Projecting the starting and rotation lineup this year. How's it rank?

DJax will probably play outside. He ended off the season really hot outside and does pretty well against WRs that match his height weight combo. 

I have no idea what we're gonna do at SS but out of all positions to be completely lost at SS is probably the least damning. 

Can see us bringing in a veteran LT or watching cuts closely for competition. Maybe even a trade.

Losing Teddy means we lost any semblance of a competent backup and that worries me.

Not the worst group of problems to have tbh

I have to admit I'm much more excited for this season than I was a couple days ago when we passed on Fields.  The roster has a lot more talent than many Panthers teams I've watched.  Darnold only needs to be a bit better than teddy and this team has a chance to be competing for a wild card spot IMO.  If he actually takes major positive steps the offense will be real fun to watch.

Just having a healthy CMC all year last year would have probably added another couple wins to our record. This offense has crazy potential. Darnold needs to just eliminate his mistakes. We have 5 WRs that can take it to the house on any given play and the best RB in the league when healthy.

Free agency and draft are in the book. Let's see how we stack up. Based on our very incomplete depth chart, here's how I'm guessing we stack up going into the season.

F8B36910-FD72-4A16-9B60-05A2C3EB9713.jpeg

 

3WR1TE formation shown here with extra positions added to reflect heavier package and reflection on defense. These positions will cover ~85% of snaps in the NFL.

Assumptions: Anderson plays a lot of slot, Chuba is RB2, Christensen wins a starting gig (his competition is greg little lol) and boat sized kid from alabama won't start quite yet.

On defense we see Pride out wide, kicking Jackson to nickel in 3WR packages (half of Snow's snaps) and probably CB2 on 2WR sets. Horn gets thrown into the fire. LB additions kick Chinn back to safety full time as the position is trash and having him and Reddick on the field at the same time is awesome.

Overall weaknesses: CB2, FS, LT, QB

Are we done in free agency? I'd love to see us add a safety and a corner. Ride or die on the ginger cringer. Maybe grab a veteran cut at tackle out of camp.

 

Overall I think this is the best team (outside QB) we've fielded at the beginning of a season since 2017. Given the question mark at QB I'll take it.

 

I hope we aren't paying Potted Plant too much sounds like he won't be much of a help to our defense. 

🤣

Think David Moore will start WR3 but Marshall will have it before the end of the season. I think Pride would play nickel before Jackson. He would be good but Pride would struggle on the sidelines. Also think Elfein is more of a back up center/back up guard don’t think he’s gonna hold a starting spot.

I think Marshall is the instant wr3. He’s already familiar with Brady’s system which is a huge thing for a rookie and he’s insanely more talented.

And to add I think we’re gonna see DJ lined up in the slot more which is gonna be crazy.

    • https://www.profootballnetwork.com/latest-2024-nfl-draft-rumors-eagles-wr-buzz-michael-penix-jr-soaring-titans-caplan/ Cincinnati Bengals Multiple teams interested in veteran WR Tyler Boyd told PFN that the indication that they’ve received is that he plans to make his decision on where he plans to sign for the 2024 season after the draft. The feeling is, as a source with one of the teams said, is that he wants to see what teams do in the draft before going forward. Boyd, who is clearly the top slot receiver available on the open market, was looking for at least $9 million per year at one point earlier this offseason, another source said. The veteran pass catcher signed a four-year extension in July 2019 worth $43 million ($10.75 million per season), which expired in March. Houston Texans The Houston Texans looked into the potential of acquiring veteran WR Stefon Diggs, which went down on April 3, well before then, a league source with knowledge of the situation told us. The source indicated that the team was looking into his background and potential fit with them at least three to four weeks before the trade with the Buffalo Bills was completed. That would indicate that it wasn’t just the Bills who were looking to move him. As the source explained, the Texans felt that they wanted to build on last year’s surprising success to make another run in the playoffs.   Philadelphia Eagles There’s been surprising buzz around the Philadelphia Eagles and the wide receiver position.
As a coaching source who has worked with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in the past told us this week, his base offense, when he has enough players at the position, is 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR). Behind the two starters at wide receiver (A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith) are two veterans on one-year deals (DeVante Parker and Parris Campbell) who have had their share of injuries over the years. Tennessee Titans Multiple league sources strongly believe LT Joe Alt, if he falls to them at No. 7 overall, will be the selection at that spot. The feeling here is that by selecting Alt, who our sources say is the “safest” left tackle for the 2024 NFL Draft, would help solidify the left side of the Titans’ offensive line with Peter Skoronski entrenched at LG. If Tennessee is able to secure Alt, that would enable the coaches to move third-year OT Nicholas Petit-Frere to RT to compete for the starting job there. Defensively, a source with knowledge of the scheme says Tennessee’s expected to run a 3-4 front with new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. However, his scheme has some differences from former head coach Mike Vrabel’s version of the 3-4, which has its roots from the New England Patriots. Washington Commanders With a whopping six picks available within the top 100 selections (one first, two seconds, three thirds), some teams have told us they expect the Commanders to explore the possibility of packaging some draft assets to trade up for a higher-graded player to address needs on both sides of the ball (OL, DE, CB).   Latest Buzz on Top NFL Draft Prospects Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington There’s been a lot of talk in the scouting world lately that, despite his injury history, Michael Penix Jr. will wind up being a first-round pick. Penix, known in coaching and scouting circles as possessing the best deep arm of all the QBs projected to go off the board within the first few rounds, has shown the ability to process information well based on the game tape from the past few seasons. Some teams feel that there will be at least a few teams looking to replace their veteran signal-callers over the next few seasons and will look into either trading up from Round 2 or trading down in the first in order to select him later where he would be seen as a better value. Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas There has seemed to be a lot of buzz surrounding Adonai Mitchell in recent weeks, and as one scouting source said, it’s because of his size, speed, and talent. While he’s seen as a “late bloomer” and didn’t have huge numbers in college, Mitchell is still projected to go off the board late first/early second round due to upside and how he projects to be a starter at some point within the first few seasons at the next level.   Jalyx Hunt, EDGE, Houston Christian If you’re looking for a player who could go off the board much higher than first thought, it could be this guy. Jalyx Hunt started his collegiate football career off at Cornell as a safety but would eventually transition to edge rusher at Houston Christian due in part to a late growth spurt.
    • the Carolina Panthers will trade their 2025 1st for a 2nd round pick this year in your name Mr Scot
