PFF:3 draft needs for the Carolina Panthers


TheSpecialJuan

Recommended Posts

The Carolina Panthers are one of the rare examples of a team selecting in the top 10 in the NFL draft without having a ton of needs. That does not mean that they have elite or above-average players at every position, but the team’s core is extremely young and general manager Dave Gettleman will probably give these inexperienced players some more time to develop before thinking about replacing them. The Panthers have already had a good offseason so far as they were able to bring in some veterans for positions where they looked thin, including edge defender, safety and cornerback.

Here’s a look at the areas the Panthers can most improve come draft day.

Holy poo, a level headed and well written article about our "needs" with appropriate analysis and reasonable draft picks. Thanks for the share, I enjoy reading actual analysis rather than click bait mock drafts.

Yeah, they seem level headed until you look at their 3-round mock draft they put together six days ago.  They have us taking Barnett at #8 with Adams, Thomas, and Fournette all still on the board.  I knew cocaine was a helluva drug, but seriously, PFF needs to go into rehab.

Who knows how we view Barnett? I love the kid and think he could be better than Hardy was on the field for us without the off field retartedness. I highly doubt he's above any of those 3 on our board but it's not impossible. I could see everything around us being a smokescreen with Barnett the number one target at 8. And honestly wouldn't have any problem with that. Ideally though we grab Fournette or Adams and trade back into the first to grab Barnett as he seems more like a mid to late first than top 10.

This is one of the few media outlets who said we had a solid offseason, which we did. All I see is "such a bad contract for a horrible Kalil". Good stuff thanks for sharing.

Obvoiously, in this scenario, Adams, Thomas, and Fournette were all in a major car crash on their way to the draft. That's the only way all 3 are still on the board at 8.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
