 17, respectively. The depth behind Horn is shaky at best. Veteran Donte Jackson will return next season, but he’s recovering from a Week 10 Achilles injury. Jackson turns 28 years old in November. C.J. Henderson flashed at times last year but struggled against opposing No. 1 receivers after Jackson and Horn were out. Keith Taylor is only entering his third season, but he underwhelmed during extended action last year. The Panthers projected top-four cornerbacks were all acquired under a different head coach. It is unclear how the new Panthers regime feels about their defensive backs. Carolina signed safeties Vonn Bell and Eric Rowe during free agency. If new defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero wants a cornerback then targeting one at No. 39 would make sense. At 6 foot 2 and 205 pounds, Georiga cornerback Kelee Ringo has desirable measurables. He ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. As a two-year starter for the Bulldogs, Ringo was a key part of the team’s top-ranked defense. There are questions about his small-area quickness. He’ll need to develop into a capable man-coverage defender. But the Panthers have the infrastructure in place to develop a young, athletic cornerback into a star. Third round: No. 93 (via SF): Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State Fourth round: No. 114: Blake Freeland, OT, BYU Fifth round: No. 145: Andre Carter, Edge, Army
  3. Yes. And come Thursday, we trade ‘Superman’ for ‘Mighty Mouse’
  4. Too bad his wife wasn’t there to stop it.
  5. Very big of you however, he is a sketchy weasel at best … and that’s giving short shrift to the weasel
  6. If you did it during Sam Darnold’s press conferences, you would be dead after 15 mins
  7. You mentioned her twice, once in parentheses, in this thread and I only read two pages of this pablum and you have in other threads too come on man don’t play dumb, because you aren’t she is the default co owner…she has a title…it’s her husband She can go wherever she wants to and do whatever Dave wants her to do im glad she’s involved he may have the money but she appears to have common sense and god knows this franchise could use some of that for what it’s worth, you were not real kind to Verge either
  8. why does Tepper’s wife bug you so much ? if something happens to ole Dave, she is THE owner better she be involved than not and hey, she isn’t the one who hired Rhule…,that was her husband’s brilliant idea
  9. Supposedly, David slew Goliath Then again that was the Bible……
  10. This is a smart move add to it that Corbett is coming off a acl in January and it makes total sense granted Brady is coming off ankle surgery too but he was not a horrible LT either. He struggled on the right side but he can improve can never have enough quality lineman particularly with a smallish QB
  11. Nicole Tepper before Bryce’s pro day https://www.google.com/search?q=nicole+tepper+hugging+bryce+young&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS687US687&oq=nicole+tepper+hugging+bryce+young&aqs=chrome..69i57.13078j0j7&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#imgrc=av6Jvl0Fyod1wM
  12. People on here complain when the Panthers aren’t relevant… … then complain when they are. Everything is ‘click bait’ when a NFL team owns a number one pick … yes there are other important draft picks (obvious) but the number 1 pick for any franchise should be special Some folks pretend to be ‘too cool for school’ but they will read the thread anyway.
  13. I created a separate link for this didn’t see this one apologies According to David Newton of ESPN, the Panthers will bring in University of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young for his top-30 visit on Tuesday. This’ll directly follow the first of four in-house visits for the 2023 NFL draft’s top passing prospects—with University of Florida’s Anthony Richardson strolling through Charlotte today.

