We Haven't Drafted a Defensive Player in R1 Since 2021.

This has absolutely nothing to do with our defensive struggles.

At any given time, even a great team that is good at drafting has probably 5-7 of their own first round draft picks still on the roster.  You need a lot more than good first round picks to build a good offense or defense, let alone a full team.

The Panthers have also let players go to other teams that were higher draft picks. Burns, Jackson, Chin, Gross Matos all left after 2023. Perhaps letting these go was correct but the point is even when they do draft they either don’t develop them or they pick the wrong guys.
 

Back during the last SB run, the core of the team were high draft picks in defense and offense. Most of those drafted were Hurney picks and this was a big discussion that Gettleman got to the SB with mostly Hurney players. 
The Tepper years have been a myriad of coaching changes, GM changes, scheme changes and player changes with no consistency. Let’s hope both Teppers will allow their football people to make the football decisions going forward and this sinking ship will start floating again.

      This is an important point.  When you let the offense choose the matchup so easily you are only hurting yourself.  At least make them work to get the matchup they want.

      This is incredibly dishonest, and you know it. We didn't cherry-pick a "small amount of deep throws late in the year." We reviewed every one of Bryce's deep throws using the NFL's own film and data via NFL Pro. The analysis was thorough, transparent, and contextualized with game film. Dismissing that as cherry-picking is not only incredibly disingenuous, it is textbook gaslighting as well. Let's walk through the actual data: Top-10 in deep ball accuracy Top-5 in short-range accuracy Bottom-10 in intermediate accuracy (not ideal, but not "league worst" either) If you're going to lean on the "no pressure" qualifier again, his deep passing under pressure was covered. So no... it wasn't cherry-picked. Look, you don't have to believe in Bryce. That's your right... but misrepresenting clear, consistent evidence crosses the line from skepticism into willful intellectual dishonesty.

      big picture though, that largely sounds like a horrible idea to go about things.  Not saying I think they did that.  Think the illusion of that is largely just PRish of presenting a image of things working out well.  But yeah, you don't want your WR influencing who you draft at TE.  Players are going to be bringing crazy bias into the equation and a 23 year old struggling QB shouldn't be making your top 10 pick.
