Team Needs and Roster Rankings.

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."

Agree, seems pretty well informed.

Providing  Cam Newton with weapons is a must..... There is already reports that Indy is going to load up on another weapon for Andrew Luck....

That GM is a moron, then....that defense is pitiful to watch and he has absolutely no running game help.

agreed. indy needs defense or they're a quick playoff exit every year.

Maybe they should trade for a RB...

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.

The defense carried them in their two playoff wins

They need a better defense. They lost 45-7.

Decent write up.

[WOW!!]

I'd put DB's over Dline but everything else is right on the money. ..

[Gin and Juice]

Derrick Morgan

Joe Barksdale

Chris Hairston

Kenrick Ellis

Daquan Bowers(as UT)

Torrey Smith

DaNorris Searcy

6 of these modest FAs of their position make us an improved team going into the draft and allow us to truly draft BPA

You have lost your mind! Didn't 2013 and this year show you that our D revolves around the line??

Watch a game, hell, you can learn that much just by looking at the stat line
