2020 NFL Draft

So, I love the draft and all the scouting/analysis that goes into it but I'm absolutely floored regarding what the "experts" are saying about our beloved Panthers. Maybe I'm missing something but a lot of them keep picking a Wide Receiver for the Panthers in the first round. CBS has us taking a corner (something I wouldn't love or hate) which would be nice to slide Jackson into the slot and have Bradberry and a first round talent as your bookends of the secondary. Another site has us taking a DT.

My question is this, if we're picking around 16th (current projection) who do you take or at the very least what position should be addressed?

I think OL has to be our top priority, followed by Safety, and then DL or WR. While we haven't been making splashes in Free Agency, I would like to see us address WR through the FA route instead of taking another one early in the 2020 draft. The only wide receiver that I think is a first round quality without any doubts is Jerry Jeudy (yet another talent from the Turds of Tuscaloosa). He looks better than Calvin Ridley coming out of college.

If there's anyway we could use our first round pick on a OL and trade up to get Derrick Brown for a DT we'd be sitting pretty.

You find your top needs and draft BPA out of that group 

What would you say our needs are then?

We need a wide receiver to go along with Moore. Samuel isnt the answer. He can be a 3rd option at best but nothing more. Give me Ceedee Lamb.

I like Ceedee Lamb as well but more important than OL?

Right now its early 

How is Little going to come back.  If Daley keeps improving, im not as worried about drafting a OL early.

WR isnt as big a need, Chuck just loves throwing out WRs.  He was all aboard freaking out about N'keal Harry this past draft.

 

IMO, mine in order

S, CB, DL

FS has always been a major weakness and to the point that we had to grab Tre Boston from the radio booth at WFNZ during camp just to start.

Obviously Delpit at LSU would be awesome but he will go early.  The guy im watching now is Xavier McKinney, the Bama safety.  VERY VERY similar to Minkah Fitzpatrick except a hard hitter and possibly better athlete.  Can come down and cover the slot too.

 

CB, Bradberry isnt locked down yet.  DJax has his big flashes but same time has shown big whiffs.  Very inconsistent.  Plus with the way the NFL is moving to a more passing league.  You need more than 2 good CBs.  Also this CB is looking to be shaping out to be stacked.

 

DL, McCoy is a FA, Butler too. Poe will be going into the last year of his contract.  And KK coming off shoulder surgery

Sadly it also depends on how Cam plays coming back from injury

As mentioned above gotta see if Little is able to that guy going forward. Imagine Darryl is gone this year so I wouldn't mind guard if it's not a reach. If Ron's still here safety is a pipe dream. WR2 would be fine with me if someone drops but again don't want to reach. Would love cheap DT/DE. I def think BPA is the way to go however

Depending on how Cam looks if he comes back and if not how Kyle plays I’ll still be looking hard at QBs. Wouldn’t definitely take one early but if there’s someone there with the potential of a Watson or Mahomes that we like (neither were top 9 picks) then I’d be all for that and even would trade up for one if we think he could be like a Mahomes.

It's not a great draft for IOL. @ncfan is right-get safety, so long overdue. Of course what we want and what we get may be two different things.

 @Zeek I'm gonna disagree  WR could be a big consideration. Let's be truthful. Take away CMC and where is our red zone threat, especially at WR? Olsen may be almost done. Samuel and Moore have 1 TD each 5 games in. For a #1 and #2 that doesn't impress me at all. I don't think either are technicians they are both athletes who do the damage after the catch. I'd love to see a guy who could actually beat people on routes or make contested catches  It's a strong WR draft upcoming.

We just took a QB with a top 100 pick

We aren't drafting a QB .....before round 5.

Unless, Rivera and Hurney both get fired. 

I do think we need to address free safety, once and for all ... we could do so much better than Boston. 

Either way it's gotta be BPA. Maybe the stars align. But that's just me.

      2025 season

      By spydaman27 · Posted

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.
