I know, I know......the Panthers had no way of knowing. But now that it has all played out. It stings just a little bit. Armanti might still be a player (giggle), but imagine getting Cam in round one and Bowers in round two. That would have been sick! :yikes:

His knee is really, really bad off. It's most likely degenerativefor one, second thing is most teams are passing on him for a reason... he must need the micro surgery on his knee....which is a real bummer for him.

If both of those are correct, which I assume is. (Other wise I can't explain a top 5 talent falling into at least the second round.) If that is indeed the case, I don't know that he's worth an early look in the second round and I'm getting the feeling he'll fall even further... More likely to the end of the second round.

I must be the only one who thinks CB is a better bet in the 2nd than DT. I actually like our options in the 3rd at DT. Not so sure about the CB's. Man, if we DO trade up and end up with Brandon Harris I'm going to freak the fug out. Think he has Revis potential.

SCP, I do agree with your point that a DT we could get in the 3rd would be better than a CB we could get in the 3rd, but speaking for myself I'd much rather have Austin or Paea than Harris for a few reasons, not the least of which is that DT is a much bigger need for us than CB. We need CB depth (at worst a #2 starter if Marshall leaves). We need a #1 starter at DT assuming Landri would make a really good #2 for us, in addition to depth beyond the starters.

I wouldn't want Bowers; his knee is obviously shot or every team in the league short of the Raiders wouldn't have passed on him while 12 other DL went in the 1st round.

Agreed. I think the most telling fact is that the Bucs passed on him for Adrian Clayborn. I mean Clayborn is pretty good but the Bucs need SACKS and Clayborn isn't going to be getting them. He did pretty good two years ago, but dropped off significantly this year. He's the Jake Locker of DEs, and he's not even built well for the position in a 4-3. He'll be a good solid Tyler Brayton type player, but not an elite pass rushing DE.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
