I don’t understand the complaints about this signing not realizing what we have trotted out there last couple of years. Ian Thomas would not even be on most teams roster 

Are people really complaining? We've needed a tight end as badly as we needed a LT after Gross retired. A player that demands safety and linebacker attention in the pass game immediately makes receivers jobs much, much easier.

I'm sure DJ Moore is banging his head on the wall right now.

Mahomes just won a SB with a bunch of mediocre WRs. Scheme and good QB can get a lot done. 

Mahomes already has an argument for GOAT NFL player frankly. Stroud or Young could turn into an elite franchise QB and still not be all that close to Mahomes' level. But I generally agree with your point that coaching, elite OL, franchise QB can all make a lack of weapons moot. There's a lot of ways to skin a cat. If we don't have many weapons we'll need to have great efficient play calling and QB play limiting turnovers and a great D. Especially in today's NFL where putting up points is so important. I don't expect to contend as soon as this year so we have a couple years to build out our skill position groups too. I'm just thrilled we have a top OL in place and continuity there to keep our rookie comfortable from go.

We officially have a tight end that is actually capable of doing all the tight end things.  

Thomas has been a forever work in progress, Tremble is a work in progress.  Dissapointed this isn't Schultz but he offers more flexibility than what Gesicki would bring.

If not Schultz, it was Hurst or Tonyan.  Maybe Moreau.

Always felt meh about him, but he’s a solid all around TE, and that will be great for our rookie QB. Now we can also draft and develop a young TE. TEs usually take a while before they contribute. I’m just waiting to see what the cost is.

LOL what a clown

Never understood the logic of that.

I get that he's afraid of turnovers but a whole lot of touchdowns are scored that way. You're going to sacrifice those potential touchdowns just out of fear that something bad might happen?

Rhule was such a dumbsh-t 🙄

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      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.
