It's still WR. Mingo is a rookie, Theilein is over the hill, and DJ Chark is often injured. It could get real ugly in that department, real fast.

I got dogpiled on twitter for suggesting this. People soon forget how having questions marks all over a position group is a negative and not a positive. The FO did as good a job as they could do, but we need one star on the WR corps at least and all we have is question marks. D hopkins can still be had.

I think folks are underestimating TMJ.  He’s fast, runs great routes, and can high point the ball.  He closed the season out well, despite terrible offensive coaching.  He could easily be our #1

WR and DL

Wide receiver group has so many questions, a TMJ/Mingo breakout could be huge but obviously not counting on it.

We're thin at EDGE outside 53, and even our iDL. I remain adamant we overrate 95 because of his draft positioning, I just am not seeing a player that's making a difference on every game. How many times did we say his name after the TNF game last year? I may catch some heat here but I think it's a big year for him and I'm far from being sold he's a second contract player for us. I've seen flashes, but year four and it's time to have a Pro Bowl caliber season.

Not sure why so many are worried about LB. Shaq is automatically a better LB than anyone Evero had in Den last year (and I'm far from a Shaq stan) and he got great play out of his LB's last year. Bell & Woods, should see Chinn playing more on the second level this year too. Want to see if Brandon Smith has a role this year.

I think maybe depth at CB...unless one of these undrafted rookies pans out.

Otherwise, I'm concerned about the front line on D. I like Tuttle and Brown. Not sure if Tuttle should be NT. Even if he is, I'm skeptical about Williams on the other side. I feel like we should try natural NT Bravion Roy in the middle, with Tuttle and Brown at DE. More balanced. 

But maybe we have another player in mind?

I think we're fine at TE. I like our LB Corp, especially if Chinn returns to a similar role as his rookie year.

I also like our WR group. All this chatter about needing a "number 1" receiver might be moot given Bryce Young's style.

Not to worry, Mingo is going to be a rookie man child beast I have a feeling. Josh Vann, the undrafted rookie will be a solid returner and also prove his worth as a receiver and that is just the rookies. I have a feeling that the guys we already have will gel together and WR will be filled with production and depth. Call me crazy but I feel this is going to be a ridiculous strength for us.

Not sure why everyone is saying LB. 
 

We will likely only have 2 on the field at a time in a 3-4 and it will be Luvu/Shaq. We also have Chinn in the box and Brandon Smith. ILB is fine. Edge is a concern on the anchor side. You have Burns, Haynes, Barno on the Buck side but only YGM and Johnson opposite of that.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
