We are one loss from tying our longest non-winning seasons. (09-12) and solidifying our spot at another top 10 pick.  Currently 8th.

The question is, what should be our primary target in the 2022 draft.  QB or LT?  I don't follow college football players as much as I do the teams, but it appears there are some really good offensive linemen available as well as some interesting QBs.

The problem is if we draft a QB than we are in the same boat as we were this year.  A really crappy line but, if we draft a LT than we don't have a QB to execute the offense.  The Darnold trade really kills the opportunity to get both in the first 2 rounds. 

I would probably take the top LT (ONLY LT) and run with Cam one more season hopefully finding a QB in 2023 or a later round QB that can be groomed.

If we Take an LT we need a QB other than Cam, because Cam just ain't it anymore. 

I mostly agree but other and trading for ANOTHER QB you are either going to have to ride with Cam or draft a 3rd rounder because our 2nd is gone. 

If you are going to draft a LT than get the best, use free agency to get top tier talent on the O-line and let Cam run the offense.   Focus on 2023 for a QB.  We'll have a full complement of draft picks to wheel and deal with.

LT, DE, QB. Depends on where the value falls. Top priority is QB, then LT, then DE with the 1st pick.

Without a great QB you can mark off winning the SB. Until we solve the QB problem we're basically spinning our wheels as far as winning championships is concerned. Had we tanked we would already have a great, but Rhule was convinced he needed to teach the Panthers players how to win in December. Yeah that happened.

The problem of our mediocre o-line has been making this fan base SICK. No one is buying tickets and this team is ass. The main culprit is the poop o-line and bad play calling. Brady is poop canned, and the worst o-linemen should be next.

A big DE who can hold up in the run and rush the passer at a high level, coupled with the return of Horn, would give us a dominant defense when rested.

There's always the Hurney factor to consider.

We know Rhule and Fitt are still learning on the job. Our only hope is that they have come to the conclusion that they need a great QB, not a p.o.s to craft into something.

I like the idea of a LT.  Honestly, Sam or PJ will do well with protection.  Cam will probably retire.  There's also QB's that can be picked up in free agency.

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
