For anyone wondering who I think the Panthers are going to take at QB, it's Bryce Young. CJ might not even go in the first couple of picks imo. I like CJ, but I just have a feeling teams are not as high on him.

Felix to OLB, Pickens to DE. Noah backs up the ILBs. Kuntz gives us another option at TE in case of injury. CJ Henderson will play CB2 until Jackson returns in week 3 or so.

Felix to OLB, Noah ILB. No DE taken so that offensive weapons can be added.

Unrealistic alert. Felix to OLB. Simpson to replace Luvu at ILB. DJ to CB#2. Ika to NT, Brown moves to DE. Roy to DE or backup. That defense...

CBs Horn, Turner, Jackson, Henderson. Chinn can play nickel. Filthy lineup.

ROLB - Burns/Barno

LOLB - Felix/YGM

RILB - Shaq/Luvu

LILB - Simpson/Chinn/Luvu

I would love this lineup for our LBs, and beef up front with Ika, Brown, Tuttle, Williams, Roy and others.

It looks like to me there are a lot of defensive players in this draft who could help us transition to the 3-4 very well, but not a lot of players who would impact our offense that much.

Bringing in a #1 TE, keeping Ian as #2 TE, and veteran WRs on the roster who are expected to start, and a very weak WR draft class, and no picks in the first outside of a QB selection, and the second round onward with no #1 WR prospects, and an already built o-line, the picture is pretty clear now.

It's looking highly likely that we will use this draft to transition our defense to the 3-4. Chark will have to be our #1 WR, Marshall #2, and slot will be Thielen. We are not using the 39th pick to upgrade Thielen in the slot. That makes no sense. Thielen is here to start, and he is backed up by Shi Smith.

This is going to be a defensive draft unless an offensive weapon falls a long way and into our lap.

What about the o-line? I do think we should take a guy who is a tweener like Brady Christensen again. A guy who can play OG/OT, that way we are covered better depth-wise. Brady was a great pick because if Moton goes down (he was hurting most of last season and couldn't play as well as in the past) then Brady can go out to RT, and we plug in a backup guard, like another tweener draft pick.
