Looking Back to Predict the Future

Carolina's 2020 Draft, was all defense.  Every single pick.  I am sure this was not Hurneys idea.  I believe Rhule had a plan to try and fix 1 side of the ball with that draft.  They will do the same or close to the same this year.  With the exception of maybe a cb, look for Carolina to go all in on offense or Joe Brady will start trying on different team hats to see how they look.

Don't be surprised if they draft CB, S, IDL, and LB in this draft, along with a couple of OL.

Ehh, does the offense really need fixing like the D did last year? I don't think so. Main pieces we're missing are LT and QB (obviously hugely important pieces) but those aren't positions you just force in the draft, especially after the Darnold trade too. I think it'll be a decent mix this year, it still makes sense to bolster the D in my view.

Last year Rhule and Co. selected starters with their first three picks. I don't believe last year was an aberration. I think this team puts in the work pre-draft and will get value with all of their picks. I'm interested at who they'd invest in at 8, but also what they might be able to get with a trade down and more picks. I think if they trade down it's for picks this year vs. trying to recoup the ones they've committed next year, time value of money(picks) and all.

We can bolster the line in the first 2 rounds.  Go LT 1rst, then hopefully a 2nd tier guy is there in the second (Humprhies, Jenkins, whoever) and put him at guard.  You can completely fix the line if you get a center in the 3rd or 4rth.  Boom, done.

    • Adonai Mitchell has potential for sure, but from what I've gathered he isn't as physical as you'd think for his size, and like some of the others (including even Coleman), he can be rerouted by physical corners who press him. 
    • I think this is what got me thinking about it. When you have the worst record in football, you have problems on all fronts. The obvious first step in correcting that is changing out coaching staff. Defense was far from perfect, but it was also far from the biggest issue. I think we made corrections there where needed. Then comes the personnel. It's not just improvements in talent that is needed, but you want a fresh start on the identity. You keep too much of the losing team, you risk keeping the same losing mind  may have contributed to it. You need major upheaval and turnover. I still remember not having a great team when hurney was around when they bragged about keeping 20 of 22 starters or whatever it was. I think I was just surprised seeing just how drastic and massive it was in one snapshot. I've been watching it all happen, but spread out over a couple weeks it didn't strike me how big it really was.
    • Rods got them practicing again before they fly up to Canada. Hopefully he’ll do a Monday lite and a Wednesday practice while the boys have the 4 day break. We got Boston twice, the blues and Caps once, the other 4 remaining games are teams not making the playoffs but looking to play spoiler. We also end the season with a 4 game road stretch.    We have 1 more back to back after the 4 day break and we also have a 2 day break between bruins game 2 and the blues during our last 4 road stretch.    Rags have 4-5 games against wildcard hopefuls left but no more for sure playoff teams.
