Who's New in Black and Blue next year?

[KBRed]

I know there are a lot of draft threads already, but I am not the biggest college football fan, probably not until 2013 when the Charlotte 49ers get a team.

In saying that, I was very curious as to who might be available when we finally draft that you think the Panthers will pick up. Not really who you want, but who they might go after.

Obviously, there are needs, (QB, WR, DL, etc.), but what position and player might be available in the 2nd and 3rd rounds when the Panthers pick?

Realistically the best QB we would probably have a chance at is Tony Pike, but even that could get screwed up because Locker is waiting until '11 to enter the draft. I wouldn't argue against getting Pike if he is available, but if he goes, we should pick up a WR like Dezmon Briscoe or Mardy Gilyard in the second. Then, we could hit up Dan LeFevour in the 3rd. After that, I could see us picking up some OL depth and maybe some DL depth.

BPA all the way next year. At least then we'll be done with the whole losing our first round pick thing.

QB doesn't seem as dire as it would have been if Matt had came in an absolutely stunk it up, but an open QB competition (Excluding Jake) should definitely be in this teams future.

I agree as WR as the #2 issue we have to fix, but we also have to see how our current WR's should be utilized.. hell look at the saints, half of their offense is full of nobodies but they obviously have great position by position coaches on their staff, which leads to my next point.

Our coaching staff needs as serious a overhaul as ever.. At least on the Offensive side and especially the Special Teams.

Anyways to the topic, this should strictly be a BPA type draft like last years draft, especially since we seemingly don't have many flaws in any particular position except QB *which is debatable* WR, and our interior defensive line.

honestly i prediected that we were trading out 1st rounder away last year because of fox and hurney morgating the future. And I bet we do it again. They're feelin the heat and if they stay it only gets hotter.

I wouldn't mind drafting every single DT we can find.

Here is who will be FA or RFA.

James Anderson* OLB RFA Tender/ Let walk if another club matches or exceeds.

Tyler Brayton DE UFA Re-sign vet min

Thomas Davis* OLB RFA Tender / new contract

A.J. Feeley QB UFA Let walk

Jeff King* TE RFA Tender/ Match any offers

Louis Leonard DT RFA Tender/ Let walk if matched

Rhys Lloyd PK RFA Tender but make him fulltime kicker

Richard Marshall* CB RFA Tender/ Let walk if another club matches

Josh McCown QB UFA Keep until after training camp

Matt Moore QB RFA Tender / or sign a 3 year deal

Muhsin Muhammad WR UFA Let walk

Julius Peppers DE UFA Let walk

Quinton Teal S RFA Tender/ Let walk

Hollis Thomas DT UFA Sign vet mim

Tank Tyler DT RFA Tender /Let walk

Keydrick Vincent OG UFA Vet mim

Dante Wesley CB UFA let walk

C.J. Wilson CB RFA Tender / let walk

So with the possible Free Agents. I would go WR first need, CB second, DT Third and then QB. The way I see it I would get a WR from Free Agency and Draft the rest.

I cant believe anyone wouldnt look for another qb first after this season..

[Squirrel]

QB might seem like a big need but Im just looking at filling the roster. We are going to need a good WR reason to pick one off of FA. Cornerback is going to be need stregthening if Marshall walks. QB all we need is one person and if we draft one he wont start next year anyway. Locked in with Jake and with the way Moore is progressing we will only have one slot open for QB. So the question becomes (if we dont cut Jake). Do you want a veteran QB or a rookie?

[Hairless Cat]

I think Jake has seen his last playing day as a Panther.

if Fox is gone its assured.

I really hope so just so we can keep Moore, draft a QB and bring in a Veteran FA. With Jake here we would have to forgo a rookie QB.
