Newer+Current players are listed below with a pretty glaring hole on the DL and secondary with a potential boost needed at LB.  The draft strategy has actualized with a huge hole at CB and NT in particular. 

Offense

QB) Teddy Bridgewater | PJ Walker

RB) CMC |Bonnafon |Scarlett

WR) Moore | Anderson | Samuel | Roberts | Cooper

TE) DeValve | Thomas

OL) Okung-Daley-Paradis-Miller-Moton

Defense

DL) Weatherly-Short-??-Burns (+Added rotation?)

EDGE/Hybrid front) Miller, Haynes

LB) Carter Jr.-Shaq-Whitehead

CB) ???-Jackson-Luke

S) Boston-Burris

Sooo I think our Round 1 is pretty clear if we're sticking at #7:

1. Jerry Okudah | 2A/B. Isaiah Simmons/Derrick Brown

 

And we're obviously targeting James Lynch (DL) and maybe Matt Hennessy (C) at some point.  Lynch was Rhule's first visit.  They're super tight, he led Snow's defense.  Let's just put that as a for sure in the 3rd/4th round.  

 

But Round 2? We're looking at a wider net, but still likely defense.  Some names:

CB: Jeff Gladney, CJ Henderson

DE: Yetur Green-Matos

DT: Justin Madibuike, Ross Blacklock, Neville Gallimore

LB: Patrick Queen, Ken Murray,

WR: Denzel Mims, Van Jefferson, Tee Higgins

S: Grant Delpit

 

Who jumps out in the Round 2 club?  I would personally love a Brown/Simmons + Jeff Gladney combo platter.  Green-Matos could be interesting if available. 

So questions I pose:

1. Who's your favorite WR prospect beyond Round 2?  Talking guys like AGG, Michael Pittman, Tyler Johnson, Claypool, etc.

2. Any defenders that look too good to pass up if available Round 2?  Favorite 2nd rounder prospects?

Nothing is clear.

Marty will draft the BPA with number 7.

thats of course how the Panthers rank the players, not Mel Kiper and definitely not the huddle.

im calling Andrew Thomas... but hope we jump up for Tua,.. although if it ends up being Derrick Brown I won’t cry,.. it just means he’s the BPA.

what I really hope is if we can’t get Tua that we drop back....

If you think it's a QB or LT you're going to be very dissapointed.  We may not even pick an OT in this entire draft.  Brace yourself.

I don’t see QB or LT either. If anything we trade down with a team looking for Tua or Thomas at that spot. Otherwise, it’s BPA between Brown, Simmons or Okudah. My money is on Simmons.

Looking at this; the roster seems like it's not filling out too badly.

I know the departures of Cam, Luke and Greg have been disappointing but I like the way our offseason has been shaping up. Our needs are being adequately addressed in FA especially depth on offense. It’s putting us in  a great position for the upcoming draft.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