  15. I think it’s pretty good I trust the coaching staff …even if the pick is AR. It’s their jobs and reputations at stake Stating the obvious, one thing is certain, Bryce isn’t Cam Gotta continually beef up that oline and backups given the serious injuries and.surgeries to the starting Gs, taking that young guard is smart
  16. First round: No. 1 pick ▪ Name: Bryce Young ▪ Position: QB For a second consecutive mock draft, I have the Panthers selecting Young. He was the best quarterback in college football, and the evaluation process validated that. There has been a lot made about new head coach Frank Reich’s history with taller quarterbacks. He has never started a quarterback under 6 foot 3 (Phillip Rivers, Andrew Luck, Carson Wentz, Nick Foles and Matt Ryan). But Reich did not draft any of those quarterbacks. Reich also shared that he had a high draft grade on Russell Wilson in 2012. General manager Scott Fitterer was the Seahawks’ director of college scouting when Seattle selected Wilson. History aside, Young is the best quarterback prospect available. He’ll thrive within any offense the Panthers install as long as he is protected by an elite offensive line. Second round: No. 39 pick ▪ Name: Darnell Washington Position: TE ▪ School: Georgia Darnell Washington has a varying range of outcomes according to several mock drafts or draft simulators. If he’s available at No. 39then the Panthers should take a chance on the 6-foot-7 tight end. Washington is an in-line tight end with extraordinary size and length. He’d become an instant red-zone threat and provide the next Panthers quarterback with a favorable catch radius. Washington is a straight-line runner who quickly builds speed. At only 21 years old, there is a chance he could improve his short-area quickness to become a more complete route runner. There are other names to watch at No. 39. Jordan Addison (USC), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (Ohio State) and Zay Flowers (Boston College) are all expected to be drafted in the first round but would benefit Carolina if any were to fall. There should also be a surplus of pass-rushing talent available at pick No. 39. Mazi Smith (Michigan), Tuli Tuipulotu (USC), Derick Hall (Auburn), Bryan Bresee (Clemson), Will McDonald (Iowa State), B.J. Ojulari (LSU), Fleix Anudike-Uzomah (Kansas State) and Adetomiwa Adebawore (Northwestern) all have Round 2 or 3 grades according to multiple NFL evaluators. Finding a play-making pass catcher, or a starting defensive lineman is critical at No. 39. Third round: No. 93 pick ▪ Name: Chandler Zavala ▪ Position: G ▪ School: NC State This is the first mock draft where I’ve had the Panthers draft an offensive lineman. There are a few reasons why. First, it’s important to build upon roster strengths, especially up front. Second, the Panthers’ interior options are not necessarily deep. Guard Austin Corbett is recovering from a Week 18 ACL injury. Brady Christensen is a capable inside protector, but the team also needs a swing tackle. It’s also unclear whether Cade Mays is a future starter or a career backup. Reuniting Zavala with former Wolfpack teammate Ikem Ekwonu would equip Carolina with another upside option across the offensive line. Like a defensive back or pass rusher, a team can never have too many talented offensive linemen. Zavala played just five games in 2021 due to a back injury but was fully healthy in 2022. He played the entire season without allowing a sack and only one quarterback hit, according to Pro Football Focus. He’s capable of playing either guard or tackle. Fourth round: No. 114 pick ▪ Name: Jayden Reed ▪ Position: WR School: Michigan State Michigan State receiver Jayden Reed falling to pick No. 114 would help the Panthers. Reed is built like a complete receiver. At 6 feet, 185 pounds, he plays bigger than his frame. Reed can play outside or in the slot. He’s explosive in short-yardage situations and uses his quick-twitch athleticism to open on underneath routes. Reed would likely compete with Laviska Sheneult Jr. and Shi Smith for a backup receiver role, but the Panthers need to draft and develop pass-catching talent after trading DJ Moore. Fourth round: No. 132 pick Name: Zach Evans ▪ Position: RB School: Ole Miss The Panthers signed running back Miles Sanders to a lucrative free agent deal, but Carolina still lacks size at the position. It’s unclear how Reich and the new coaching staff feel about incumbent running backs Chubba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear. Drafting a running back would not be an endorsement for either. Evans uses his 6-foot, 215-pound frame to punish defenders. He’s a proven short-yardage runner who can also pop explosive plays. The Rebels also routinely trusted Evans in pass protection. Coming out of high school, Evans was the No. 2 running back prospect behind Texas running back Bijan Robinson. Fifth round: No. 145 pick ▪ Name: Carrington Valentine Position: CB ▪ School: Kentucky Carrington Valentine spent the past two seasons stifling SEC receivers. According to Pro Football Focus he forced 14 pass defections and had one interception. He’s an involved run defender with 108 tackles, 80 of which were solo. His 6-foot, 190-pound frame is favorable against larger NFL pass catchers. Panthers cornerback Donte Jackson is recovering from a Week 10 Achilles tear and backup Keith Taylor did not perform well during an increased role last season. As a former wide receiver, Valentine displayed astute ball skills for a defensive back.
  17. Don’t pay any attention to the people clicking negatively on your post your opinion is just as valid as anyone else’s no one knows who the pick is going to be
