With the signing of Byrd, does this mean they are looking at defense for 2nd pick?

Not likely looking at Hopkins at this point($$), seem to be signing 2nd tier WR's.

Opinions on passing on a WR untill the later rounds.

i think after the QB, its mainly going to be BPA form edge, LB, CB, OLB, OL, TE, and RB....even toss in a PK/KR later rounds

 

Honestly look at the panther 2024 FAs, that tells you it needs to be BPA. Sanders, cj young...., burns, brown,(id say luvu, but hes a FA), maybe bell too, shaq is retiring soon too. Panthers need to focus on BPA.

I don't think the signing of Byrd changes much. Shi has been an unreliable receiver and his spot on this team is by no means guaranteed. Byrd also offers skill at the PR/KR position so he could be filling that WR4/5/6 spot with primary focus as a return guy. Either way, we still need a WR1 and if one is sitting there at 39, that could very well be the pick.

I think they will go edge with the second round pick, but they could draft OL for a starting G (TCU kid) or CB. When you consider that,  for the most part, the days 1 and 2 picks have a chance to start or be key contributors, we'd be very lucky to get 2 players after QB.   I would say that WR is now less likely to be a day 2 pick--

Edge

G

CB

(that is how I see it)

I think all the WR signings in general has pushed edge rusher to top of our needs after QB in round 1. It's past time to help Burns out 

Any other positions are nice to have but not desperately needed like it Is for us to actually have a consistent pass rush

Aren't those positions also the early strength of the draft?

Fitterer is doing all the right moves this off season. Hopefully it pan out.

So much is going to depend on how players fall out of round 1. If a talent like Flowers, Hyatt or Addison is there at 39, I think you have to get him. We need a WR1/2 type to help our rookie QB that will be here on more than a 1 or 2 year deal.

You're right, we do need an edge rusher but I think this is also a deeper class for edge and CB both. Contributing IOL can be gotten in rounds 3-5 more easily than the other positions. Somebody projected in the 20s is going to fall, it happens every year. BPA in any of those 4 key areas would be a good choice. It just feels good to not have that level of desperation that's been here the past several years.

If a quality Edge is there we are going to have to consider it

We should seriously take the best football player there IMO.  Whichever that position might be

I have the felling #39 is getting traded. Fitt is going to want more draft picks and 39 is the most valuable asset the team has they can part with easily that allows them to pick up more picks in this draft.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
