How much do we need to sign the remaining draft class and how much did Fitterer say they wanted to save for the season to pick up players as needed?

Not sure, but I am betting most all of that money is spoken for.

This is what leaves me to believe we won't pickup anyone else. I think our FO is content on who we have and the competition we have brought in in positions of need like Safety, Tackle, D-Line, Linebacker, WR3, Corner, etc.

I saw an early estimate for our rookie pool cap space at 4.5M.   That's before the extra draft picks were added.   So now it's maybe 6M ??

2021 rookie pool cap space estimates

This is where we'll see a change in approach with Fit+Rhule.

We won't be scurrying to sign voids in the roster after drafts as Hurney did.  They filled it prior to a comfort level so they could draft who they wanted.  I wouldn't expect much movement on the FA front.

Excellent take on this topic.  

I also don't see the Panthers adding much of anybody now (outside of an injury replacement).

I don't think we will  sign anyone to "fill holes" but has the offseason programs ramp up and the season gets closer they will be adjustments to the roster. Some people will be cut and others added. A free agent may still be brought in if the guys any of the guys we have aren't pulling their weight or has was previously mentioned, they are injuries.

We've already signed a veritable MASH unit in FA, might as well roll the dice on Malik Hooker. He's a way better option at FS than anyone currently on the roster. If he stays healthy, we get a significant upgrade. If he predictably gets hurt then we're no worse off than we were before. With his injury history he should come cheap.

Is the week 2 vet rule still a thing? Hooker might be waiting til that point if it is.

I agree with this. If we have a rash of TC injuries, that could change based on need but I don't think they are looking to add any 30+ year old guys unless they have no other choice.

I think we're trying to be as friendly as possible with our cap and wanting to let some of what's left be for emergency pickup's if injuries occur. Also to rollover what's left into next year. Next off-season could be one of the biggest. We will improve this year, but I think we next off-season's additions will leap us into contention (playoff contention, hold off on any super bowl talks)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
