What do Carolina Panthers’ offseason moves say about NFL draft priorities?

Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman has filled some holes in free agency, but not all

Charles Johnson is back on a team-friendly deal, but a defensive end at No. 30 is possible

Despite veteran starters Greg Olsen and Jonathan Stewart, TE and RB could be draft needs

I think you gotta go RB in the first 3 rounds.  Stewart staying healthy even for the amount of games that he did last year was unusual.  If he is back to normal next year(struggling with injuries), you have fozzy, cap, and Tolbert sharing the load in a run first offense.  thats not gonna cut it and you're going to be putting Cam at a much higher risk because he's going to be forced to run the ball on his own a lot more.  

Hopefully we make a trade to get 2 2nd round picks and select a RB there somewhere.

    • I can understand the logic. Going for 2 made sense the first time considering how far down we were. Then you don't get it and are basically forced to go for it the second time, too. Way down the list of concerns we have, IMO.
    • Rozeboom needs to get better before he's a JAG.
    • The successful teams in the NFL right now have one thing in common: Patience. Not just with their QB, but with every facet of the program. There are going to be successes and failures, but no one panics and makes reactive decisions. Look at the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Packers, and hell, even the (newly successful) Lions. All of them showed patience with their QB's growth, let their coaches do their jobs, have drafted well, developed their own players, and plugged holes in their roster and organization with players and situations that made sense. That's what we need. And if that isn't what we have now, we need to make moves to get it there. If that means they need to blow it up to start over, then blow it up and start it over the right way. If that means to change their approach from top to bottom, change it now. But the blueprint of success is out there in the league, teams just think they know better, or they don't have the discipline to follow through.
