Brandt: Draft position will likely be 21 (provided we get the W)

Link Gil Brandt provides our top three needs as well.  You know me, I'm taking pass rusher off and replacing it with wide receiver. But Brandt has a lot of insight, probably knows G-man personally, and knows the complexities of being a GM.

 

A lot is at stake in this game, and I am sure that some people still actually want us to lose simply because of draft position. To hell with that. I want to win and let the chips fall where they may. Sure all of the ballyhooed OTs and CBs may be gone, but G-man is paid to figure that stuff out.  I'm sure there will be another A-rated pass rusher that will be available that he will take and make the Huddle tilt off its axis (LOL). 

 

21. Carolina Panthers
2014 record: 6-8-1 (.496)
Top three needs: Pass rusher, OT, CB
Analysis: Any team without a left tackle will have a difficult time on offense, and the Panthers' offense struggled in 2014. When Jordan Gross retired last year, Carolina moved Byron Bell from right to left tackle, but his run blocking and pass protection have been equally subpar. Right tackle hasn't been much better with Nate Chandler. The defense has been struggling to mount any pass rush without Greg Hardy, and who knows what his future holds.
Top-rated seniors at positional needs: Pass rusher: Vic Beasley (Clemson), Alvin Dupree (Kentucky), Owamagbe Odighizuwa (UCLA); OT: Brandon Scherff (Iowa), Cedric Ogbuehi (Texas A&M), La'el Collins (LSU); CB: Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (Oregon), Kevin Johnson (Wake Forest), Byron Jones (UConn

LT is an obvious need. CB isn't as scary as we thought at the beginning of this year with the outstanding play of Bene and Norman as of late but having a another solid CB wouldn't hurt.  That WR2 is a big need.  Philly has been great and I agree with Proehl, how was this guy not drafted by anyone? If we could compliment KB & Philly with a #2 that would be sweet. Safety is a concern and is a top 3 need in my opinion.  Kony has really up'd his game lately and put on some size but I guess getting another stud would be helpful, besides CJ is so hot/cold. 

 

Biggest need....OC.  Wish we could draft one of those.

I could see us going OLB/SS in the 1st (Shaq Thompson)

I want Devin Smith in the 2nd! He'd bring that explosiveness to this offense that we're so badly missing!

At some point we need to address the obvious need that is LT but this class seems to be getting weaker and weaker with each passing week

my money is on DE in the 1st. I know we have bigger needs,but i have a feeling Gman pulls a Giants type move.

 

 

IMO this will have more to say about Big Money than anything else.

 

 

I can certainly see this happening though, if the player is right at the pick.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By frankw · Posted

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
