It is time to re-sign Ross Cockrell now

Unless for some reason he doesn’t want to come back to the Panthers, the hometown CB Ross Cockrell needs to be re-signed immediately. Corner depth is still terrible after the draft and Cockrell played well at times last year. With an improved defensive line next season, he could perform well in this new defense.

Get on the phone Marty!!

It's almost like....the Panthers were waiting to see how the draft and UDFA unfolded before shelling out more money than necessary to aging CBs

I like Cockrell though, I'd be happy with a 1-2 year deal for him

Nope. You put all these guys on the field and get them as much experience and growth as possible.

everyone was so gungho on “out with the old”, but now there’s a lot of butt hurt. This is what “in with the new” looks like.

reap the whirlwind Sheriff Brady,.. reap it!

Who is better than Cockrell still out there for a modest contract? Serious question 

I want the younger guys to play, but if there not ready we need a backup plan. And forget the record, you don't want to destroy their confidence by putting them out there if they're not ready

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
