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.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
