The Panthers’ playoff run ended with a heartbreak that changed the entire complexion of the 2026 offseason. Following Ikey Ekwonu’s devastating patellar tendon injury, we dive deep into the "Left Tackle Crisis." Can Dan Morgan trust Yosh Nijman to protect Bryce Young’s blindside, or does Pick #19 have to be a tackle?

We also break down the fascinating evolution of the receiving corps. With Tetairoa McMillan ascending to superstardom and Jalen Coker proving to be an absolute draft steal, we ask the tough question: Where does Xavier Legette fit in? Plus, we debate the "Best Player Available" strategy at 19—should the Panthers eye a weapon like Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq, or is the defensive line too thin to ignore? Finally, we celebrate the retention of Ejiro Evero and discuss the blueprint for turning this unit into a Top 10 defense in 2026.
