Panthers Mock Offseason 2024


Recommended Posts

It's surprising to me how much both the fanbase and the team seem to be overlooking the TE position. Hurst is an absolute bust of a FA signing and anyone paying attention saw that coming. Ian Thomas was an absolute bust of a re-signing and anyone paying attention saw that coming. Tremble is a #2 TE at best and would be fighting to hang onto a roster spot at #3 on a good roster.

Agreed. We've got to get a good TE in here. Something we can't afford to overlook.  Even if it's like Jared Wiley. Just get one here.

There are some decent TEs in FA.  Hopefully it's a soft market and we can get one of the better dudes at a reasonable price if we can hold our water and not sling money at players on the outset of FA.  I was always skeptical of Hurst because as a former 1st round pick, he's been passed around more than a hooker at a naval port.  Dudes that bounce around that much, considering he's not that old, usually raises a huge red flag for me.  I know he was dinged up a bit last season, but even when healthy made little impact on our offense.

I was on board with most of this, however, I don't like the Irving pick or double dipping at OL.  You cut Thomas (I agree) but did nothing to replace him in the draft or FA.

In all fairness, you don’t have to do anything to replace Ian Thomas.

Greenard or Huff make a lot of sense in FA.  Those two are my favorite targets for us overall, not just at EDGE.  Need more consistent pressure on D.  

Unsure how realistic the Burns trade is.  Think we net a future 1st for him if something happens, but it won't be a 2024 1st.

Agreed with the cheekiness of your comment, but we do need a TE though if he's released.  Sorry, but consistently banged up Hurst and a bunch of JAGs won't cut it.  A day 3 TE in this draft isn't exactly plug and play.

I agree, but sadly we only have two picks on day two.  I guess it would have to be BPA between these three groups (OL,WR,TE) or BPA on a player that dropped well below his initial grade.

This list leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion. Unless Tremble develops, we'll be talking about drafting someone in 2025 if we patch things up with one of these guys.

I'm against a TE before round 4 just because we are draft pick poor.   I want WR and RB or EDGE respectfully in rounds 2 and 3.  I would like to trade back once to get an extra pick, Ideally #65, and pick up an additional 4th getting back to four picks by say, selection 120.  That way we can get our WR, RB/EDGE and TE before it gets lean in round 5.  Even then we can get a good CB in the 5th since it's so deep of a class.  Our 6th will simply be BPA as these dudes are flyer picks.  Best OL/DL left on the board.
