Josh Norris believes WR 3 is a big need this offseason

Thinks it’s a bigger need than LB or safety, goes on to explain that in Joe Brady offense you need 3 good WR.

Also find it interesting the panthers currently have the least amount of money invested in the O-line, in the entire league by a good margin.

This should be no surprise considering we only have 2 starters returning out of 5.

I’d say it a decent size need especially in Joe Brady’s offense.

 

over LB or FS though.  Not a Chance.

still a need though that I’d expect to draft at some point this draft, but more likely to target a rd 4-5 guy.

Not sure about 3rd biggest need but it is a need.

We do not know how much Anderson will demand for 2022+. But DJ Moore 5th year option would be 11+ for 2022 and franchise tag in 2023 would be 17+ million.

In the 2020 draft there were a bunch of wr in the middle and late rounds that showed promise and could breakout this season. So I would be willing to use 2 picks on that position if the right players are available. Either 4-5 round pick and one of the 6 picks.

 

Snap count 2020

DJ Moore 81%

Robbie Andersson 78%

Curtis Samuel 64%

Cooper 14%

Zylstra 12%

Roberts 9%

Kirkwood 3%

CMC would take some snaps away when healthy, Samuel is obsolete when CMC returns anyway.

CMC can't replace a #3 WR but he can make that loss less impactful. Namely because CMC isn't capable of being a deep threat WR.

Hopefully we are able to sign or draft a guy that can provide that extra weapon that Samuel was.

I don’t agree with that take at all. An average MLB gets us two more wins last year and our line is, and was, non existent.

I’d throw a couple pennies at Kenny Stills for depth. Should be super cheap depth since he wasn’t even active last year. He is what he is at this point but he has some speed and, like DJ, can play inside and out.
 

Also he has some rapport with Watson so that would be a plus. 😉

QB and LT are still the biggest needs. I’m sure will sign a vet WR or draft someone like Rogers from Clemson in the middle rounds. You (likely) won’t find a capable QB or LT in the middle rounds.

In my opinion. 1. QB 2. LT 3. MLB

any other suggestions to me are laughable. It’s these by a mile, everything else isn’t close

    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
