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.

      The Panthers keep making the same mistakes under new GM.

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      That offense last year was so predictable. I really don't know what the strategy was in the end. Did Frank not trust his qb? Did he not want the qb they selected? Did he not want a rookie at all? What the actual fug was the plan? He wasn't going to work on his qb's mechanics until year 2? What the actual fug is that kind of development? I have never seen a team go so sideways as this team did last year. I mean they weren't winning much anyway because the rest of the team was ass but damn! At least do something to show you give a damn.

      Powerful leg but the clip alluded to him missing a chip shot. They might have a new kicker but let's see how he does in preseason.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      My perception/opinion of the draft based on a few categories.  Solid draft in my opinion.  Addressing need with perceived roster upgrade:  A Got WR the team desperately needed, a solid pass catching RB and upgraded TE and LB positions with what could be contributors.  Value of players drafted: B- My non-expert ignorant opinion on Legette is he was a bit of a reach.  Full disclosure though, I thought Adonai Mitchell and Jackson Powers Johnson were solid first rounders and a lot of GM's and scouts disagreed.    Brooks being hurt is a question mark/flag for me.  Draft savvy:  A+ Moving up to first for the 5th year option was a smart move with little to no downside.  After that Morgan basically stole a 2nd round pick next year and still got his guy in the process.  Also seems to have kept consistency with that "dawg" mentality the FO has been pushing.
