I choose OLB as the darkhorse this year...

After looking into the DT situation, i don't see us having room for one on the roster unless a really talented one falls and is too good to pass up.

I think I see them taking a WR if it's there, but i would bet that fox would rather draft blue chip defensive talent and sign a patchwork of FA to address WR.

When Peppers leaves we'll only have about two spots open for defensive end IF we keep 5 DE's, we did last year but we didn't have a logjam of decent players at DT either. So two spots are open maximum, we can't afford to replace peppers with an 09 everette brown.

If we somehow got two 2nd round picks I would bet some pie that we would go after a LB.

The LB's we have right now are adequate but we don't really have a trio of playmakers. Everybody loves the glory days of rucker, buckner, jenkins, and peppers. I really remember witherspoon, morgan, and fields (all coached by mills) even more fondly.

I think we'll definately go primarilu for a WR but I won't be suprised if we get an OLB.

Just my wacky prediction.

what we really need is dmo55 to tell us whats going to happen...

he hasn't posted in a while I hope his restaurant is doing well. There aren't any miami prospects this year but I like that guy from penn state. He's had a few injuries and character issues but he's a good football player.

I wouldn't mind trading up into the late 2nd to grab him along with a WR like gilyard(sp?)

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
