I think TMac and the Tackles are going to be the BPAs at our pick. I see the two QBs and Hunter, Graham, Carter and Johnson being the top 6. Unfortunately, even if 1 of them fall, I think the Jets will steal that player.

I would be thrilled if we were in the position to draft the top OL, but I dont think Campbell gets by the pats

Considering our needs and our R2-3 draft history, I think you gotta call about Wilson. He would be a prized get, a tier above the other potential trade targets.  See what the deal is and what we could swing.  Why tf not. 

Regarding those other targets, with our FO's obsession with a certain type, it wouldn't surprise me if we call SEA about Metcalf.  Maybe send a feeler out for Deebo too.   Elsewhere, I think Michael Pittman could be a very interesting guy to call about.  He shines any time there's consistent QB play (which has been few and far between in IND)

FA wise, Higgins will obviously be a target, but I just don't see us being the winning bid.  Godwin, I'd actually like to see us pursue.  Outside of that, I don't see anyone jumping out that would want me to push aside Coker & XL's playing time for.  Some of the other proven vets are kind of past the cliff and the young talent is very mid.  Would rather draft competition.

I wouldn't give up draft capital for a #1. This defense is devoid of talent in crucial positions. And this is the draft to greatly improve that side of the ball. We've gotta stop thinking we're smarter than everyone else. Draft defense heavy in a defensive draft. Draft offense heavy in an offensive draft. We did that last year, just gotta get away from those damn RAS scores - and injured players. Side note - I honestly think we could have drafted Ladd and XL last year if we would have held put. Ladd at 33 and XL at 39. 

We don't need a #1 WR. We need weapons. Guys that know what to do with the ball in their hands. I just don't feel like we have that right now. Bryce looks like the most elusive player on the team. That is not a good thing. We can find weapons 3rd - 5th rounds. Now that I think about it, I don't want Bryce thinking he has to force the ball to any player - see Diontae Johnson. That's not his game and I don't think he has the velocity to force passes like Penix and Nix. 

Draft BPA. Fortunately/Unfortunately we need EVERYTHING right now. With a heavy focus on defense early.

So we are still trying to 'fix' the offense while our defense is historically horrid.  Spot on for our Panthers.  I see what is going on and it's dumb. If Thielen retires, then I kinda get it. On the other hand if we trade for a #1 WR and still can't make the playoffs next year, then it's time to clean house--again. Fug it, i'm over baby steps and moral victories.

Screw it. Honestly, if the best player on your team is a WR, and also the highest paid, you've got nothing but troubles coming up.

See Dallas.

Develop receivers, grab FAs from the second round of grabs and draft here and there. It's an important position, but save draft capital for players involved in every single snap, such as QBs, o-line and d-line, LBs, DBs.

A great receiver can break a game open. A big name receiver with a good agent can break the bank and the team's future.

I've always believed in putting resources in oline, dline and qb. If you are good in those 3 position groups you can be competitive every year.

As happy as I am with how the season finished, we still have a lot of needs. I don't think we will be able to address them all in the draft. May take some creative solutions, like what is mentioned here. Our roster has a large quantity of guys that just aren't NFL caliber players. In that way, if we can just keep the same quantity of draft picks, or potentially get a higher number of draft picks, I'm not all that opposed to some draft day trades. If through that we land at Garrett Wilson somehow, let's go.

      I think the main goal is adding talent. O,D, depth, and ST all of it.  Personally I believe the Panthers must use either the 1st or 2nd round pick on a pass catching weapon. Then you can use the remaining picks on D ala 2020.  No One wants to say it, fans, folks in sales, Dan, Dave, this is going to longer than the up coming draft. Just lack of talent and depth, it shows.  BY benefits no matter if the defense improves or he gets another legit weapon. Just make the overall team better and deeper. Dan has 9 picks and he did great this past UDFAs(three player have a good chance to have real roles in 25). I think in 2026 there's 160 million in cap space as well, Id pass on using it this year like they have done in past years. This FA class is buns.  Even though its rarely used, Dan isn't scared to make a trade. He made a couple draft trades, 2xdionte Johnson, and Michael Jackson.
