The best thing we could have done, and what I was a HUGE proponent of was getting the bridge QB a la Bridgewater and do it the right way this time.  We got Dalton, so the opportunity was there.  With a brand new staff and a fan base hungry for some success, this was the way to go.  Get some weapons on offense and draft the rookie in 2024.  Chance are we would have been a middling team and could have still got a QB without trading to #1 or trading up at all because the QB draft is so deep.  Not having the #1 overall would have taken away the urgency to play the rookie right away.  It's not uncommon for mid-first round QBs not to start their first season or sit at least a portion of the season.

If you know how much I enjoy the draft and see how absent I was in the draft forum after the trade with the Bears...it would make complete sense.

Or maybe trade up when the team is built. This one isn't even close.

I believe in taking your shot when the chance presents itself. It just looks like we shot our shot on the wrong QB.

Yeah, that's true, as well. I didn't have a problem with the move. I don't love the result so far. The kid(who was my horse in the race) better start looking like at least early Drew Brees the next couple of seasons.

I wish they would have brought Jameis in in 2020 and just started fliniging it all over the place. Would have still lost but would have been way more interesting.

Fitts couldn't hold his water one more draft and it will likely be his downfall.  I get the heat he was feeling, especially from Tepper, but man this draft will probably be the nail in his coffin as the Panthers GM

Drafting was NOT a mistake, every team would have taken Bryce with the top pick including the Texans which they even admitted. Including DJ to trade up is unacceptable which i have even stated when the trade was done. Trading away CMC for a 2nd round and some low picks is MUCH worse. I think we gave up more for a known bust in Sam D (3 seasons on the Jets) when most teams wouldn't offer more than a 4th round for him.

Now we have no playmakers for Bryce. Thanks Scott!

there's no "right way" with Tepper, the man been obsess with finding a franchise QB as soon as possible and throwing everything away for it because of his impatience

I never discuss molah amount in chat but it was big so now i am deep in the red heading into this early season but i have done really well in prior seasons including that Rams game a few years back game that i won BIG on. One rule I have, never bet for or against the Panthers, even if I am very sure on the outcome.

If we didn't give anything up for the #1 pick, sure, but if Young does not pan out then it was a bust of a trade package.  I wasn't aware we gave up a first round veteran and and first round pick for Darnold.

Tepper is scared to make the same mistake twice, so he keeps grasping at straws because he has no freaking clue what he is doing.  Just because someone makes a lot of money in one field does not make them a genius in all aspects.  Dude needs to stick to hedge funds and let the football people do their jobs.

We gave up a high 2nd round pick plus 2 more picks for Sam as the Jets GM played Scott by lying they got solid fictitious for him. BS! 49ers got Sam for nothing and the 2nd round we got from them is much lower considering how good a team they are. CMC hasn't lost a single game whenever he has starts for them! And I would NEVER our last playmaker in DJ in a trade to move up nor would any other GM as well. 49ers refused to trade Deebo or Aiyuk to move up for Trey Lance. Scott just don't get it 😞

      If Bryce doesn’t produce, we moving on?

      By CRA · Posted

      it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.

      Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.

      2025 Panthers Draft Class - Overview

      Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
