How many starters MUST the Panthers get from this draft?


Jeremy Igo

In your opinion how many year 1 starters MUST the Carolina Panthers get from this NFL draft? 

 

Feels like two for me, considering how lacking in talent they are at so many positions. Will be difficult to find free agents who would do any better than a high round rookie. Easiest for rookies to start in this squad? Safety, CB, WR, LG.  As such, I am willing to bet the first three picks will be in these categories.

Yep I'm thinking 2 or 3. After round 1 I'm worried about our picks though.

I agree, if we can get 2 I’d say we are playoff bound for sure this year.  I’m willing to go out on a limb and say DB rd 1, OL rd 2 and then we go skill position on offense with both of our 3rd, rb/wr.

only thing that I think may change any of this, is if we get someone good that falls into our lap, like Star did a few years ago. 

Also it is of my opinion that any time you can get the best player at their prospective position in the draft it’s a good pick.  Examples of picks like this in the past were R.Kalil, Luke and of course Cam.

you need a plan when going into the draft, but also a plan you’re willing to adjust.

I also think the guy we draft for guard will either be a T/G type or a C/G type. 

Connor Williams, Isaiah Winn, and Billy Price. With the Kalil bros. on the way out and Daryl coming up for contract we could spend two early picks on OL and I wouldn't be mad.

Two feels like the right number BUT I don't really believe you can think of it that way. If we take Ridley, Hurst, Chubb and Bates in the first 3 rounds there is a chance none would start this year but that doesn't mean they would be bad picks.  I would hope Ridley and Bates would start at some point this season but you know how Rivera is and it could be year 2 before they start.

If we go CB, S, C/G with 3 of our 4 (day one day two) picks we'll end up with three starters.   If we select a TE in round 2 or 3 that TE could take the starting role as TE2.  

I think any WR outside of round one will not be ready to start unless a real good one falls into round 2. 

My only issue is that RR is such a vet guy that he might overlook a better talented rookie for a veteran.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
