2018 Needs and the draft


DaveThePanther2008

Recommended Posts

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'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.
    • Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!  
    • Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
