Thank God. I've been saying we need to sign the best OG we can and move Brady Christensen to the bench. He'd be great depth as a solid player who can play guard or tackle on either side of the OL.

LT: Ickey, Christensen
LG: FA, Christensen
OC: Bozeman (Jackson Powers-Johnson would be GREAT here...)
RG: Corbett, Christensen
RT: Moton, Christensen

Adding Onwenu at LG and drafting JPJ as center is my dream scenario. I think JPJ will be long gone by our pick, but after that WR showing maybe, just maybe there is a chance…

You'd seriously have to offer me 20% more than the competition for me to sign a contract with the Panthers as an in-demand FA.

This franchise is a dumpster fire until proven otherwise. 

We are definitely going to run into many players that are just simply not interested in playing here.

Kevin Dotson makes a lot of sense and would fit well if we’re carrying over some of the Carrol/Waldron system.

Would love Dotson here. Another guy Canales/Idzik have familiarity with and would be cheaper is Damien Lewis. Not advocating for pinching pennies for protecting our franchise QB1, but Lewis is still a solid G with position flexibility.

Draft Frazier/Van Pran/Bortolini/Nourzad for C and we are cooking.

we need to draft 2 WRs and 2 OL in this year's draft.  The talent is overwhelming.  BC to swing T--he is perfect for that.  I changed my tune based on watching the combine this morning.  Wow--the Center group is strong, the G group is very strong.  OT?  not as strong.  60 something combine invitees.

I get what you are saying due to the depth but we have an insane amount of roster needs and are are in a full rebuild. It should be BPA all the way. We need talent, plain and simple. If it lines up with our immediate needs, even better.

That's too often how we have historically done so poorly, pressed for a need when those positions had been picked over already. 

BPA all the way.

My mouth does not always follow my mocking.  I find myself going BPA when I mock.  Man, the OL, WR, and CB groups look strong.

We need to be doing that, plain and simple. There is no position on this team that isn't a season or so away from a new starter due to age or potential free agency. 

We have some talent here but a lot of it was gathered in free agency on deals that were not long. The roster needs a concerted 5-7 year effort of doing better than average in the NFL Draft to start moving in a positive direction for a stable future. 

I don’t think most people completely understand how badly our roster has been mismanaged over the past decade. We have the smallest pool of team drafted talent in the entire NFL.

there's this part of me that isn't really loving the CBs, mainly because the WRs have been so great. Is it partly because the CBs in college haven't been that good? 

i find myself just avoiding CBs unless it's late in the draft. 

OL looks good in this class, but i really don't want to miss out on offensive play makers. we need them badly. if anything i want to overload in that direction.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
