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.

you mean objectively?

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.

      Things like this happen everyday. We live in a social media driven society where loyalty is a foreign concept.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
