This feels like the longest wait ever

[NAS]

I don’t remember ever anticipating the NFL draft so much.

Even when we drafted Cam I wasn’t this impatient because I knew what was coming. This draft has me counting the hours and minutes. It feels like the most consequential draft in decades.  For year 2 of Rhule regime, they have to hit a homerun and take the next step towards becoming a winning franchise.  There are so many unknowns. Do Panthers truly believe Darnold is the answer and draft a top LT, do they still draft a QB, maybe trade back and fill more holes on the roster? 

I don’t care anymore let’s fugin go!

It’s true

Tell me about it. 

[Wolfcop]

Indeed - seems like it should have been this week instead of next. 

[Moo Daeng]

Likely a by product of many posters jumping to draft talk and complaining about wins mid season. The draft is more followed than the games

It is very late. I think they’ve been having it later and later. I don’t remember it ever going into May. Day 3 will be May 1st.

ETA: I found 2014 and 2015 that went into May. 2014 was May 8-10, HFS that would have sucked this year. Since 2010, 2010 was the earliest 4/22-4/24 and 2014 was the only one that started in May. Seemed like April 25th-29th was when most were, so some would have started this weekend.

Darnold will not affect whether we draft tackle or QB.

You guys should read and/or exercise more.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

It usually is around April 23rd or whatever. I hate that they added another week to the wait.

[hepcat]

I don’t care that much. Team is gonna disappoint all of us as always

One more day to go!  The anticipation is almost over
