Panthero

Guys Brown is a military kid, long as he's shown respect I think he stays. He's just a different kind of guy. Even at Auburn he was active in the community and was married with a baby before his senior year I believe. He's a mature dude, mentally. 

@Rayzor, what else do you think we can/will do realistically in free agency before the draft to shore up the defense?

Does that recent edge signing mean we don't have a shot at clowney/young?

Morgan trusts his first hand knowledge and those unblinking eyes. He knows what real football players and what makes a guy who can play at a high level because he played with and  against the best for so long.

 

Captain Caveman knows a dog when he sees one. 

I'd take two pass catchers in the second. Don't be constrained to 2 wr. Imagine getting ad mitchell and jatavion sanders (te) in the second. I'd be ecstatic with those two in the 2nd frame. Then go all defense the rest of the draft.

yeah i really think Evero is the best coach in Carolina right now & would love to see what he could with a talented roster

Beyond 2 pass catchers, seems like we'll go heavy on defense, so he's probably excited about getting to shape a defense. Nothing better than shopping for the groceries when you are a chef. You're just naturally more confident in the meal you're preparing. 

He's the most versatile guy in the draft. Reasonable that he can be a high level guard or center and likely a swing tackle. That's hard to find. 

dang looks like we're rolling the dice that he's been under utilized. 

i added him to please the masses here. from what i gather his talent is first round level but hes injury prone.

Haha yeah I have no idea why it’s so blurry 

Thanks for sharing. I was searching around and 22 he wasn't on there, but Wonnum was about the same position in 2021 as the 2023 chart.

You guys just see 8 sacks and think he’s like that. He’s not 

Did you take the screenshot with one of those old Nokia phones?

Past 40 made it difficult prior to us having #39. 

I think we could go down to 45-50, depending on the haul. 

i would rather go with fewer earlier picks than a ton of late round guys. 

if i can get the picks to be no later than 4th round i'm ok, but the first pick i get would have to be no more than 10 picks out from the original pick. 5-8 is the sweet spot, i think.

With these moves we’d thrive with Cam under center if Bryce struggles.  
 

Also Cam deserves a resign thread every year so I’m just doing my job here.

Yeah you gotta fix what you can with what's available this year and try to add more next year.  I'm all for bpa regardless of position instead of looking for specific positions. I don't like to put blinders on and try to address a specific position or side of the ball. We just can't afford to do that.

Agreed. Just get some dudes. They could fill the first four picks with about 7 positions and I'd understand. Makes for a good draft, so I'm not yelling at the TV as usual. I almost stroked when we drafted all those corners.

I don't know.  I just know Evero can make chicken salad out of chicken poo when it comes to DB's.

If he can, I'm all for it. We got a laundry list of needs. If Dane pans out, I'll be giddy. Giddy. 

WR - Coleman / Mitchell

Edge Rusher or OLB- Chris Braswell /Jonah Ellis / Peyton Wilson

Corner - DJ James

There are other needs but these guys may have to start since our depth is so poor.

I would not be surprised if it is a 5th rounder instead. 

For significant minutes? Is the class supposed to be that deep? 

I think we add one more, unless we burn 33 or 39, maybe the third round pick on one. 

Tony on c3 podcast said it best. If you are offered two firsts for any non-qb, you trade. Period, end of story. Don't care if it's Derrick Brown. Two firsts? Adios Brown.

This is hilarious.

 

I know most of you don't care about what the Nat'l media says, but man it sucks when they clown us. We have become that new punching bag team. I have seen numerous people just flat out call Tepper the worst owner in sports. And yes we deserve every bit of it. That clown has to go.

Who is this hillbilly yokel? Looks like Joe Dirts slightly downsy brother. 

i think given our budget constraints, we're looking at the 5 to 10 mil per player for edge (clowney - spotrac 7.2 m), safety(? Jordan Whitehead - no spotrac value available), corner (?), and tight end (Noah Fant -spotrac value 6.2 m).

Chase Young is slated to get 13 m according to spotrac, if thats close to true, i say pass on that. Get Clowney, maybe try to snag Wonnum as well. i know he gets injured but Carl Lawson is still putting up stats and can be gotten for cheap maybe a depth piece.

I’ve been looking at the Steelers fan sentiment since they traded him to the Panthers and by and large they seem to agree this was a punishment trade. Johnson complained he wasn’t getting the ball enough last season and openly quit on plays. 

https://x.com/prosportsgoats/status/1728865242137198767?s=46&t=04sKNnhiiGcTDblLYKGiJQ

He also got into several locker room arguments and fights with his teammates.

https://steelersdepot.com/2023/02/diontae-johnson-denies-allegation-he-punched-mitch-trubisky-before-jets-game/

So if he had issues on a team like the Steelers with a lot of veteran leaders and established head coach, what kind of attitude will he have with a young rookie head coach and GM? He’s a top 5 route runner from everything I’ve seen of him on the field, but off the field he could be a locker room cancer if things don’t go well. Not sure how excited he is to be on the Panthers to begin with. 

he's in danger of playing himself out of a lot of money, i'd imagine he plays it tight as long as he gets targets, which he will, since we dont have many weapons.
