If rotational guys like Haynes, and Miller who's returning from a ''high risk'' opt out along with Roy continue to provide valuable snaps this defense could be in for a surprising year, a true-center fielder as Chinn / Burris are more natural strong safeties, and another corner with good size, and some IDL depth we're set up pretty good heading into the draft.

Don't forget Carter did a good job at MLB last year as well when discussing depth. Haynes played well on limited snaps. I would love to see us go after a true FS (Xavier Woods maybe) and a veteran CB in FA.

Another CB, a S and a backup NT and we are in pretty good shape. Need to get all these guys in free agency and go total offense in the draft. 

Offense? LT, LG, RG and RB/WR- that kid from Memphis fits perfect. takes on the Samuel role and can fill in for CMC if he gets dinged up. 

Also need a starting TE, oh and a franchise QB.

The starting defense certainly looks more like an NFL starting defense with the current personnel, minus half the secondary.

The problems will be injuries, and FAs not playing up to expectations. There's not a lot of depth behind this group, and I think we're still a year away from having that "Panthers defense" we've grown accustom too. 

If we stay disciplined and don't give up too much chasing assists this off-season we could really find some answers on the OL and hopefully our next Franchise QB.

If that is or DL we are really small.  Fast but small.  Right now the only 2 real DT we have on the roster with any playing time is Brown and Roy.  But it's still early and CB is still a real need as well.

agree Fox and YGM at 3-4 END seems like trouble against the run. i do like the outside LB thing we have going on though.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.

      Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.

      I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
