Well he shouldn't be depth if you invest 3 picks in him.

Could have gotten 3 LBs this year for depth. Jack Sanborn, Diego Fagot, and James Houston or one Brandon Smith?

Smith needs to start in 2 seasons or this is a waste. Even worse than the Devin Funchess trade. At least Funchess started for a bit before he was flushed.

Investing too much draft capital into individual players like Darnold, Corral, Marshall and Smith to even build a foundation.

Horrible front office.

We swapped two picks. Our 2 5ths for their 4th and 6th. Fourth rounders are usually delth/ possible starters down the road. If he ends up starting we did great.

Got it. I heard them say our 2 5ths and next years 5th for the Commies 4th when it was announced.

Still see better value LBs on the board so I don't like it, but not as bad as I thought.

He got passed over for a kicker. It doesn't get much worse than that. 

I thought it was decent chance that he would be a 4th, I just soured on him badly one weekend I drove in to the draft class. The poor UNC homers could not see, Im a UNC fan and overcame it. Even his measurables were awful... 

Id be up for him in the 6th, I do think he could beat out Walker........(maybe)

Mack and Longo totally tanked Sam’s draft stock by making him run all last season. They never bothered to develop his QB acumen. Sam and his family should be livid.

That happens to a lot a great prospects unfortunately.  Coaches are pressured to win and sometimes the player is sacrificed to try to make that happen. 

Its up to the scouts to determine what is left in the player that will translate to the nfl. It's a cruel business that chews these kids up and spits them out for the almighty dollar.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
