Just How Big is our need at CB too? (Panthers meeting with rd 2-3 CB's)

[ncfan]

Believe we met with this guy at the combine too.

Williams was being projected as a round 2-3 guy by most

[MHS831]

What I hear is we like Jackson and Bradberry on the outside.  We have Cockrell and Seymour behind them.  We need a nickel, and this defense really struggled with Capt. back there.  I would not trivialize the nickel  position here (not to say you are).

Thats what I thought, but just found it interesting that we are showing pretty good size interest in one of the higher ranked big press CBs

It’s a huge need.  Right now our nickel is Corn Elder and that guy was atrocious last year

Elder made Munnerlyn look like an All-Pro...

Bradberry, Jackson, and Cockrell could be solid if healthy, but Seymour seemed to regress and Elder shouldn't be on the roster... In today's NFL, you ideally need 4 quality CB's, so yeah it's definitely a need

Sarcasm right?

Not sure why you would think that at all... I think they could be the best CB group since 2015.

Jackson is an emerging Pro-Bowl level talent, Bradberry was solid for the most part, and Cockrell was signed to be a starter before his injury.

It's certainly not the worst group in the league and far from many of the CB groups we've had under Rivera.

How well they hold up with a pass rush that has a lot of question marks remains to be seen, but on talent alone, the group is solid.

In the NFL today you probably need to draft a CB every year. If you get a good group you will no doubt be playoff bound.

Julian Love is an interesting prospect in the same draft range...

Haha jokes on you. We’re looking for our next Special Teams Ace.

No one makes Munnerlyn look like an All-Pro.  Corn was equally as bad, but you can't be worse than Munnerlyn was the past 2 years

If cockrell is healthy he needs to play on the outside

Bradberry and Jackson are our outside corners.

[poorboysrev]

Our secondary has been trash for years I’ve got no problem with them adding another good corner...and Bradberry should be due for a new contract in the next year or 2 I’d think?  I wouldn’t blame them looking for a cheaper , younger, high upside player in case we have to let him walk. Free agent starting cbs get paid big time

Im a huge fan of Donte but he’s still aint there yet as a player. He was torched for a long run after the catch by Ridley the 2nd time vs Atl. Bradberry is so inconsistent. And Cockrell has been JAG now coming off a serious injury. We need 1-2 more cbs. 

Donte might be our best CB and he was a rookie. Getting torched on a play is going to happen in today’s NFL. He probably got caught looking in the backfield which is typical for a rookie. I feel like all year he was ranked 2 behind Ward for rookie CBs.
