Are you comfortable with the roster?

Not comfortable with WR or Oline  depth.

 

Interior o-line is good, tackle position will be supplemented in the draft.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Depth in general.  I would like to see another skilled DB.  Not overly thrilled about Young.and Southward as back ups to Bradberry and Worley.

And of course O-line in general.   I see Scott was missed on this but he just resigned.

Adams will play SS, Coleman back to FS. I disagree. If anything we could use a good young SS

Adams isn't good enough.

If we get an injury at either OT during the season  and have to rely on rooks...going to be a looooong season.

WRs are still trash.

Well compared to 2016  https://www.google.com/amp/s/charlotteobserver.relaymedia.com/amp/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/nfl-blog/article94035257.html it's already better overall.

All of last years rookies should benefit from the experience of last year. That being said here's my thoughts.

Secondary has been improved greatly. With Coleman and Boston both back where they belong and the additions of Cap and Adams the secondary looks light years better. 

Linebackers took a small step back due to Klein leaving but that's ok in the grand scheme of things.

DE- 2nd most improved group on the field. Addison seeing more snaps, Ealy seeing 0 and the addition of Peppers bolsters this unit.

DT- Possible addition by subtraction here. Top 3 remain the same but Soliai is gone. I don't think Crume played at all last year so a bit of an unknown.

On offsense we took a step back.

QB- wash

HB- small step back. Not because of Tolbert but Stewart is a now a year older and any reasonable person would expect declined play to some degree.

OL- Hard to Gauge. At this time last year we didn't have the benefit of knowing injuries would wreak havoc on this unit. I'd expect Kalil to be about a wash vs what we expected out of Oher last year. Maybe  better but his career can't justify that statement yet. RT is about a wash. Williams couldn't beat out Remmers for the starting job so we will have to wait and see if he takes a step forward this year.

WR- A slight downgrade in terms of proven production. A possible upgrade in terms of potential. Last years enthusiasm on Funchess had been tempered a bit.

TE- Wash, or if you subscribe to the old saying "if you aren't getting better you are getting worse". Could actually make that statement about HB too. 

Knowing we still have good draft capital to boost the talent on the team and enough cap room to add some more depth I feel much more optimistic than last year.

No

If certain players play up to their supposed abilities then we could be good this year, if not I'm looking at maybe .500

I haven't been this excited about our roster going into the Draft in a long long time.

You weren't excited about 2015, especially before Benjamin's injury?

That was a damn good looking squad with only real holes at a good starter opposite of CJ at DE and Remmers still playing RT? 

Tillman is still my favorite 1 year band aid Gman has done so far. 

[OneBadCat]

I don't think WR will be a problem because I for one think Funchess will blossom and KB will return to form. We will also draft a WR. 

I'm still definitely concerned about depth behind Stewart which where I hope Fournette comes in. 

DE is still a concern. I would have felt better about it if we did not trade Ealy. But I don't like CJ and Peppers being relied on too heavily.

Lol Just being honest. We need 2 WRs in this draft.

Compared to 2015, this WR crew is BEAST! Sacrificed speed last year for size. I think everyone realizes that was a mistake, and now they have it in spades!!!!
