Panthers likely trading back in the first

For sure. But those expectations were set so low because of a real lack of talent on the roster. Last year's draft class is helping, but we could still use help at every level. We're still in a position where one guy's not going to be able to live up to his potential because there are too many weaknesses elsewhere. 

For instance, Derrick Brown played at or above what I thought his pass-rushing ceiling was going to be last year. But we had to drop eight guys in coverage so often that even when he beat his guy, there were too many blockers who could help on him. That's not getting fixed until we find at least a couple more solid coverage guys.

Bouye, Melvin, and Jackson (being healthy) should help some. Plus Chinn and Pride having more experience.

Melvin is going to be on his fourth team in four years, and this will be Bouye's third team in as many years. If they weren't helpful enough to stay on any of those teams, why do we think that they'll help that much here?

Because our secondary was that bad.. these guys are at least capable. I think Bouye will be solid. He had some injuries and was getting a big salary plus had a down year. He looked legit in Jacksonville as the number 2 CB just a couple years ago.

I hope you're right. I'd still say that the most likely outcome is that the secondary needs a major infusion of talent across multiple positions before we can maximize the young talent on the defensive line.

I have no idea what the future holds? Well check back in with me when I’m wrong about something. I’m not negative I’m a realist, if that real is negative then so be it. This team continues to make dumb ass decisions and this is coming from someone who spends a few thousand on PSLs every year so forgive me for getting my complaining out of the way. You will join me by midseason. Y’all always do. 

If you’re not happy sell them, I think there would be someone that would enjoy it more than you. I mean you complaining isn’t going to help, we’re fans that’s it!

Specifics from the presser: Fitterer says the Panthers have talked to at least five teams about trading back.

“We’re very open to trading back” were Fitterer’s words

It sounded like 16 would be about their limit, and there's WFT sitting at 15...

I have inside intel that says we are probably staying at 8 or moving back if we don't trade up.
