Right now there are some glaring holes on our Roster. You can rank them how you'd like but I think we are all in Agreement our Top 5-6 needs are as follows:

1- QB, a franchise leader for next 10 years
2- DE, pass rusher opposite Burns
3- TE, route running pass catcher
4- MLB, leader and organizer
5- WR, depending on how TMJ progresses
6- DT, gap filling run stopper

---------------------------------------------

Obviously, you would like to draft people in all those slots and have them on rookie contracts for the next few years - but some picks will be misses and some position just might not have the best player fall to us in the draft and we will need to look for FAs to fill the holes. What position would you be alright with bringing in someone with NFL experience?

Free Agent QBs: (Orange = Key players I like)
Lamar, Brady, Baker, Darnold, Jimmy G., Danny Dimes, Geno

Free Agent DEs:
Ngakoue, Ebukam, DeMarcus Walker, Dre'Mont Jones, Zack Allen

Free Agent TEs:
Evan Engram, Dalton Shultz, Hayden Hurst, Austin Hooper, Mike Gesicki

Free Agent MLBs:
Lavonte David, Tremaine Edmunds, Denzel Perryman, Kwon Alexander

Free Agent WRs:
Parris Campbell, JuJu Smith-Shuster, Allen Lazard, Jakobi Meyers, Darius Slayton

Free Agent DTs:
Da'Ron Payne, Sheldon Rankins, Greg Gaines, Javon Hargrave, Shy Tuttle

IF Payne hits free agency he’s as good as gone to the Bears. Position of need. He’s young. They have like 140m in cap space after cuts next year. Their biggest need on defense. They’ll likely go after Hargrave too.

IF we lose out, 6th is the highest we will be, and if a couple teams have surprise wins, maybe 4th.

If we win some meaningless games, then maybe 12th to 16th range.

I have extreme doubts about the QB's everyone is raving about

If around 4, pray for Jalen Carter

If 15th, then the TE from Notre Dame.

You have to get value with your picks to get better

It’s been three years since the Carolina Panthers had anything like consistent production at the tight end position. Something that has  become an area of significant need.

Ian Thomas is never going to be what the Panthers hoped from a pass-catching standpoint. His blocking remains good, but the modern-day NFL requires much more.

Whether the likes of Tommy Tremble and Stephen Sullivan can emerge as legitimate No. 1 options in is debatable.

I would like to see the Panthers  seek a potential upgrade as a matter of urgency in free agency or the draft.

There are a number of intriguing options emerging from the college ranks next spring. But the Panthers might also examine the veteran pool of free agents despite their lack of financial firepower right now.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      I suppose it depends on what you mean as 'elite'. I typically mean someone that can play with lower level pieces around them and still win. There are very few of those.

      The running back situation....

      By frankw · Posted

      It would obviously be incredible if Brooks came back and just ran away with the job on his opportunities like Rico Dowdle did last year. But any Panthers fan that has been around the block knows better than to go ahead and make plans for that. Brooks has missed a ton of not just playing time but meaningful early career growth in a league that has increasingly devalued the position from an investment standpoint beyond one or two superstars. There's really not any comparison to look back on that lines up with the current iteration of the league at least not favorably. The key thing that this RB room has going for them is our investment in the OL. The highest paid OL in the league two years in a row paired with our staff should make it easier for just about any RB to get into open running lanes. But that is also anything but a given considering our OL was largely middle of the pack last year. In the end it might all be a moot point anyways if we again struggle to establish a viable passing attack.

      I don't have him making the team and I think same goes for the staff, but they are hopeful for a PS spot.    I mean of course I'd like 3 all-world at RB and every spot, just doesn't work that why. Panthers normally carry 3. dan always talk up Etienne, even called him a future star.....I think Brooks will be fine as a 2 with health pls.....  Chubba can carry a seasons load as lead dawg.    Its fine, I mean backup OGs or CB is much higher on my worry scale(Id even put QB room as worse than RB room too...)
