Might as well go FS in the 2nd. Just play 1980s football. Play D, run the ball, throw it when you're forced to. It won't compete for championships but it might be decent enough to not get you fired. 

 

Try and create the LOB, but high picks and no quarterback.

Never, but it's unusual for a corner to be the first defensive player selected in the entire draft.

It matters a bunch when you pick in the top 10. Many would argue we didn't even get the most proven CB. Not to mention we probably passed on a pretty good QB, LT and WR. I don't like the pick. Do I think he will bust no... But do I think he will change the game like a good QB could nope...

The real problem is he was the first defensive player in the draft selected. He needs to be the best overall defensive player to live up to the pick.

By my estimation we're missing a tackle, guard, center, free safety, 3rd wideout, and defensive tackle. 

 

Easily filled!

Sam like at the first three.

The picks were not stupid but what does the franchise have to show for it? The Panthers had two bookends drafted within a year of each other in Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly and what did it get them? One Super Bowl loss and no consecutive winning seasons while Luke retired at 28. How many winning seasons have the Panthers had with Christian McCaffrey?  Eventually some of you are going to have to grapple with tough truths if Sam Darnold does not become the quarterback the staff is banking on after the disastrous one year rental of Teddy Bridgewater whom they handpicked. Winning cures all but losing only builds contempt. 2021 is make or break for quite a few people with the Panthers.

Yeah, but what if they start winning anyway. You know break the mold of needing a high level quarterback to consistently compete. Instead they could build an elite defense, and force the other team to score negative points.

Take a FS and make the new LOB. Sam can do his best Wilson impression running around and throwing up prayers.

So...Horn started what? 30 games. And had 1 bad game against the Heisman Trophy  winner. 

 

It is a passing league. Hence, it is a defend the pass league. We just got a guy who excels at defending the pass.

 

We had 1 1st round pick. Does it matter where we picked, as long as we got a top talent? 

 

Exactly, why focus on passing the ball and scoring points.

We all know the real way to win is to limit points.

Most important position on defense, and in football.

Best defensive player in the draft as he was first selected defensive player in the draft.
