Nice article on KK.  I think he can be great.

Interesting situation approaching.  Two young star quality DTs.  Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Gettleman is going to do his magic and keep both but for just for argument.

 You can only keep one.  Do you keep Star or do you Keep Short?

For me.  Short would get the nod just because he seems to be on the floor longer.

We will keep Short as he will still be cheaper to resign than Star based on his draft position. As for Star, let's see what he does this year and next. Hard to say which will be better by the time we have to resign them.

Draft position after the fact has nothing to do with who will be paid more after the rookie deal. 

Whoever played better on the field will be getting paid more. 

Short was a massive steal in the draft. Easily the best pass rushing DT in that draft. Dumb ass GM's

We made the mistake with Witherspoon and Morgan, I hope we don't do it again!

Spoon wanted the money dude.  He left Carolina because he thought he could be a mike and get paid mike money elsewhere (which he did).

 

It would have been a mistake to have kept Spoon IMO at the price it would have taken.

Star is underrated when compared to Short by many Panther fans.  Too many only notice the flash,  but fail to realize that it's Star pushing the pocket taking up multiple blockers.  Much of the flash everyone likes is because of the unflashy work Star does.

Both Star and Short are vital to our defense.  Our defense starts with the front seven, so if Gettleman has to make a future cap choice, he'll pass on signing Norman to make sure he has the space to sign both DT's.  So, I have no doubts that Gettleman will get both signed, we can easily stagger the big cap hits.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
