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

    • I think we have some revisionist around it here because of all the drama around Tepper's involvement. If you pull up any scouting report from the time you'll see the same take. WalterFootball's report sums up the media's thoughts on him well: "Young has everything the NFL is looking for in a quarterback except in terms of weight and height." He was the consensus top QB of his draft and the only real question mark they had about him was whether his body could hold up in the NFL. The infamous Steph Curry comparison the Panthers latched onto came from Albert Breer. The excuses I've heard for him are more anecdotal. Bryce Young's development is the only bullet point most NFL fans have on the Panthers right now. That and the coaching turnover. If you're not actually watching our games it's easy to believe this is just a dysfunctional organization that doesn't know how to unleash this talented Heisman winner.  I've seen media and fans alike run with that narrative way more than criticizing Young outright. Whenever we win there's flocks who use it as proof that the Panthers just need to be patient.  
    • So maybe 1-3 vs playoff teams, going by standings as of today. I guess that is an improvement.  We are just about improved enough to be in purgatory draft wise. It really isn’t so bad in the 1st unless you really want that top QB or maybe edge guy because there are usually plenty of good players at the top but it hurts you some as get deeper in the draft.
