Keep in mind no #1 and a good # of holes to fill. Right now the FO can NOT afford to have any serious whiffs in their picks.

Also, there are young guys that will get some PT and thats cool. But look at the guys they were backing up. They were backing up many guys that were either let go from their former team or not that great.

This draft may end up being the most important one in the franchise's history.

Ok...how would you prepare your team if you're heading into an uncapped year with the more than likely potential of a capped/rookie salary setup the next...or a lockout. Do you lock in a lot of large contracts? Or simply be frugal to prepare.

I don't know.

This is the biggest question. How do you bridge this year thru 2012

If it were me...I'd be frugal and stockpile picks. I'm talking Hershel Walker-esque trade (Smitty or DeAngelo).

*runs out of thread...fast*

I have had the very same thought. Hope not but they need to load up on value.

      Why would we not be contenders? As long as Bryce plays like he did when he came back, we absolutely can be contenders...that is...   if the defense plays better... which is why adding someone like Ramsey when we have a QB on a rookie deal and can afford it makes sense IMO. No one thought of the Commanders being contenders last year or the Texans the year before and so on and so forth. Top-end QB play, especially for a guy on a rookie deal, changes everything in terms of timelines. Regardless of what this board thinks, I hope the front office is willing to he aggressive in thks window we currently have with a rookie QB deal

      Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.

      He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
