Panthers come in at 13 which is

pretty fair. Says ideal free agent WR would be Torrey Smith. Starting to like that idea more and more although I love Eddie Royal as well. Also mentions need for a 3rd cb to go with JNo and Bene.

"13. Carolina Panthers

OT: The 2014 Panthers were lucky to get as far as they did with such poor offensive line play. The unit did come together a bit down the stretch, but LT Byron Bell never stopped being a liability and is now a free agent. Planning to sign Cam Newton to a mammoth extension, Carolina can't afford to keep surrounding him with rag-tag blockers.

WR: The Panthers badly need speed at wide receiver. Kelvin Benjamin paid dividends as a 2014 first-round pick, but is short on separation and run-after-catch skills. Going on age 33, Jerricho Cotchery is best suited to play slot receiver at this stage of his career. I personally believe free agent Torrey Smith would be an ideal addition.

DE: Charles Johnson, Kony Ealy, Mario Addison, and Wes Horton form a solid defensive end nucleus, but Greg Hardy's off-field misdeeds stripped Carolina of its lone dominating edge pass rusher. Hardy's contract is up, and the Panthers seem likely to move on.

DB: RCB Bene Benwikere, LCB Josh Norman, and FS Tre Boston are solidified as promising young starters, but Carolina desperately needs a third cornerback, and a safety to upgrade on 32-year-old Roman Harper. At this stage of his career, Harper would be best utilized as a linebacker in dime packages."

Interesting factoid from last night.  The Patriots only first round pick on offense was Nate Solder.  19 out of 32 teams have a first rounder at LT.  It's time we get with the program...NOW...er, April. 

 

can't just reach though....the last time we drafted for need/reached we ended up with Fua and McClain.

 

That ought to become a draft mantra....Remember Fua.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
