I have to say it. The local media has been horrid, I mean absolutely horrid on covering the draft this year. None of the papers have been looking at prospects, discussing strategies, making mocks or even looking in depth at team needs. Here we are less than a week a way from the draft and not even any of the blogs have anything posted within a long while.

Gantt used to be decent at bringing things up for discussion, (he brought up the possibility of us trading this year's 1st multiple times last year) but it looks as if the Observer brought him on staff just to shut him up.

Do they have a Draft gag order or something?

It is because we don't have a loudmouth GM like Mike Holmgren talking about moving up to get a QB. It's because the talking heads ( Kiper and McShay) have NO clue what we are gonna do and we don't have a 1st round pick. Like most Panther fans i am used to a slow off-season. I am guilty of getting my draft fix from my first team the hapless Lions. With the Millen Era over it is pretty exciting that they may field a competitive team before the world ends in 2012. LOL.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
