What do you guys think about Duke Johnson out of Miami. The man has excellent vision and agility.

I haven't look into Duke Johnson yet. I need to tho.

But, all I'm saying is that I'm already so pumped for next year class. I believe that it's a much better overall draft than this past one.

We are going to be pretty lucky. It's going to be a good one based on our position of needs: OT, WR, CB, RB, S.

Thanks to Gman, we won't need any DL. And, the 2015 will be featuring a lot of DLs going very high which means that the guys we need will probably be available for us.

We could be choosing anywhere from 1-32 and I think we'll come out really happy next year.

Forget the "no to a RB in the 1st round" crybabies. Dwill most likely won't be with us after this season and we don't know what to make out if Stew. If a Melvin Gordon or Todd Gurley is there, I wouldn't hesitate making the pick. Love Mike Davis too.

I agree. This years past draft arguably did not have running back prospects that would be chosen in the first round. This idea that the running back is a dying position is far from the truth. Its true more teams are going to the multiple running back offensive strategies, but if you have a chance to get a Marshawn lynch or a Jamal Charles or even an Alfred Morris, I don't think any team would pass up on them in the first round.

Greene with 203 and a TD

He's going to have a monster year, Winston looks for him every time

i been tooting Rashad Greene since last June, and he was the #1 guy at FSU with Benji there. he does it all, return kicks and punts, plus runs very good routes. has been the leader WR since stepping on campus, and is somebody the panthers should be looking at.

 

other notables from week 1

 

Ronald Darby, CB FSU. very good in man coverage, and has plus speed. 

 

Devin Funchess, WR/TE Michigan. a huge hybrid receiving target.

 

Anthony Harris, S Virginia. ball hawk, that can play man and zone coverage really well. had a pbu on one play where the WR had the ball but Harris got a hand in their to rip it out.

 

La'el Collins, OT LSU. huge OT, on a pro style, down hill, i-formation running attack. blasted holes all night, and pass protected very well. has light feet, but also a nasty side. he is the perfect LT for the panther offense. some scouts want to move him OG to take advantage of his run blocking, but i think he would make a fine LT.

 

Todd Gurley, RB Georgia. Huge RB, with 4.4 speed. he will be the 1st RB off the board, and offers return ability showcased by his 100+ yard KO return. from Tarrboro, NC. one of the better jump cutters in college. can run over, around, and through you. have to stay healthy. 

 

Texas A&M OL. when a QB has 44 completions, and over 500 yards throwing, his OL deserves plenty of praise. there are numerous NFL prospects blocking on this OL. Cedric Ogbuehi, Mike Matthews( yes their is another, Jakes little brother), and Germain Ifedi. 

 

Amari Cooper, WR Bama. so smooth, wins on every level with route running and speed. runs good routes and has the ability to take the top off the defense and run intermediate and short routes. all around WR. 

 

edit: Eric Kendricks, LB UCLA. pick 6, forced fumble, tons of tackles. always around the ball. little brother of Mychal Kendricks LB for the eagles.

Exactly.

I hate when people say that you can find RBs in the late rounds. If it's that easy, then how come so many teams are still in need if a RB. Teams get lucky. That's what it is.

In a redo draft, Alfred Morris would be going in the 1st round. Not 6th.

Every year, the teams that can run the ball are the ones in the Playoffs. Even Green Bay a heavy passing offense (2010-2011) were desperate for the running game late in the season into the Playoffs. If they didn't find it with James Starks, they probably wouldn't have been the SB Champs.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      By Carolina Cajun · Posted

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.

      I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
