I know we are in the heat of the playoffs and I hope we make a long run and change this position.

Currently NFL.com has us at 25 (Not sure why the 9-5 Chiefs are behind us.  so probably 26)

It should also be noted that our 3rd round pick from Buffalo will be 18 (give or take a spot or two)

I am pretty much in agreement.  I think Safety could be in this group too.

24. Carolina Panthers 
Record: 11-4 (.533) 
Top needs: OL, WR, DE 
The skinny: Carolina is in desperate need of a bell-cow at left tackle. Replacing guard Andrew Norwell could be a priority, as well, if he leaves in free agency. Wide receiver is another spot that appears to be a must-have position at some point early in the draft. Carolina needs a true edge bender with speed to get after the talented QBs in the NFC South.

Top needs that have to be adressed this offseason either through draft or FA : 

  1. Saftey
  2. DE
  3. WR
  4. LT
  5. CB

We absolutely can not afford to ignore saftey anymore, weve been putting free agent bandaids in the deep backfield for the longest time. I think we need to get either a saftey or a DE in R1 or R2 of the draft, theres no more excuses. Direly need to upgrade saftey and inject some youth into the position. 

My favorite prospects so far are (ofc just the ones we have a realistic shot at drafting so late in all the rounds) :

R1

  • Ronnie Harrison , S, Alabama (2nd favorite overall prospect)
  • Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson (Someone will take Ferrell way before we pick)
  • Sam Hubbard , DE, Ohio State

R2

  • Christian Kirk , WR, Tex A&M
  • Mark Andrews , TE, Oklahoma
  • Duke Ejiofor , DE, Wake Forest
  • Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
  • Anthony Miller, WR , Memphis

 

R3 

  • Troy Fumagalli (Favorite prospect in this whole draft) , TE, Wisconsin
  • Tavarus McFadden , CB, FSU

 

Be on the lookout for these dudes if they drop near to the bottom of the 1st for whatever reason (Simular to Ramzyck and Foster last year, couldve easily been top 10 picks in retrospect)

  • Derwin James , S, FSU (probably the best possible pick for us  , however unlikely)
  • Ardey Key , DE, LSU 
  • Mike McGlinchey (OT), Connor Williams (OT), Orlando Brown (OT)
  • Calvin Ridley , WR, Alabama

1. Safety

2. WR

3. CB

4. Center 

5. DE

6. TE

 

Right now in order who I'd like the First 3 rounds

1st round

A. Joshua Jackson- as closests thing to Josh Norman to come out in several years.

B. Ronnie Harrison- Athletic SS. Safety has been The biggest weak point on this team this year.

C. Christian Kirk- athletic WR.  WR core is terrible here now and could come right in and start.

D. Billy Price- will be a reach here but he is a late 1st early 2nd guy.  I dont expect Ryan Kalil to be here much longer.  Price is a mauler Center.

 

 

2nd round:

A. Billy Price- if he somehow falls, its a win

B. Deshon Elliot- see above with Harrison

C. Armani Watts

D. Donte Jackson

 

3rd round

A. Donte Pettis

B. Frank Ragnow

C. Josh Sweat

D.  Troy Fumagalli 

E. Anthony Miller

F. Porter Gustin

G. Michael Gallup

 

 

We'll resign Norwell, even if it involves cutting Ryan Kalil which open 7.5 mil in order to keep Norwell long tern

As a Georgia fan, I would be ecstatic with Nick Chubb at RB. He would be a perfect compliment to McCafrey as power back. Any time I see him run, reminds me a little of Ray Rice.

Sticking in the SEC, getting a true playmaker at WR in Calvin Ridley would br HUGE for this team but doubt he would be available when we pick.

Other needs include safety, DE, OT, OG, and c

      I agree.  As much as it doesn't make sense right now, I can see it happening.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
