The Panthers are taking a defensive back

Yes, receiver remains a need as well, but this is a tough first round to try to address that need. But the defensive backs crop is quite deep and they could end up accounting for a fourth of all first-round picks and I can't see the Panthers not getting in on that group. I can't tell you which one just yet  - a safety like Justin Reid or a corner like Josh Jackson, perhaps - but this is one team-to-position pairing that is as crystal clear as it seems. Hard to see a pass rusher dropping who would make any sense.

Makes sense, but it’ll depend on who’s on the board. When you’re picking in the 20s you can’t decide to pick any certain position(s) three weeks out. Per usual, there will be some guys go earlier than anyone thought and there will be some guys slip further down than anyone thought.

Better than last year? We fielded arguably the worst secondary in the league last year. That’s a mighty low bar to clear.

I agree, with that being said.  The bar has been cleared. 

 IMO the safety position has a more glaring hole.  I think Cockrell will be a definite upgrade over Worley, with decent back ups in Gunter and Seymour.

Is there a corner in the draft that will make us the secondary that much better?  Even so, there will still be a hole at the safety position and with talent at the cb in the draft.  We can afford not to take one with our 1st.  

 

Not opposed to selecting a defensive back just make sure its a safety.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
