keep your strengths stron and ignore your weak spots.

 

makes sense.

 

need has to factor in if you aren't going to address it in FA.

 

LB is anything but a  need.

 

i don't care how good he is. we need OL. we need receivers/pass catchers. we need DBs. we might need DE. 

 

we need LB as much as we need DT and QB.

 

i wouldn't be happy with this pick, esp. if we did poo to address needs early.

Did you miss the title. It says Best Player Available not biggest need.

Lol im not sure you quite understand BPA just because a player is at the top of your board doesnt mean you automatically pick that player. If a qb was the bpa on our board at 28 you really think we'll take him? What about a Dt? You do go BPA but its a mix between what you need and dont need and currently I just dont see a olb being the pick in the first round if we were talking about using a 2nd or 3rd on an olb then thats more justifiable in my opinion and yes I know shazier more than likely wont be in there 2nd

Why anyone would be upset with this pick is beyond me.

There are four WR's (Watkins, Evans, Beckham, and Cooks) and four T's (Robinson, Matthews, Lewan, and Martin) that scream first round pick.

If one of those guys aren't there and you feel like Shazier is an impact player, then take him.

Also, let's not forget one of our LB's is still playing on a knee that has been surgically repaired three times. If for some awful reason TD went down, we would be in some deep poo.

Disagree. That's the kind of thinking that would have not picked Kuechly.

I didn't even know about this guy until 10 minutes ago, but his highlights remind me a lot of Kuechly's college highlights. Looks like a mix of TD and Kuechly.

If you have the chance to draft a future star, you do it.

we're in deep poo with the OL situation as it ia and we're pretty close to being in it in regards to WR and contractually we're in deep poo because of our two DEs that make it near impoasible to bring in good talent in the secondary and hurt our chances to sign other key players to long term deals.

deal with future potential needs after you've taken care of the needs on your plate right now.

No. Jon Beason was returning from a very serious injury and we did not know if Thomas Davis could play a full season healthy. Completely different scenario. Two different GM's.

then what do you do about OL and other big areas of need? hope that the table scraps you are left with doesn't poo the bed?

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
