Does anyone know what Jarrett has been up to during the off-season? I'm sure someone knows. He has to know he may be coming in as the starter and do something to prepare for it. I would be surprised if Smitty or Beason haven't been pushing his ass all off-season to work out and get in the best shape of his life. I don't see us having grabbed any better replacement for him asides from a blocking perspective. He will be starting at least in the preseason.

Where are the weaknesses?

Qb? Have more talent there than we've ever had with fox leading our team.

Rb? One of the best rb tandum ever.

Oline? Arguably one on the best we've had. Depth was a concern a year ago, but last season proved our young depth is pretty good.

Wr? we got some you talent to help steve. Don't sleep on goodson being used as a receiver either.

Te? We have a good group of guys that can catch. And block.

Onto defense.

Dline? This will be most people's choice. I believe the team like the young guys we have. While we are scared cause they are unproven as a group. I don't think any. Addition will help settle that fear. I'm going to have at least enough faith in our coaches to see how this group does before I say they are no good.

Lb? Davis back healthy gives us a great group of line backers.

Cb and safety? Not a weakness at all. In fact they have more options with how they do the defensive backfield. I hope marshall signs and shows up. If not...we'll move on

Special teams? I can't think of any other season that the team has done more to improve this unit. I can't wait to see the results. While I hope for a top 5 unit...a top 15 will help a lot.

My point is this team is improving. As much as people were complaining throughout free agency...I don't see us as bad as people think. In many ways...we are much more improved than a lot of people give us credit for.it is yet to be seen on the field...but I have genuine excitement for this coming season.

I think the team is improving long term....short term the team still looks weaker than the roster we had last year.

DL is too weak and again, it makes the talent at LB and the secondary less effective

DL against the run is my only concern.

Agreed.

I am not that concerned with the Pass Rush. Between Johnson, Brown, Norwood, and Davis we will be able to get pressure. It will just be dialed up differently than in the past.

Given the limited time we saw Irvin, Leonard, and Tyler I am cautiously optimistic about their ability against the run.

I am a little nervous at LB. Hopeful that Davis can return to his form after the injury....and theat either Connor/Anderson/Norwood plays well as SLB

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
