ALERT: Mike Garafalo, Panthers taking RB in 2nd round

[Shocker]

I would take Benson with Brooks coming off ACL but would love a #1 RB.

Stick with offense the next two picks and sign Gilmore for insurance

The draft makes people upset because we all develop patterns and strong opinions about who we should draft and when that plan is breached, we have to readjust.  I try to look at it from the perspective of what I think they are going to do, not what I know they need to do and if they don't, they are wrong.  I must admit, I was hoping for a RB later, but a RB could be the most bang for the buck.  There used to be a day when they were really coveted. I don't mind drafting a RB on day 2, but I mind giving them contract #2.  I just wonder if the new Guards have not already addressed the problem.

I am old school and would love it but for a bunch of years think you can along pretty well with good or excellent but not quite special.

Case in point Kamara in the 3rd vs CMC top 10.

hope this dude is wrong. This draft isn’t a stud RB class.   Drafting the best RB isn’t giving you an elite prospect.   Just wait Carolina.  End up with a comp back in rounds 3 or 4

Wow some of you on here are really grumpy. Need more fiber probably.

Anyways....Trey Benson please.

Seems Morgan wants the Panthers to play Foxball... again.

LOL…he didn’t even pick a RB yet.

I actually like Bucky Irving a lot. I wouldn't be upset if we took him.... In the 4th round. Maybe the 3rd with a trade back.

Seriously... Juan should be banned from posting twitter links if he's just going to post the links and not let them load into the posts first.

It's not that hard, more frustrating than just the idiots on here who post the most unrealistic ideas/situations.

Yeah, I can only keep editing his posts for so long lol

In fairness to Chuba....

When every player on the defense and every fan in the stands knows we aren't going to pass because we have the worst pass offense in the league it makes it tough to run for any back.

But we need a one two punch backfield we need someone that offers a different skillset we need a bruiser type to compliment him.

We also need a back that can pass block.  Chubba sucks in that area, and his hands are suspect.  So aside from toting the rock, he is a liability--especially when we become one-dimensional as you describe.

We could really use a cb and LB, but if they are determined to build around Bryce--you can't do it as well with a sub par RB and generic TE.   Maybe our thinking has been wrong.

I sincerely hope not.

RB's are a dime a dozen. If he doesn't do something this season you draft another and keep on drafting them. Not in the first round though.

Not gonna lie--personally, this would upset me.  There are only a few RBs in the league that rise above the status quo--dime a dozen label--and we had one here, but traded him.  I just do not see a special back that makes me think we would be much better off with him.  No CMCs, no Derrick Henrys.

Not sure about 39 but Benson is legit.  I would have him only behind Jacobs, Bijan, Gibbs, & Hall as a prospect, looking back since-2019.  Would add a whole new dimension to our offense.  Canales had Baker toss what 70 balls to White last year? That's not happening with Chuba.

Have sneakily been expecting this which is why I wouldn't get too bent out of shape.
