What round would you target a DE and has any names piqued your interest. 

I've not researched any. That's for the professional scouts. I just know what they've being trying isn't working and it's because of the light ass players they've been drafting.  They've targeted fast players on defense and all are weak in both the run and the pass. Too much focus has been put on speed and not enough on strength and ability.

They better not get another tweener DE.  I'm tiired of the hybrid crap we've been running unsuccessfully for years. Get real DE's and DT's and stop this tweener horseshit.

I'd say it's at least possible they go full on 3-4.

Probably depends on who the DC is.

I believe that was Phil Snows MO. Light backers to run his 3-3 stack, hybrid nickel Big Nickel, Little nickel. The DE’s, Will, or Sam backers can play zone coverage, which sucks in run support.

Meaning something other than your tinfoil hat / uninformed speculation.

I'd start with the annual agent survey that The Athletic does where they rate GMs and personnel people on things like football knowledge and trustworthiness. Fitterer and Morgan have both been discussed in the most recent few of those.

There's also plenty to find in recent articles centered around the hiring of Frank Reich.

He was trying to build a hybrid defense that he could use for multiple fronts and against any offense they went up against.  The problem is you cannot have 30 players on defense to rotate in and out like in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
