BACK TO REALITY: The future can still be promising. We are not far off from fixing our line

I was exited at the thought of having a top franchise QB like most, even though in my heart I knew we could be trading way too much to do so. I believe it’s because we have been hopeless the last couple years and this was a spark. Now that we have come to the reality that Watson is our new most hated QB in the South, I wanted to focus on the state of our team, and how close we could be to correcting our biggest weakness (other than QB obviously.)

@VergeMentioned in another thread that the Panthers have been eying center Bradley Bozeman from the Ravens. If we make a move like this we could be one pick or FA away from being MUCH more talented than last years line. We would then look like this:

LT: Number 6 overall stud Rookie or FA, LG: Christensen, Center: Bozeman, RG: Corbett, RT: Moton 

We could also sign a top free agent LT and trade back in the draft and get a center and QB (we still have many options to plug holes)

Tell me that does not excite you compared to the train wreck we fielded last season along with our new brass balls O line coach. We have a team full of young talent, and we would then be a QB and coach away from competing. We have shown that we will do whatever we can to land a top QB so that could come after this upcoming season when our cap looks sweet and the future of the franchise looks even sweeter when we fire the fraud Rhule. 
 

With us missing out on Watson, how would you move forward if you were GM  Huddlers?

Need to go as young as possible this year and play for the No.1 Overall pick in next year's draft. Sign the least amount of FA possible and play the young guys. Let Darnold play us into that No.1 overall slot then we fire Rhule and go into next year with a new HC, No.1 overall pick, and lots of cap space. No point in trying to win this season to save Rhule's job what would be the point in that?

Rhule plays a huge part in winning and losing.  Players don’t want to lose.  It’s not easy to get the #1 pick.  Nobody in Charlotte will be laying down next year.  

(Much to the detriment of the team.)

I'm pretty sure Rhule won't need to throw games with the way he coaches he's perfectly capable of coaching us to that #1 overall pick without changing much of anything

I'm sure the offense will be better than it was in 2021 as long as Darnold is not the starting QB. Darnold should never see the field as the Panthers starting QB again.

The offensive line will certainly be better, especially if they draft a LT at #6. The addition of Foreman shows they are going to commit to the power run game. I think Marshall Jr has a better second season after showing promise last preseason. 

The main issue as always will be the starting QB. I wouldn't mind seeing Mariota signed as a stopgap this season. If Baker Mayfield can be had as a 1 season tryout for a 4th or 5th round pick I think it's a no brainer.

I think you start to see us make some big signings today and this weekend now that we are out of the Watson sweepstakes.  We have plenty of cap space - and can easily create more if we want to.  Time to make a splash and truly improve this team with difference makers.

Thank you for your post. It's very refreshing. I still want to love this team. Let's work hard and GET BETTER. We have to believe in the coaches that we brought in to do their thing. The positive thing is,we have a very young team.

That’s true if history is any indicator.  But if losing this year counted as winning, he’d win out of spite.

