We don't need to Draft a TE!

[AllTimeSackLeader90]

I seen a lot of mocks with a TE at 8th? Panthers Fan here from day 1, 95! I feel like we do need a RB! I don't like the DE pick either when we lead the league in sacks! Finished 2nd in league with 48 an 49 was the best! So RB or CB is the tire need here! I'm happy we got back CAP41, still a need in that CB position! We had the worst secondary in the NFL! An I offense struggled to get anything going we need a explosive player on offense! What do y'all think?

Corner is not that big of a need. The secondary was bad at the start of the year, but both Worely and Bradberry came into their own, and with the changes made this off season they will be even better.

Captain in at nickel, which we play a majority of the time, is going to be huge.

Adams at strong safety is a ball hawk, and will allow Coleman to move back to free safety where he had 10 ints a season ago. 

I think, RB, or WR is a bigger need, although I do agree that pick 8 is high for a WR this year.

IF you go by value alone, DE will be BPA. 

IF you believe offense over defense for whatever reason, then there is no way you can discredit the talent and impact Howard would have. Fournette is talented and will have big impact also, but in a draft that is so deep at RB, the BPA probably tilts toward Howard.

i think you try and draft an impact player in the first no matter the position.  imagine if the panthers didn't take Kuechly at 9 because they already had Beason. I think gettleman will draft whoever he thinks can make an immediate impact and will be a game changer .  what he has done in FA tells me that he's set the team up to take BPA at 8.  we'll see

And here we are talking about needs again..

[Panthero]

we were high in sacks due to a blitz heavy scheme last year. nice to get those aacks with just 4 players, so our CBs dont get burnt like toast.

I agree, we need a deep threat WR more than a TE.

Whatever happened to the 100 post threshold?

To be fair, it is a very deep TE class as well. Lots of talent at the position with still be available with or seconds or comp. in the 3rd.

I'd just like to mention the fact that the #8 overall pick isn't the only pick we have in this draft.

I'd prefer to not take a TE at #8, but I absolutely think there will be opportunities to upgrade that position at another point in the draft.
