Keanu Neal will be the pick

It makes the most sense once you factor in everything. 

Since arriving Dave has focused on controlling the middle of the field in most of his drafts. DTs, OGs( remember kugzilla), LBs, RBs etc etc. Neal is a homing missile and controls the middle of field. Hes like a lighter faster shaq and he's even better kid off-field like Luke. Neal just has the most of what the panthers currently want in a draft pick.

Not saying I agree, cause I don't see any safety as 1st worthly. 

Regardless I'm not a beating man, but I'm willing to bet there's a 99.99598% chance he doesn't get passed the panthers.

I believe the craven noise about panthers being in love, is total BS (as far as 1st rounder). They're just picking a 1/2 riser in the same position, to cover their true love for Neal.

My main reason being remember the 2014 draft when all the rage/talk was the Cody Latimer? Ricky was seen hanging out having dinners with him, it was thick.

Then come draft time, Dave cannot turn in the card fast enough for KB.

I'd be happy with Neal, Joesph or Cravens

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
