Are we going to waste another first round pick on defense?

Since 2011 we have used

2 first round picks on offense, 4 on defense 

2 second round picks on offense, 4 on defense 

1 third round pick on offense, 3 on defense 

3 forth round picks on offense, 4 on defense 

 

Just completely utterly lopsided. This front office has avoided offense like a plague.  No QB in NFL history has gotten less help than Cam.  Straight up disgraceful

more than likely. The only thing we would take really high on offense is a RB. I can't see us taking an offensive linemen as high as we will draft. I hope we trade back in the first and another pick and take a running back and offensive linemen. We will probably stay put and take a CB, safety, or DE

Finally, people are starting to see the problem with our team since we have drafted Newton. We take Newton at No. 1 overall...Newton comes into the worst offense of all time...Newton goes out and sets all kinds of records with said terrible offense.

Instead of trying to surround Newton with ACTUAL talent...the Panthers Front Office goes defense, defense, defense, defense...Forgetting that our HC is SUPPOSED to do more with less.

It is the same moronic philosophy with the Rex Ryan. Ryan is supposed to be a defensive genius...yet the Jets and the Bills ALWAY invest in defense, defense, defense...and leave his offense out to dry.

What the hell is the purpose of hiring Rivera, who is supposed to do more with less, and then going disproportionately defense so that his defense can give up 500 yards to Julio Jones and make Sam Bradford look like he is a ProBowler?

Your starting 2017 DEs: Myles Garrett and JPP

Depends on who's on the board. I wouldn't necessarily see a guy like Peppers or Garrett as a "waste".

I'd rather have an OT, but I'm just not sure there's anyone there I'm comfortable with.

Garrett is not in the same stratosphere as Peppers as prospect.

I would take a any OT really, since it would be a MAJOR of what we got now

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
