To be fair, hard to blame our over reactions seeing how bad the team was ran. Mediocre was also saved by lucking into Ball and the 3rd pick. Rozier is a baller, and definitely not a bad pickup in hindsight. However, at the time it looked like a keep things at mediocre move. Nice job though on the original call, you nailed it and then some.

True Carolinian there!

Hell to the nawwwwwwwwwwww

Coach will simply refuse to play one of the rookie bigs

We just lack a legit starting center

This is why keeping Marty was a bad idea by Tepper

lol we could all be wrong who knows. Who would have thought we release Boykin? Most people were predicting he was a sure fire lock for the roster. :+)

Well we will just have to see. I had him beating out Bersin and Byrd beating out Brown.

KB/Funchess/Ginn/Hill/Byrd/Garett

I am going Derrick Henry and Nassib in the first two rounds but would be happier with your picks. I just think Hunter Henry is gone before pick 30. Same with Lawson.

On oldnorthbanter.com I predicted 13-3 before the start of preseason and adjusted to 12-4 after losing Kelvin Benjamin.

It was already the best in the league so that is why I didn't understand it but I hope all the picks work out for us because I am a die hard Carolina Panthers fan.

No doubt we will have the best LB group but we already had the best before the draft. Still thought we should of went somewhere else with the 1st round pick but the two picks after are looking good and I feel better about Funchess.

I still dislike the 1st round pick but the two after it are solid picks that make us better at positions we needed to get better at.

Seattle will be able to cover our WRs and TE no doubt about it.

Seattle

SMH we needed speed at WR and an OT going into the draft and we draft a LB in 1st and trade our 3rd and 6th round pick along with our 2nd round pick to move up to pick a TE. SMH.

All I am saying is next season I will be on here to say I told you so when the offense is still being stiff armed and going 3 and out because no one has the speed to beat the coverage and make them respect it.

We needed speed and again the organization does not realize this. There were possibilities in the 1st round and early second but Funchess is not fast and a TE type player. Teams are still going to find it easy to defend us with no one to break the coverage deep.

WTF? We traded three picks for ONE GUY?

Are any of them quick because that is truly what the offense was missing and anyone who watched the games last year understood that teams were able to move up into the box a lot and had no worries of being beat deep.

Yeah MORE DEFENSE so now we can watch our defense get tired after all those 3 and outs from our putrid offense.

I think TD has a few more years and could of been replaced in next year's draft. I am just lost on why LB was a priority when the glaring weakness on this team for anyone with eye sight and hell even hearing was the offense. We ran the ball decent but our passing game sucked and caused a lot of problems with Cam being coverage sacked. Hate to beat that dead horse on the WR position or the OT (which OT was depleted by our pick) but it is the truth when looking at this team.

I think there are still a lot of knowledgeable people on here and I see them including those who like the pick. I think the pick was a good pick if we needed a LB but we did not and there was a WR available that could of helped us a ton more by being a legitimate weapon opposite of Benjamin. Cam has had ONE pick for him since he has been in Carolina that has actually been to give him more offensive stability. Benjamin was a great pick and I think Shaq will be a great player but the pick will be a head scratcher in my mind with the current roster we have.

If you think Boykin or Ginn are going to fill that number two WR spot then I do not think we will ever see eye to eye when it comes to why this team has lost games. We lose games because and ONLY because our offense is so putrid. Even a great defense needs a offense that can put up some points.
