Man yall got to understand Ron only like to talk about actually players on his roster, he is not going to speculate about possible players because thats not really what he does. so when talking about running backs, he is only going to speak about CAP, CMC and Fozzy because thats whats what he has right now.

I personally think CAP will do alright. If he didn't fumble a couple of times he would have played more. But when he's played he usually did pretty good. I think they'll draft somebody later on and maybe pick up a vet to compete, but he's got some talent. They could not have kept him last year along with Fozzy if they didn't like them both.

CAP is the power back. 

Manhertz is the Tight End. 

 

This is all about not tipping their hand to anyone else in the draft. Neither of these statements is likely the case. 

First thought too, nothing like a good old fashion lie fest before the draft.

first rule for pre-draft news is don’t believe anything you hear!

At running back, there's still dirt cheap free agents to be had, might as well wait to the draft and take a guy if he fits, if not, move on and sign someone like Alfred Morris.

This.  With how many FA backs there are, we can afford to *see* if there is value at RB at some point during our picks, and if not, we can get a "bruiser" from FA.  

This is especially relevant if you believe the coaching staff that CMC will be the feature back and the new RB would just be a compliment, not a workhorse.

If fumbling is what kept him off the field then why was Stew playing. He had some awful untimely fumbles over the last couple years. Some games more than one

I know people want us to have a stud RB to go with CMC but I feel that CAP will do a good job as our power back. He’s always put up decent numbers in the limited amount of time we have allowed him to play. He is cheap and doesn’t have any injury’s. We will be using CMC a lot more this year so why waste a draft pick or money on a top RB that won’t get that many snaps? 

 

I dont like having Manhertz as our #2 TE. However we honestly don’t use two tight ends much to begin with. If Olsen gets hurt it will really hurt us but as a back up Manhertz may be good enough for us. Dickson was our blocking TE and he sucked at blocking. Manhertz is bigger and I believe a better blocker so if you think about it we basically upgraded at blocking TE. Manhertz could end up doing well when given the chance. We really don’t have much tape to go off of. 

 

I really hope hope we can draft a solid TE sign one UDFA that is a project. we could have him sit for a  year as our #3 TE and learn.

 

The only draft isn’t loaded with TE and I honestly don’t believe the best TE in this draft will amount to anything special. I think we have a better chance of converting a player to TE or sign a udfa TE than actually finding a future TE for our team.

We don't use two tight ends because we don't have a good second tight end.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      By TD alt · Posted

      Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.
