Honestly we only have one cb that's guaranteed to be here long term if Hurney maintains his job. (Donte Jackson)

Cockrell wasn't signed for much for a few years and if Bradberry disappoints again he won't get a long term offer. There's no telling what Corn Elder will bring but if it's anything worth wild he'll make Captain expendable after this season.

Agreed. I think it might be tough giving up a top draft pick knowing how many young CBs we have now and knowing we just used our 2nd on Jackson. 

I'm not certain it would be if we really like the prospect. Bradberry has to be considered a bit of an unknown after last season. He looked really good as a rookie but he looked like trash last year. Jackson still hasn't played a snap. We'd probably cut Captain if it wasnt cap prohibitive. Cockrell was an afterthought of a backup plan after Breeland showed up with his foot rotting off.

We have numbers at CB but whether or not we have the actual answers is still very much up in the air.

Shouldn’t mater that much.  5 CBs were taken before Jackson.  10 in the first two rounds last year.  NFC nemesis Green Bay took 4 DBs in the first two rounds in the 2017 and 2018 drafts.  That’s not even including the other rounds, the free agents, and the trades around the league landscape.

Good news is that the panthers sent scouts to his pro day so they're fully aware that the secondary needs to get better talent.... 

Bad news is that EVERY NFL team was at his pro day. If I'm not mistaken Sam Beal is the first prospect in the supplemental draft that had every team attended his pro day. 

Anyone that wants him will probably have to cough up a 2nd so favorites would be any team that needs cb help and has mulptie 2nd next year

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
