maybe now we will have somebody back there that can cover a TE, or anybody for that matter, & is actually capable of making a tackle in the run game

Bingo!  That's his intended role in this defense when the rest of the pieces get sorted out.  Until then he's just whatever they need him to be on any given Sunday.

So we're moving Burris to FS. Pretty concerned there.

Rhule mentioned Robinson and Franklin not having a real offseason last year to learn the system. I could see Robinson win the FS spot, def more speed than Burris. Still think Chinn will cover TE's in certain packages and otherwise be on clean up duty

Does he have the speed to play FS? I assumed it would be more of a SS role.

He def has the speed. He is a 4.4 type. Earlier in the offseason it was mentioned by person that Chinn will be our FS. Which makes sense with his length and ability to read a play. 
 

If you think about all of the long runs that occurred on us last year. Chinn being the back guy would stop the play before it gets to next level.

Makes sense. I mean it’s a way to keep him and Burris/Franklin on the field at once. I guess we don’t have a true FS and he has the most speed of the SS group.

Did you see that somewhere?

If it was at the presser, I missed it.

It's either that or cut. Unless he's alright sitting behind Chinn at SS. Plus he's still probably the better option than the other guys on the team. I'm hoping Keith Taylor gets looks there. Or hopefully the new guy Hill we signed is healthy and can step up there. Don't have faith in Robinson after being cut last year then signed after injuries occurred.

Dude should have been a 1st round pick. Crazy we got him in the 2nd. 

The Eagles were were to take him before our pick (he was next up on their draft board) but Howie Roseman "went rogue" and took Jalen Hurts.

Chinn was a safety in college not a linebacker so he has played there his whole career except last year where we moved him to linebacker by necessity. He was great last year because he is insanely athletic and tough. But he is not a linebacker and won't last in that role. He is an athletic freak who is 6'3" weighs  220 and runs a 4.4.  Who better to give over the top protection against Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, Julio if he is still in Atlanta, and the rest.   I can't think of a better thing to cement the secondary than a huge free safety who likes contact, studies the game, and can run step for step with anyone and deliver a blow if you catch it.  Perryman is a huge upgrade at linebacker so Chinn can play further back in our base look.  Chinn can also fill in as a safety/ linebacker when they go to a nickel or dime look.

I think it is wise that the Panthers are preparing to move Chinn from linebacker to safety, a move that should extend his playing career as well as making that position stronger in regards to  coverage and tackling.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
