TE this offseason

While ill argue that MLB is our biggest weakness and needs to be addressed this offseason.  

But TE needs to be addressed this offseason.  There are 2 STUDS in this upcoming draft that ill spare for another time closer to the draft.

 

But watching around the league then seeing us, its obvious.

 

Our redzone struggles arent because lack of CMC, lack of a Hammer RB like Tolbert, or a bull dozing QB like Cam.

 

We just dont have that giant reliable mismatch target.

 

Watching Kmet for the Bears snag that catch in the middle of the endzone over multiple defenders made me a little Jealous.

 

And even moving onto tonight.  The Chiefs, a big reason for their success, Kelce, has just been a complete mismatch with 2 redzone TDs in the 1st half. 

 

 

Now, dont get me wrong.  I hope Ian Thomas can find something and turn it around, but im jist not seeing it happen.  He is looking more and more of solid backup TE like a Ed Dickson.

If we go TE or MLB in round one I'll be super excited

Agreed

But not trying this into a early draft discussion.  But unless your going to get that top MLB.  The next guy wont be that much better than what youll be seeing in rd 2.  While you could get a game changer at TE where we will be drafting.

And again, how we go and address free agency could change all that too.

Moses i grasped a vibe, could fall back as far as 14.

The closer we are to 10 I’d like to go for Pitts and really set our offense up for long term success with Teddy, DJ, CMC, Robbie, Curtis and Pitts. We would have answers for everything you could do defensively in the red zone. The further back we are in the first the more I worry the talent at TE and LB drops off.

I want the offensive line solidified before anything else.

Mind you, I never get what I want, so...

To be honest, our OL has besn solid overall outside of the Bears game (who's been one if not the best front 7 in football this year)

 

Also to note, a bunch of of highly targeted draft/price OL doesnt mean success.  The Atlanta Falcons OL we faced last week has 5 former 1st rd picks on it.

If we want to be a playoff level team, we have to be able to handle defensive attacks like the Bears bring.

Outside of Moton, they're all pretty easily replaced, especially Paradis.

Okung is good, but for how long? We need a left tackle of the future there.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
