No team has All-Pros at every position.

We definitely need a starting safety. Coleman is a serviceable safety, he just can't be the best DB on the field. That's a recipe for disaster.

OLB? Why? Are we assuming TD retire? Maybe he does, but if he doesn't we definitely don't need another OLB. We play nickel the vast majority of the time anyway and a rookie LB is probably not getting ahead of Shaq on the depth chart. That would really have people howling about a wasted draft pick.

We definitely need a starting caliber DE. Preferably a guy who can be or can develop into an elite pass rusher. Try to sign CJ to another cheap short term deal and have him and Ealy platoon at LDE and sign or draft a hell raising RDE.

OT? Abso-fuging-lutely. Gotta get a LT. Unfortunately, I think Oher might be done. I'm alright with Williams at RT and Remmers as a backup if we can get a good LT in here.

We definitely need to start considering life without Kalil. He'll be 32 next year and his body seems to be wearing down. Hopefully he has another 2-3 good years left in him, but we shouldn't count on in. If there's a mid-late round developmental guy who we think could develop into his replacement, pull the trigger.

Yeah, we need a #2 TE. Dickson is fuging trash. This offense would be in a world of hurt if anything happened to Olsen.

Agree on RB too. Stew is wearing down and has always been injury prone. Last year was his swan song. It was great to see him come back and have a great year, but it was fool's gold. I think CAP can be a decent #2 and I like Fozzy as a 3rd down back, but we need a new bell cow.

I like Adams quite a bit at safety too, but not sure if I like him top 10 good.

If we're sitting on the clock in the 1st round (top 10 for damn sure, maybe top 5) and Garrett, Peppers, and Fournette are gone, I'd be all for trying to trade down.

Those are my three guys right now. Garrett, Peppers, Fournette. In that order.

With Kalil, Olsen, Stewart and Davis getting up there in age... We need...

SS, FS, OLB, 2x DE, OT (possibly 2), C, TE, RB... Buck up for the long haul guys. 

Kalil and Olsen have at least a couple more years for sure, and possibly more who knows. TD seems to as well but if not we've got Shaq. Stew will be replaced by Fournette next year. Boom baby. All set on those fronts. Do need a TE2 though.

Honestly, Fournette is the pick I'm expecting as well. I think Garrett and Peppers will likely be gone. My Tar Heel QB Trubisky will probably go #1. I'm just hoping some teams might fall in love with guys who I either don't want (Cam Robinson) or guys who don't fit our needs (Jonathan Allen, Marlon Humphrey, Malik McDowell, etc.) to push guys down the board.

Garrett, Peppers, Fournette, Trade Down

That's my 1st round draft board at the moment - assuming the same coaching staff/philosophy. Now if we're gonna go with a man cover scheme then Marlon Humphrey enters the equation, I just don't see spending a top 10 pick on a CB with our current defensive scheme.

All of these issues can be solved with the draft and FA, DG better not fug it up

Like New England you mean...actually planning to replace an older valuable veteran, draft their replacement, and then move the veteran while they still have value for more draft picks  and after the backup,has gotten experience 

what a concept.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
