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.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
