Which spots on our roster will benefit most from BPA.

With our holes seemingly having been addressed in FA, what position do you think we benefit most from BPA (assuming we are able to get solid players)?

 

1.RB- Stew's contract and health is always a concern

2.DE- Looking to replace CJ for cheap?

3.SS- Harper is slow

4.LB- Klein I doubt has lived up to expectations/TD replacement

 

 

If we can get solid contributors at these positions, we should field a formidable team next year.

I would have to agree with DE and RB but since the draft is deep with WR and CB I would have to rank them higher than safety and LB but there could be some good LB at 25 like Dawson and Thompson. I wouldn't say OT because the best would probably be gone. Any tackle left when we pick probably wouldn't be BPA.

Please no Dawson. He ran slow and when he was getting heat for that, went on twitter to say he is not a track athlete. Combine that with news about his attitude and I don't want him. He also looked quite fat in his combine drills lol.

True but he is a top talent and kills it on game film. Sometimes players have bad measurements but tear it up on the field, this is one of those guys. He isn't a player I would want with our 25th pick but could be the BPA.

Wrong there are 6 1st round grade OT's that  would be BPA  over LB, DE , or CB  that would fall to us also.

BPA is a nice philosophy, but in reality, I don't think teams follow it that closely unless someone drops a complete round or something, you know like Kony did.

 

The first 3 round in my opinion are to look for guys that could possibly contribute right away and for us it would be WR, DE and RB if Gurley drops.

 

After that, you look at who might be on a one year deal or his last contract season.  I expect Gman to take a couple OT's especially since we have 3 5th rounders because Martin is a one year deal, Remmers, Oher, etc are all short term guys. Grooming their replacements should be in order.

 

I would expect

 

1st  WR or Gurley

2nd Cedric or DE, WR

3rd  OT, CB, S, RB (if no Gurley)

4th  Guys to groom

5th   Same with the possibility of trading pick

5th  Groom

5th   Groom

6th   Groom or trade

7th   Groom or trade

Have to disagree with you there. There's a lot of uncertainty this year with the OT's.

 

Most uncertainty is technique , which is coachable , also the Top LBs, DE's and CB's worth the value will be taken before our pick but the OT's will be there. Even if they don't start at LT they will be immediate day one starters at RT which is  a vital position in the run game which seems to panther's identity to compliment a top defense right?  

 

Check out the link for grading on NFL combine with  6.0 being a Instant starter.

Everyone else: Please stop spreading false rumors about OT's there is talent in the 1st round that should make immediate impacts on multiple levels from the run game to a clean pocket for AceBoogie!

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
