S is still definitely a position we need and he appears to have traits we want in a S. Very few on here like Roman Harper the player, plenty of people shat on Decoud as well. Now we're good there? We'll see how Godfrey comes back but none of those guys are our long term players at safety. Hopefully Lester keeps getting better. This is our attitude guy and a leader back there that we lost with Mitchell and Munnerlyn. Hope he can get coached up and find a place starting for us one day. He'll have plenty of old guys to help him along and he'll be in a great spot to succeed with the rest of the defense in front of him.

Mean while all the good lts and cbs are gone. wtf it's not that easy to find a good cb on the streets we got lucky with Melvin white

 

There is only one CB left I would be glad to get. Lavelle Westbrooks from Georgia Southern. Westbrooks was there with Phillip Gaines, Walt Aikens and Pierre Desir for overlooked CBs at the end of 2013. In the past 2 to 3 months people spotted Gaines, Aikens and Desir, but they are still sleeping on Westbrooks.

 

As for safeties, there is Jonathan Dowling of Western Kentucky, and Ed Reynolds of Stanford that I would be happy with.

 

The way this draft is going I wouldn't be shocked if the Panthers select a punter, kicker, and another special teams gunner with their last 3 picks.

This is a special teams pick at best. Not going to see any kind of starting DB position in the NFL.

Panthers don't draft for need or bpa. They are drafting potential, depth, and special teams. Worst off-season ever.

You take a WR you could have gotten in the 2nd round. You take a DE because he has amazing value since he fell, but that amazing value is going to the back of the line. Probably will see the field very little in the next 2 seasons. You then take a guard who will find himself at the back of the line for guards and will never see the field for the next 2-3 seasons. Then you take a special teams player.

We have 53 roster spots and have need at several starting spots. Are we going to carry 5 guards and 5 DEs and toss in some extra spots for special teams players? Do the math front office. You have just wasted the Panthers 2014 draft. These draft picks or some you made last year are going to be up for cuts in the preseason. Definite fail.

Long will see the field plenty. On passing downs we will have CJ, Kraken, and Ealy all rushing passer and any one of them will line up inside.

Not to mention the business sense that pick made

This old tweet that Voth dug up from Jones sums up a lot about Tre for me. Wants to make plays, sometimes to the detriment of making needed plays.

Heck of a play by Tre Boston... Makes no attempt to tackle the WR and instead goes straight for the strip.

Did you dig up any tweets about all the picks, tackles, and deflections he did have?

Gman is trying to hit a homerun on every pick instead of bunting and advancing a runner to 3rd.  hope it doesnt bite him in the ass.  There are very few diamonds in the rough, sometimes its best to take the obvious safe pick.
