REPORT: Carolina Panthers already setting their sights on positional priorites in next April's draft

Whoever we have as GM next year has to fix the defense... gotta be #1 priority. That means getting rid of Washington or put him back with the d-line. Pass rush is a must, find someone to replace Davis because Shaq ain’t the answer... maybe another corner to play with Jackson

That would be a nightmare scenario. The strength of this class is right where we need it and you are ignoring it? I’d be happy if our 4 picks in rounds 1-3 were all DL. S is cheap in FA and hopefully Cockrell is healthy enough to take over the slot and Olsen will still be here and Thomas will hopefully get more reps/better coaching. Larsen played well when he took over for Kalil the prior two years.

DL in the strongest DL class in many years is the smart move. Helps the entire D.

I have not looked at the draft so I don't where the value will be. I think the best course of action is to build the o-line IF we're getting good value. If the players aren't there then we'll have to look at other positions.

Oc? center? im fine with tyler giving it a go early take a devlopemental guy later

I'd like to draft a center similar to Max Unger, or larger. Keep the pocket clean, open things up for CMC, 4th and 1 Cam can follow the monster and that's an automatic 1st down, control the clock. The o-line decided our fate against Denver in the SB, and it seals our fate every season. We have the weapons, the QB, now we need the o-line.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
