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

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
