The Panthers could be looking at some comp picks for the 2026 season for the first time in quite a while.

Compensatory selections are always a talking point during the offseason, as every move can have an effect on that formula. Often-times, we see fans asking whether this move or that move will affect the comp picks. So, let’s take a very premature look on the Panthers future outlook on compensatory selections.

As a brief reminder of how comp picks work, the picks a team receives for players is determined by looking at players leaving via unrestricted free agency when...

Everything you need to watch other teams make their draft picks tonight

The 2024 NFL Draft begins tonight at 8 PM ET for most of the NFL. There is still a remote possibility that the Carolina Panthers could be a part of tonight’s festivities with a jump into the late first round, but the emphasis here is heavily on the word ‘remote.’ The Panthers draft is all but certain to start tomorrow, April 26th at 7 PM ET when they will announce their selection of the 33rd overall pick.

The idea of Carolina selecting a receiver is really catching on

The Carolina Panthers, or Xavier Legette’s agents, have done everything in their power to make fans think that Legette is a lock to the Panthers somewhere in the second round. Whether that holds true or not, the fact of the matter is that the idea of bolstering the Panthers receiving corps has found a positive reception amongst the fans.

It also just seems like the thing to do when the Panthers have a tall and fast hole in their roster and multiple tall and fast blocks are projected to...

In this series, I’ll throw out one random possibility for the NFL Draft and you’ll decide whether or not you prefer that alternate reality

This is a continuation of our previous “What If...” Wednesday series leading up to the NFL Draft. This activity is based on the Disney+ series Marvel’s “What If...” where one tiny change to the timeline results in a vastly different alternate universe. Killmonger befriends Tony Stark, T’Challa becomes Star Lord, weird stuff like that. In these articles, I’ll give you an NFL Draft scenario, and you all will decide if this is an alternate reality you...

The now second year quarterback took to the stage to talk to the media after the first day of mini camp.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young took the stand for his press conference since the end of last season.

The first question was asked by...Bryce Young. He welcomed all the reporters back and asked what they do when there are no Panthers things to cover. What a nice kid.

The first few questions predictably centered around his feelings about the new coaching staff. He was walked into a question where he agreed with the need for a consistent voice leading...

A weekly projection of what all 32 teams will do with their picks at the 2024 NFL Draft

CSR Mock Draft 5.0 is now upon us. This is the final one before the real deal, the big kahuna, the actual real-life NFL Draft. As such, I decided to try to make this my most realistic mock so far. We’ll see how accurate it is after the fact.

For this mock draft, I once again used the NFL Mock Draft Database simulator and took control of all 32 teams for two rounds. I had fun with some interesting trades, using Drafttek’s...

A 32 year old blogger throws his hat into the ring on draft week.

The 2024 NFL Draft is just days away. Teams have combed through immeasurable amounts of film, attended workouts, held visits with prospects, and finalized their draft boards. But there is one more competitor who is throwing his hat into the ring for their consideration—me. And if there’s one thing NFL teams covet, it’s a 32 year old blogger.

Before we get into the details of the workout, we have to cover the anthropometry. One of the best things I have going for me is that I...

Let's kick off our week of draft predictions with one simple question

The NFL Draft is notoriously difficult to predict. Thousands of variables, largely in the form of decisions made by dozens of different people, line up to create a unique spectacle every year.

As fans, we all have our favorite players entering the NFL. As a team, the Carolina Panthers are chock full of holes that may or may not line up with who we want or when the Panthers are picking.

Instead of asking who you want or what the Panthers should do come Friday, let's take a...

If the Panthers draft a running back with their top selection, do not say you weren’t warned.

Draft week is finally upon us, which means we only have a few days left of the drama and intrigue surrounding what the Carolina Panthers newest regime have planned for their inaugural draft. It is time to call your shots and place your bets on which direction you think the Panthers are headed, and I have something that I want to get off my chest: I believe the Carolina Panthers will spend their first pick in the 2024 NFL Draft on a running...

Here’s this week’s open thread.

Greetings, internet users. Welcome to The Scratching Post.

Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it’s allowed by the site’s ToS, it’s fair game here.

You know the drill.

This is now an open thread!

The man who holds BYU’s all-time touchdowns record for a tight end could help Bryce Young find paydirt.

Like many of you, in addition to being a Panthers fan I’m also passionate about college football. I’m a lifelong fanatic and graduate of BYU so I have an admitted bias in wanting the Panthers to draft guys coming out of beautiful Provo, Utah.

Because I watch BYU football I’ve amassed a solid track record of predicting which Cougars will succeed in the NFL. In previous years I’ve advocated for the Panthers to draft running back Jamaal Williams (2017), All-Pro linebacker Fred...
