Normally with a high pick I'm inclined to take something like a stud DE, but I've noticed young DE's seem to take a year or two to develop against the run.  That's the last thing we need right now.  I'd lean toward addressing DE in free agency and use the draft to build up the interior of the line and the linebacking corps.  A force of nature beside Derrick Brown is exactly what this team needs to get back to the playoffs. 

We've beefed up the o-line.  Now we need to do the same with the D line.  Luckily, it doesn't seem we need to spend much time or resources on skill positions, so we should have the ability to focus on defense.

I agreed with everything up till the very end. I still think this team needs a number one wr and te.

Seems a lot still look at defense here through a 4-3 base lens.

If you draft Graham, we need to cut and save with Ashawn at DE. Robinson has been average, but uncharacteristically bad vs the run. Unsure if it’s because he gets the attention with Tuttle (average) and Ray (really bad)…but it’s a problem.

In addition, Graham he could play interior in our Nickel looks where we’ve slotted Harris who was wretched.

So after some consideration, the fit could work well with Brown. But we would still need a focused attention at upgrading our OLB. We need an upside pass rusher there badly.

I love Graham as our pick but, I am so conflicted with the possibility of T-Mac as the ‘throw it up and he’ll go get it’ contested catch option for Bryce.  [Why shouldn’t the Panthers have their own version of Mike Evans?  Why shouldn’t we have nice things, too?]

I don’t think we could go wrong with either but, if we do skip defense in round 1, we need to go defense the rest of the draft, especially front seven positions. This is a great dilemma to be in, win-win with either pick.

Same boat. I see Graham as 1a and T-Mac as 1b.

I think the problem with this draft is outside of Travis Hunter at CB, I don't know if there are any "elite"/Blue chip level talents. Like Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers etc.

I think their are some "very good"/red chip players. I think Mason Graham falls into this. Will Johnson probably does as well. Not sure yet if Abdul Carter does or TMAC. 

So even if we end up with a top 4 pick. I'm not sure we are getting a blue chip talent. 

I still maintain you can make an argument for drafting almost every single position in this draft at some point so just get the best player available in round 1 or do a small trade down

      The guy has not coach college in ten years and in that span its greatly changed. Still take him over Davis, I want to see the presser and if billy still has fire in his eyes for college non-sense.....plus you know billy will want a multi-million staff.  This is interesting, very....... glad the old guard FINALLY steps aside......

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
