Can we have a synopsis of the synopsis?

 

25 prospects, all good ones at positions we need, but not one OT.  We'll see if the new GM wants to pay Moton, but there have no encouraging signs we want to set the market for RT.  Our LT is a free agent,  injured more often than not, and old.

We are going to have to address OT this offseason, because it looks like we'll need 2 new starters.

Well, they have all the usual suspects and it appears day two and three prospects as well.

It looks like they see the value of acquiring a more suitable TE, freeing Chinn & Burns up to do what they do, and upgrading key areas, including the defensive backfield. Of course there's a little something for everyone (unless you want an RB or WR)!

The click is certainly worth it!

Leatherwood and Sewell are both there.

Sewell means we don't get a QB, and I don't think I can take another year without at least a developmental guy.  I suppose the Bengals could trade back to a QB hungry team, and we could get him, but that means another year or two of Teddy.

from the article about Leatherwood.

"Leatherwood also has excellent footwork which translates to smooth kick-slides and strong ability to stay in front of defenders. Quickness and hand placement are not his strong suits though, which is why we believe Leatherwood will be playing guard at the next level."

Well, my guy's name is stop the package of Nekots.

"Lance has a unique blend of size, arm strength, mobility, and accuracy..."

 

"Lance has all the tools in the world to become a top dual-threat quarterback in the NFL with his cannon of an arm and exceptional athleticism to fit into any scheme."

 

And that is why I want Lance!

Basically:

Round 1 (In this order)

  • Fields
  • Wilson
  • Lance

Round 2:

No Left tackle mentioned--

 

Right. Wish they'd done something on Eichenberg, Darrisaw, Jackson. Others have said this OT class is thin, but every scout I've read says the opposite. I guess we'll see.

I think if it's Sewell you see the Panthers make a move on someone like Stafford. 

From what Tepper has said, I don't think we see BW as the starter going into next season.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
