UGA fan here. And no, we shouldn't.

RB doesn't deserve a 1st in the nfl anymore.

Late 2nd maybe, but that's if we were to move off from almost every single back on our roster excluding Tolbert.

I know this story. But talking to other Panthers fans that are my friends. They know D-Will is gone next year, and Stew can't stay healthy. Gurley in the late first would be an absolute stud on our team and easily BPA.

Couple things....

Let's let Stew start the season before we write him off.

RB by committee is the new way. We still would have Tolbert and Fozzy as well as Reaves on the roster. Do we really need a RB over other positions?

Tough to speak on a hypothetical BPA situation when we have no idea where we will be drafting.

Like I said in the first post, it's all hypothetical.  A great RB like Peterson can still lead you.  Hawks (Russell Wilson is a game manager, dude had like 100 yards in a playoff game), Vikes a few seasons ago.  Can lead to good things.  This is just me thinking we have a good season though.

Based on value and normal availabilty:

 

1. LT (This draft should be a good one for OTs)

2. DT (we need to remember that Edwards and Cole are old and ending contracts)

3. SS (I am probably OK with DeCoud and Boston --who is developing at FS, but SS is a bit cloudy)

4. OLB (Blackburn is probably gone and Davis is getting a bit old--find a backup LB)

5. DT (we need 2--however, this time, we break the habit of drafting back-to-back DTs)

6. RB (perhaps too high considering we can find them on the waiver wire and in the undrafted free agent market)

7. CB (depth at CB is not a bad thing)

 

Note I took no WR--Assuming our youth develops this year and we still have a vet or 2 under contract

Yeah man I hear ya....I just don't agree. No biggie.

I like where your head's at about drafting late though.

It would pain me to see us let a great one like Gurley slip through our hands if we could get him in the late first.  Could you imagine Benjamin, Cam, Gurley, and Olsen?  A running game with a passing game?  Sign me up!

A stud running back with an OL ranked 32? Yeah...all I see is an injury waiting to happen.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      Someone correct me- doesn't Dave have a six year contract??? I think Dan Morgan does as well..... that's the price you have to pay once you get a rep for firing HCs....

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.