      Draft Grades

      By jfra78 · Posted

      SI https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-draft-grades-analysis-for-every-team#_s4q414nom Grade: A- Analysis: The Panthers’ gamble to neglect the defense in the first round paid off, with the team selecting talented edge rushers Scourton and Umanmielen. But their prize from this draft class is the 6' 4", 213-pound McMillan, who will make life easier for Bryce Young because of his massive catch radius. McMillan got dinged a bit in the lead-up to the draft due to a few concerns with his work ethic, but he has the skill set to be the best wideout from this class when it’s all said and done. It’s tough to gauge where the Panthers are in their rebuild, but they’re finally giving Young a fair shake to succeed. —GM PFF https://www.pff.com/news/draft-grades-for-all-32-teams-2025-nfl-draft#car A+ 1 (8): WR Tetairoa McMillan, Arizona McMillan — The Panthers continue to build around Bryce Young, who led the NFL in big-time throws from Week 8 through the end of the regular season. Now, he has another downfield target. McMillan has been one of the most productive receivers in college football over the past two seasons, ranking in the 85th percentile or better among qualifying NCAA wideouts in receiving grade versus single coverage, yards per route run and contested-catch rate. 2 (51): ED Nic Scourton, Texas A&M Scourton — The Panthers trade up the board for an opportunity to add much-needed firepower on the defensive side of the ball. Scourton, the 29th-ranked player on the PFF Big Board, has an alluring combination of size and pass-rush moves, as well as the versatility to play in 3-4 or 4-3 fronts. Over the past two seasons, his 91.7 PFF pass-rush grade against true pass sets charted in the 94th percentile. 3 (77): ED Princely Umanmielen, Ole Miss Umanmielen — The Panthers moved up to target some pass-rush help with the selection of Umanmielen. The Ole Miss product was the No. 50 overall player on the PFF Big Board, and his 91.1 PFF grade ranked sixth among players at the position in 2024. 4 (114): RB Trevor Etienne, Georgia Etienne — At 5-foot-9 and 205 pounds, Trevor Etienne, brother of Jaguars running back Travis Etienne, is stoutly built and it showed on tape, as he forced 30 missed tackles on 126 rushing attempts. Despite missing time throughout various points of the season, Etienne still managed to rush for nine touchdowns while putting the ball on the ground only once. With Chuba Hubbard’s emergence this past season, Etienne provides Carolina with a power back who can spell him in short-yardage situations. 4 (122): S Lathan Ransom, Ohio State Ransom — Carolina continues to address areas of need on their defense by selecting Ransom after already adding a couple of edge defenders in previous rounds. The Panthers ranked 31st last season in explosive pass percentage allowed at 17.6% overall and now add to their secondary. 5 (140): DI Cam'Ron Jackson, Florida Jackson — Ranked No. 130 on the PFF Big Board, Jackson is a massive presence who can control the point of attack against the run. He posted an 80.9 run-defense grade last season along with a 9.3% run-stop rate. 5 (163): TE Mitchell Evans, Notre Dame Evans — Evans dominated defenders with the ball in the air in 2024, posting an impressive 72.7% contested-catch rate. 6 (208): WR Jimmy Horn Jr., Colorado Horn — Horn earned a 65.1 receiving grade last season while averaging 11.9 yards per reception. NFL.COM https://www.nfl.com/news/2025-nfl-draft-final-snap-grades-for-all-32-teams B- McMillan could be a threat in the mold of Drake London, but Carolina might have been better served by drafting one of the top tight ends (Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren) or defensive players (Jalon Walker) at No. 8. The Panthers doubled up on pass rushers Scourton and Umanmielen on Day 2. They could have improved the secondary with one of those picks, though, and found another edge defender on Saturday. Carolina used the fourth-round pick it received from Dallas in the Jonathan Mingo trade to select Etienne. That decision stood out since the team rewarded Chuba Hubbard with an extension last year, signed Rico Dowdle in free agency and spent a top-50 pick on Jonathon Brooks, who is recovering from his second ACL tear in as many years, in 2024. Ransom's downhill play should get him on the field for the Panthers quickly, as will the size and surprising agility of run-stopper Jackson. I expect Evans to thrive early in his career in 12 personnel. CBS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2025-nfl-draft-grades-for-every-team-giants-raiders-commanders-deliver-steelers-49ers-receive-poor-marks/amp/ I love the way general manager Dan Morgan approached this draft. Get Bryce Young a premier weapon first, then throw loads of resources at the defense. Scourton and Umanmielen have polished games and rocked in the SEC at defensive end.  Etienne is a young runner with Chuba Hubbard-like ability, and Ransom will provide stability at safety. Jackson blocks out the sun on the interior, and Evans is an overachieving tight end who could become a favorite security blanket for Young.  Grade: A-

      The NFL average for running backs on the active roster is 3.6. Cleveland was the only teams to carry less than 3. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BB0RlET2BU3TiotTmk6hMWl-36d06VAaSLUsr4jS_hM/pubhtml
