Gentlemen, are me looking at the makings of a playoff roster....share your thoughts below.

Offense -

QB - Darnold / Walker / Grier / Stevens / TB to TBD

HB - CMC / Bonnafon / Smith / Cannon / Clark the UDFA from the workout

FB - N/A (Maybe the TE Colin Thompson as needed)

WR - DJ Moore / Anderson / David Moore / Kirkwood / Zylstra / Young projects

TE - Arnold / Thomas / Sullivan

OL - Erving / Elflein / Paradis / Miller / Moton -- Key Depth - Little / Daley / Scott

---------------------------------------------

Defense - 

DL - Brown / Gross-Matos / Fox / Roy -- Could see KK return, or a rookie addition

Offball LB - Shaq / Perryman / Carter Jr -- Luvu / Orr / Johnston as depth currently

EDGE - Burns / Reddick / Haynes / Miller  

CB - Jackson / Bouye / Melvin / Pride / ST Oliver III

S - Chinn / Burris / Franklin / Robinson - We have some unknown depth atm (Would not be surprised to see Boston back if the draft doesn't fall our way)

Good lord that O line is dreadful, they cant possibly think thats good enough. The whole left side needs to be retooled at the least. Im dead serious about first 2 picks on O line. Its really come to that. 

If we take an LT at 8 and he actually pans out from day 1 I think our line would be a strength. Paradis, Miller and Moton were all great last year. Elflein is a decent flyer, may be a bit of a weakness but if we can hit on a strong LT it shouldn't be a big deal at all. Of course, that's a BIG "if." Especially considering many of the notable LT busts in recent years.

Taking a different look at it, we have the same starters minus Okung that we had going into 2020 which was:

Okung-Daley-Paradis-Miller-Moton

I don't know if we really signed Elflein to start.  He has a similar contract to what Larsen had.  Daley was glass though so 100% agree on drafting multiple OLs.  Would like more of a sure thing at LG.  And of course a LT but the rest is not bad in my opinion.  They were ranked #18 last year fwiw.

I understand the optimism but im of the mindset that this is the draft we have been waiting on for strong improvement. I like what Moton and miller did which is why I said the left side needs retooled. LT is priority and i dont have much confidence in Elflein. I have heard bad reviews since we signed him, i want at least one guy who has All pro potential in the interior as it was a problem last year and would like to be better than 18th above all.

I think we go LT at #8 and Erving competes for starting LG. Scott actually was not a liability when he filled in at LT last year, so he may give Erving serious competition at LT backup. Paradis was much better last year than 2019, but he still wasn't great and is getting old, so I really hope we can hit on a center in this draft as well. If Elfein can get healthy (big IF), he could be Paradis' replacement in 2022.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
