My early depth chart of the Panthers atm

*5/3/16: CHECK BLOG FOR UPDATED CHART*

This is how I see where we stand right now. I believe Garrett will take either Norwood's or Bersin's spot. Most likely Norwood since Bersin is at least dependable at catching the ball. O-line depth is lacking.

I also think Boykin is our best outside guy atm then moving inside on nickel and dime packages with McClain or a rookie going outside. I don't think we throw a rookie to the wolves on the outside full time unless he greatly impresses during preseason. At safety, with Coleman's versatility, I think he goes to SS and Boston at FS. Cash and Marlowe backing up. The only thing lacking on D is LB depth.

I hope we add Boldin to our WR group. It would give us another sure-handed WR and we can use Ginn in the slot. We sorely need another WR with sure hands. Also, we should look at signing Scifres at punter. This is one overlooked position that is crucial to our field possession game.

Post your own too if you want. Would like to see others version as well.

I don't think all 3 of Fozzy, CAP, and Wegher make the final 53, I think we'll carry one less RB this year and have an extra CB or WR.

Fozzy was solid for us last year, but he's not a long term solution and I think we need to see what CAP and more importantly Wegher bring to the table in meaningful action.

I'm 100% on board with bringing in Boldin as a reliable pass catcher but more importantly, to replace Cotchery as the leader of a young and inexperienced recieving corps.

Ginn can't teach these young kids the nuances of playing the position, we need someone to step into Cotchery's role within that grouping and Boldin seems like a great fit

Something to watch in the coming few days.  After signing Beachum Joeckel is expendable and for a $6+ million one year salary they may have to trade him for a song.  We could absorb him as a one year rental/backup/tryout and if he does become half of the stud he was expected to be we can extend long term.  If not cut bait.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
