got straight ABUSED by the kid from ECU and man handled by Julio Jones not to mention the other numerous times he gives up big plays every year.

he has potential ALOT of potential but he also needs alot of work on technique and instinct imo

Guys, he isn't the 2nd best CB in the draft. He might not even be the 3rd. Don't confuse the 2nd overall CB taken with the 2nd best CB.

So we're supposed to just take your word for that, putting aside all the opinions of scouts, coaches, general managers, so on and so on and so on..

Yeah. Don't think I'm gonna do that.

That's just so weird. GIlmore;s stock stayed pretty consistent at the combine. It wasn't until the offseason progressed and more and more analysts and scouts began to look at the tape that his stock began to rise. Don't confuse the Huddle's ignorance of him early on in the offseason for his own ability.

He is not the 2nd best corner in this draft hahaha.

Anyone who thinks that is either a die hard Cock fan or has know clue how to evaluate talent, and purely choose their favorite prospects based on the hottest name that they hear on the Huddle.

I don't get the whole 'he's a bit of a reach' mentality. If we pick at 9 he's not the best player for us, but if we pick at 12, he is? If he's the best player for our team on the board at the time, pick him. Who gives a fug what positiion it is. It's about putting the best team out on the field, not about draft day grades.

No. He would not be the best player at #12. He would be the best player at #40. But someone will be dumb enough to take him top 25.

I don't see many places where they say he is the 2nd best CB. But I don't grade players off others opinions anyways so I am not paying too much attention to that anyways. I feel pretty confident from what I have seen that he isn't the 2nd best CB.

I think a lot of people are considering him at 9 because he is a trendy pick. Where was all this talk at the beginning of the offseason, nothing has changed since then.

:) You say that so matter of factly, like it's a universal truth. Stephon Gilmore is NOT the best player at #12!!!

It's an opinion. Not only is it an opinion, it's an opinion largely based on other people's opinions.

I'm not saying if he is or not. I have not idea. I'm not even saying we should take him. All I'm saying is that you shouldn't base your pick on where you are in the draft position, but rather on who you think will best help your team when your turn comes.

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By Champagnepapi704 · Posted

      The qb position has been eliminated due to the low probability of the success of selecting one early.  This part got me hollering the most "You can't get so hyperfocused on one position(even the most important position in football like QB) that you just draft a QB and any QB. This leads to wasted draft picks and years of torment as you are stuck in a development cycle for nothing." " "Also, if we don't get our franchise QB this draft....oh well. We got the next dozen or so drafts to keep taking cracks at it."

      Then be prepared to draft a QB the next year. When the best one would surely not play here. Then what?   This fanbase keeps preaching patience, while other bottom feeders are finding their QB's. Panthers fans are becoming blind. The losing has caught up to the fanbase. We preaching patience when we have been a bad franchise ever since Tepper took over.   But because you don't like Sanders or Ward we should pass on a QB. Then when they become franchise changers you feel bad.   Everyone knows this franchise will continue to suck until they get a franchise QB. Chasing LBs and DEs isn't helping us. We can address the defense after we get the QB.   Cmon Hepcat don't let the blind lead you they blind for a reason!

      Imagine posting on a forum to mock people for posting on a forum. Whether you realize it or not you just played yourself. LOL  Guess what? We've heard people like you lecture people with opinions about how *insert former Panthers front office or coach moron* knows best and we're all just idiots. This forum exists to discuss Panthers football and that includes *GASP* sharing opinions that may be contrary to what the Panthers end up doing.  If you just want a circle jerk of an echo chamber reassuring you that everything the Panthers do is brilliant despite the abysmal record on the field, I think they made a Discord group for that.
