Carolina 2024 draft needs

[Buckeye Homer]

What do you guys think of this?  From a distance it seems to me that OL is your top need, but I haven't watched Carolina closely.

we need to help our rookie qb out as much as possible. not having a 1st rd pick hurts. fortuantley, we have a lot of cap space opening up. unfortunately, we have a guy in charge who likes to give average rbs 30 million dollars so we're fuged.

Offense-Too early to tell besides WR.  Corbett will be back and maybe by end of year Zavala looks better. Mays is still there for depth and hope he improves. BC for swing tackle. 
 

Defense- who knows on defense besides corner depth. Does Williams return? Does Tuttle get better or move to end to replace him? Is Luvu coming back? Are we paying Burns?

I’m intrigued by prospects but probably leave my mock drafts alone until December.

I'm looking at QB's and OL only. We need to take a chance on another QB and need to a homerun on the OL.

WR most definitely. Another RB or TE can’t hurt either but only if it’s a late rounder. On defense, another CB and more depth is needed for the annual Jaycee Horn-2-IR saga and the potential losses of DJax and Henderson. We have a lot of holes to fill.

I think the way DJax contract is set up he will be here next year. Also Shaq’s cap hit is for 6 next year. Not going to get a better LB or locker room guy for that price I feel. TE they can save 3 mil by cutting Thomas

Xavier Legette in the second please.

EDGE, CB, WR, DL, and LB I imagine are "definites" outside of free agency moves of course

Wouldn't be surprised to see an RB either.

I’ve wanted Eichenburg forever. To be able to actually get him would be awesome.

 

Edge is going to be our biggest need once we trade Burns to move into the 1st round but I’m not worried about it if it avoids over paying him.

DL is a glaring need. Outside of Derrick Brown and occasionally Deshawn William our DL is non existent.

DEPTH at CB is a big deal too between Horn and Jackson going down 8 games at a time.

I wouldn't use a high pick on him.  Incidentally, his grade against Notre Dame was awful.

Priority is to build around Bryce. WR will be a priority in FA and the draft. OL needs to be improved as well. Take a RB late. Defense will be upgraded, but offense is the first order of business. There are still some good young pieces on defense, but it doesn’t matter if the offense doesn’t improve.

Trade Bryce and see if you can get back in the first and fix this sh*t
