1. use 2nd rd pick on a big DE.

2.use 2nd and a later rd pick as well on big DE.

2. we have Everett Brown draft wr in rd 2

Using the rd 2 pick on a big DE would be on a player like Corey Wootton DE Northwestern / Jason Pierre-Paul DE South Florida / Greg Hardy DE Mississippi / Austen Lane DE Murray State / Alex Carrington DE Arkansas State ( you can specify which one you prefer in a post or provide an alternative selection) this would keep Everett Brown as the primary backup unless he can beat out the rookie draft pick but would be replacing Peppers with a big player.

the next option is a 2nd and a late rd pick would indicate that Everett Brown does not seem to be the future, along with the above players for the rd 2 pick later rd guys could be C.J. Wilson DE East Carolina / Clifton Geathers DE South Carolina /

option 3 indicates Everett Brown can step in and be the starter and we can address aDE in the later rds for depth only

I am very thankful for what Julius has done for the Panthers in his 8 years here, he's been the face of our defense for a long time but we can't pay 1 player $20 million. I think we have to start Everette Brown and Charles Johnson and re-sign Tyler Brayton. We will probably draft another DE in the 3rd round to play behind Brown but we have to use our 2nd round pick to draft a WR. I will hate watching Julius in another uniform but we have too many good players to give 1 player that much money. DeAngelo, Beason, Thomas Davis, Ryan Kalil and Matt Moore all deserve more money IMO.

Definitely do not draft a DE with 2nd round unless someone just incredible is left. We NEED a freaking WR. A young one that can learn from Smitty and help him out.

I think we have decent depth at DE right now. Plug in Brown/Johnson, try and get a veteran DE in free agency if possible and roll the dice. Having two very young DE's doesn't seem like a good plan for next year.

My only thinking about drafting a DE is that if we go (and STAY) with Moore, it might become a "rebuilding" year anyway....ugh. At that point, drafting a training a young DE might not be bad.

I thought we used our 2010 first round pick on a DE already? When you use a first round pick on someone, that person should be a starter by at least their 2nd season. Since we seem to have an opening with Peppers leaving, I think I see a spot for our 1st round pick.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
