I'm not sure how many OL we need out of the draft.  The fact that Fitt said Campen came in and said he wish he could've seen more of Brady at LT (as we all screamed for all season), and his conviction that he can play there, paired with the still unknown commodity but encouraging signs shown by Deonte Brown, and I'm not sure...  I wouldn't be mad of we loaded up on it, but if BC and Brown are starters, we just need maybe 1 starting OL and depth.  Perhaps a LT and shift BC to guard.  I think BC can be a great LT, but I think if we could get a franchise guy there, he could be an all-pro-type guard.

All that being said, ideally, I would like us to trade back, draft Willis, sign Cam back to mentor him, then draft another OLineman with the other pick we pick up in trading back.

Also wouldn't mind seeing us pick up a legit safety to pair with Chinn.

 

Dunbass Rhule drafted a LT and a LG last draft and has been trying to play them anywhere but those positions.

Looking into my crystal ball.

 

Matt Rhule will need three starters out of this draft to have a chance at saving his job.

Therefore...

a) A QB won't be selected.

b) At least one trade down is likely.

Unfortunately, the 6th pick this year isn't as valuable as other years thanks to a weaker draft class.

The Panthers will end up with two late first round picks and one late second round pick. They also might pick up a third round pick and have a well rounded draft. 

Im tellling you right now, it might be all offensive line. 

 

First of all, the draft class is weak at QB but from what I've read it is a pretty strong class for offensive linemen, which is our greatest weakness.  Though a weak class overall sitting at 6 there will be a couple of elite players left and the possibility for someone to trade down with.  This is my hope.

Secondly, I don't see how we will get three starters out of this draft unless we somehow pull off a trade for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I think if we trade down we might get a 1st and a 2nd or 3rd but not both.   Our next pick isn't until the 4th round and this round starts where you are drafting potential more than starter material.  While it is highly possible to get a starter in round four, it's not likely.

I think our best hope is that we find a solid starter in free agency and nail the two picks we pick up in a trade.    There would be our three starters.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      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.
