No matter what we go in the 1st round edge rusher or OT .. Marty better plan to get his starting free safety in the 2nd round.. That's where the run is going to come from.  Between Savage, Abram, Nasir, Thornhill, Thompson and Rapp.. You can get a starter and not pray they fall to the 3rd round .. Or get a teir lower than them and pray he beats out the crap on the roster.. With the word of Galuden switch .. I can't see how they aren't targeting the top FS talent in this draft...

Agreed. I'm not sure there will be a safety taken in the 1st but there will probably be a bunch go in the 2nd and 3rd. There will be some good options available at #47. There may or may not be at #77.

Ageee I think you get a day 1 starter at 47.. Your gambling at 77..jmo

Is Rapp still a second round prospect after his showing? Better yet is he even a option for our team? I dont think we can afford another slow guy back there with rapp being most likely to play SS or in the box. I think that has Reid all over it, we need a rangey Centerfielder type ball hawk. savage,Nasir, Thornhill are My top choices here and I agree it almost has to be safety here.

Been saying this.  With the QBs and edge rusher in the 1st.  And even a potential to have 3+ WRs in the 1st which is more than normal.  

Combined with this years Elite Safety FA class where many teams with glaring holes there filled them (and remember teams usually use FA to set up their draft)

There is going to be some really really good FS guys for us in the 2nd

I was talking to another Huddler about this over the weekend, with Reids extension IMO Rapps skill set should be off our broad. 

I know we had him in a few days ago but a Rapp/Reid safety tandem is gonna get abused in the passing game. 

I think the safety pick kinda has to be Savage/Thornhill since Adderley will be gone

DARNELL

MFING

SAVAGE

JR

A edge rusher like Sweat or Burns in the 1st

And

Savage, Adderly, or Thornhill in the 2nd

 

Our defense will be back on track and cooking.  Back to what we were when we won the division 3 consecutive seasons

Seems it depends on who is there and their ultimate value.  With quarterback and FS both projected as high as our second pick I suspect if both guys we want are there we will go QB first if there are questions about Cam. If we go FS it should suggest backup QB isn't a huge need.

I know right,... what a waste

I’ll believe it when I see it...I listened to Smiths interview all he said was we were taking a Qb...people trying to predict how high is pure speculation. It’d seem to me that we’ve met with several guys in the Grier/northwestern/auburn QBs tier so they don’t have to reach on one. We’ve met with like every 2nd rd safety and oline/dline prospect ha so that’s an indicator to me of where they want to go

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
