I'm just not sure what our depth chart even looks like at RB:

CMC, CAP, Bonnafon, Scarlett, Holyfield

That seems a little slim at the position considering the following: CAP never gets touches, Scarlett didn't play last night, Bonnafon is an unknown although he had a couple of flashes last night, Holyfield redeemed himself. If CMC (GOD FORBID) goes down we are in some trouble in my opinion at RB. 

Am I wrong in this? Maybe I'm missing something.

We will get JStew on the line

Our run game as a whole kinda stunk last night...but I liked Holyfield making some plays in the pass game. Especially since (according to the announcers at least) the coaches instructed him that his hands needed some work and so he took that criticism and stayed late every day catching passes from the JUGS machine...and it showed. That kind of work ethic and mentality makes me think he’ll only get better but it also means he might be an ideal candidate for the practice squad. Unfortunately he’ll probably always be hindered somewhat by his athleticism...he definitely looked faster than 4.78 out there but he will never be an incredibly speedy guy.

I've been saying it'll be CMC, Scarlett, Holyfield on the final roster at RB for a while.

The only thing from last night that made me have second thoughts on that was that I forgot that CAP can return kicks. That gives him some value over the other guys, but IIRC Scarlett might be able to do that too.

If so, there's no reason to keep CAP around. We don't really need a backup if CMC is healthy. We showed it with Anderson last year. If something happens to CMC, we may bring Bonnafon up or sign a JAG, but I feel comfortable at this point with Scarlett and Holyfield.

Can't be any worse than in 2014 when the Panthers were literally signing guys off the street to start at RB. Who remembers Chris Ogbonnaya?

I dont know what the hell you guys are watching but CAP was the best RB on the field for CAR last night. I have literally no idea where the CAP hate comes from. He showed good change of direction and finished runs. Caught a tough ball on a tipped pass too. I just dont get his criticism. Holyfield looked ok in spots....but he pretty much let Chicago back in the game. Yeah he had two tds and the last run was decent. But he only had 39 yards on 11 touches.

No hate towards CAP, I like him, he just doesn't get the touches I think all of us thinks he should get.  The coached just don't give him the ball for whatever reason.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
