My Preseason top 50 after re-watching every game

Thanks to NFL Game Pass free trial I was able to watch all 3 games again (3rd time for each) with much better look thanks to the condensed and slow motion features.

 

I limited the list to 47, to account for the 3 specialist(Gano,Nortman and Jansen) and our 3 injured D-line starters.  This is not a final 53 projection, just the top 47 who played in preseason based on my observations. Would love some feedback on what everyone else thinks.

 

This list excludes Benjamin due to his injury, otherwise he obviously would have been here.

 

QB 3

Cam Newton

Derek Anderson

Joe Webb

 

HB 5

Cameron-Artis Payne (best looking pure runner on the team throughout preseason)

Fozzy Whitaker (improved after Buffalo game and is def. the best in pass protection)

Jordan Todman (might be the best at getting skinny in the hole)

Brandon Wegher (did his work against scrubs but still looked good)

Jonathan Stewart( just didn't see much action to be able to rank him above the others)

 

 

No way we can keep this many,so odds are Wegher goes to practice squad and Fozzy/Todman decision will come down to the wire

 

 

FB 1

Tolbert (Finally looked like his former self against New England)

 

WR. 5

Devin Funchess (was limited but he looked good)

Tedd Ginn Jr.

Jarret Boykin

Brenton Bersin

Jerricho Cotchery

 

 

I couldn't put Corey on this list. He sucked very badly this preseason.  5-6(6th is subjective) drops on 11 targets. 

 

T.E 3

Greg Olsen 

ED Dickson

Scott Simonson

 

 

O-LINE 8

Daryl Williams

Trai Turner

Ryan Kalil

Mike Remmers

Michael Oher

Amdrew Norwell

Travis Henry

Chris Scott

 

 

Will 8 be enough to start the season?  Have to believe Amini ultimately makes the roster and that might kick Folkerts off or they could keep 9. Nate Chandler does not belong in the NFL as an 0-lineman.

 

 

 

D-line 7

Colin Cole

Dwan Edwards

Kony Ealy

Kyle Love

Mario Addison

Wes Horton

ArthurMiley/RakimCox

 

Johnson, Star and Short will bump 3 off this list come cut time. Maybe we keep 8 and the final spot comes down to the better run defender in Miley or pass rusher in Cox.

 

 

LB’S (6)

Shaq Thompson

Luke Kuechly

Thomas Davis

A.J Klein

David Mayo

Adarius Glanton

 

Could easily see this being the final LB's. 

 

 

Corners (5)

Josh Norman

Charles Tillman

Bene Benwikere

Teddy Williams (Yes those with a good memory, I wanted to cut him after the Buffalo game, however he’s bounced back strong)

Melvin White

 

If 5 is enough( I think it is) then these should be the guys imo. If we keep another, gotta pick between Byndom and Heath.

 

Safeties (4)

Kurt Coleman

Roman Harper

Tre Boston 

Colin Jones (mainly his special teams contributions)

 

Don't see any reason this list would change when we get down to 53.

 - If it comes down to Miley or Cox, I'm guessing DG will go with the better pass rusher in Cox.

 - I agree that Scott Simonson has looked the best of the TE's not named Olsen or Dickson. I do like Marcus Lucas's potential, though.

 - I can't see Folkerts making the team after that performance against the Pats. Remmers can't be any worse and we know Williams can start at right tackle in that scenario. Hopefully Kalil stays healthy, though.

 - God, I wish they'd put Tre Boston and Kurt Coleman on the field together instead of starting Harper at strong safety again.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By Panthers Addict · Posted

      What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
