  1. Note: I'm willing to concede NT probably is a bigger depth need than starter need, but I just never felt like Shy was a natural fit for NT and he is currently the closest thing we have still. I was hoping we brought in Robinson for that role but he repeatedly stated in his press conference that he has never been an NT and doesnt plan to ever be an NT.

  2. Below you will find 53 players and I've aligned them with the position I think they will be playing based on all the press conferences I've tuned into. I think this will change drastically before our first game but I went ahead and highlighted the positions I think we are most likely to see a change. We still have #1 in the Waiver Wire to potentially address 1 or 2 of these needs, and we also have FA to address at least one more. What do you guys think? Who do you think gets the boot if we are able to find 2 or 3 more solutions for our current holes?

    I still want to sign Gilmore 

    Would shore up the CB room, only glaring hole on O is Center depth. On defense the only glaring holes are NT and OLB depth.

    i feel like we can nab one or two solutions to the these holes with the #1 Waiver Wire choice.

    Love the person and personality. He’s a dawg for sure.  Time will tell if he’s a game changer.  Definitely has a high ceiling. 
     

    I also love the trade. Get the 5th year option for swapping one of our 5ths for their 6th. 
     

    And I’m shocked at how perfect the board looks for us going into the 2nd round. There are 6 picks before we draft again at 39 and a bunch of options for us:
     

    WR - Mitchell, McConkey, Coleman and Franklin

    C - Powers-Johnson and Frazier 

    CB - McKinstry, DeJean, Rakestraw, Tampa and Sainristil 

    LB - Cooper and Wilson 

    We will have our pick from at least 6 of the above players.  To me the C’s and LBer’s seem to be the most “dawgish” of the group and I like the options for CB and WR later in the draft compared to the options for C and LBer. 

    Just add Newton and your board is perfect

    This! I feel like unless we get a kings ransom that it would be absolutely stupid to trade back. We could acquire two very solid picks at 33 and 39 especially since Fitt. will not be involved in making in making the choices. We need to use BOTH picks and keep them to draft the very best players possible with each pick.

    This is why I want JPJ if he falls, guaranteed 10 year lock at Center boom. Like there are a lot of gambles but a 1st round Center falling to 2nd ain't one of 'em. Same with pick 39, will probably still be someone with 1st round grade falling to 39.

    For those that don't like it here's Mike 2023 mock draft 

    FIRST ROUND, NO. 1 (VIA CHI): BRYCE YOUNG, QB, ALABAMA

    SECOND ROUND, NO. 39: FELIX ANUDIKE-UZOMAH, EDGE, KANSAS STATE

    THIRD ROUND, NO. 93 (VIA SF): A.T. PERRY, WR, WAKE FOREST

    FOURTH ROUND, NO. 114: GARRETT WILLIAMS, CB, SYRACUSE

    FOURTH ROUND, NO. 132 (VIA SF): CAMERON LATU, TE, ALABAMA

    FIFTH ROUND, NO. 145: DORIAN WILLIAMS, LB, TULANE

    Damn all those players are garbage except A.T. Perry and he only had 12 catches but way more TDs than any of our WR's outside of AT

    Why would anyone give you money to place a bet with them?

    Had you been betting before but stopped for a while? If so, that's a great way to get you back into their cash flow plans.

    Had you signed up for the service but never used it? Then it's a powerful way to motivate you to start betting. 

    Just tiny little hooks to keep you dancing on the line for them. 

    Sports booking/betting outfits really don't care if you win or lose, they are balancing bets against each other to keep the books straight. They make their money off of the vigorish or placement fees. They are interested in volume, keeping the number of people active and involved. Free money for bets, comped rooms, "VIP" bettor status, whatever it takes to keep the action rolling.

    Gambling has always had a parasitic relationship with society. And man, it's on steroids now.

    LOL credit card companies and even banks do this now. If you are disciplined its called Churning and its zero risk as long as you're not a moron.

    Unfortunately, 49.5% of the population is below average intelligence which is already the intelligence of a soap dish.... soooo gambling companies make a lot of cash off of them.

    keep your pants on... wasn't my money.  Fanduel new sportsbook gave me $250 bonus bets.  Carolina to win the south is +1000.  South isn't exactly great.  Crazier stuff has happened.  I'll take the free money if they do.

    Jesus Christ, the odds on Caesars is +1400 you got robbed my guy

    Good. Every economic study that I'm aware of that has looked into the issue has concluded that use of public funds for sports stadiums is a terrible investment.

    Ehh, they never do a study on the town after they leave, pretty poor studies that dont include a lot of datapoints and are limited in scope to be honest and they often leave out a lot, the size of the city is def going to impact economic calculations, as well as the absence of the team, and lack of tax income from their employees . However we can see from St Louis that they are losing $115M a year since the Rams left based on their lawsuit settlement a couple years ago with the NFL. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/11/24/nfl-and-rams-reach-more-than-700-million-settlement-in-st-louis-relocation-case-report-says.html
     

    $1 billion in public funds over 20/30 years for $115M per year in return isn't a bad deal. St Louis was already falling off a cliff population growth wise when the Rams left but by God if their decline hasn't sped up instead of slowed down since they left.

    Sure, if you are a major metropolitan area, tell the NFL to shove it up their ass, but if you're a small or medium sized city, tread with caution.

    I have been mocking, good people, and it is difficult to not mock a C. 

    I just wish I knew how good Corbett can be there.  If

    If you get a 10 year starter, i dont give a fug if Corbett hits or not. Thats our problem we always draft for need. A rookie to replace Moton's cap hit would also be nice as well for 2025.

    For someone that isn't on here every day can someone elaborate on the bot b/c I'm curious?

    It was a bot that just posts new links as they appear on panthers.com. A lot of times they get linked anyways so it just aggregates those discussions. The problem is that panthers.com has to push fluff pieces even if the team is 0-15 on the season... and so it was banned. Now its a new season and it got unbanned. We are here. Yes it still posts fluff pieces but it also will sometimes post useful info that was going to be posted here anyways.
