2026 NFL Draft

[stirs]

The bulk of the season is in.
What do you see as the biggest needs for Panthers this coming spring?

For me.

1. ILB
2. OT Moton about shot
3. ILB

 

[stirs]

picking in middle of the first round, I am saying Sonny Styles might be the guy

 

[Cyberjag]

Sonny Styles is my draft crush. He's the only reason I watch Ohio State football, unless it's literally the only game on.

 

[stirs]

I worry that he will blow up at the combine and go around 10th, and us picking mid to late teens will end up out of luck

 

[Cyberjag]

Arvel Reese may go top ten, I doubt Styles will.

 

[Black&Black]

Keep hammering the line of scrimmage. Guys who can rush the passer and some O line depth. You're right about Moton needing a succession plan and the defensive line, despite the offseason investment, is still basically Derrick Brown being King Kong and not much else. Maybe Princely will step up in year two, but you can't take that for granted.

Honestly, I think this system can "get by" with rando ILBs, but I think Morgan will sign one in March. There are several hitting the market.

 

[Cyberjag]

This is a good class for Tackles. And we can get a stud at ILB in the second.

 

[stirs]

TB loss dropped us to 20 slot in first round.

don't think Styles will last that long. Bunch of WR's in that range. Don't want to go 3 years in a row with a WR as a 1st. Not sure I want to use a first on a RT.

Let the head scratching begin

Lots of good guys in the 2nd at OT and ILB

 

[dig-it]

Even if they squeak out another close win the Panthers still have 3 very tough games. A dollar says they pick a lot higher than 20th in the draft.

This. I've always said keep drafting big nasty fuckers in rd 1 or 2 every year
