I always considered Warren the next Shockey as well, whom was one of my favorite players. I know it'd be kind of a luxury at this point, but I really really like him. 

I completely forgot Shockey used to play for the Panthers until I read the comparison.

Graham and Nolan should be our top two options.  If we have learned anything from Philadelphia is that a Stout D-line is a key to success.

Brown, either Nolan/Graham, and a combination of either Norman-Lott/Alfred Collins (3rd round) followed up with Robinson makes a SOLID D-line rotation.

This would open up things for Clowney and Wonnom who are under reasonable contracts.  Draft someone like Kennard or Princley at 57 (or trade up a little 50 - 48) and we are cooking.  O2 from UCLA is a great prospect similar to Walker that could be had in the 4th or 5th round.

We use free- agency to fill out lesser expensive positions like safety, RB, and LB.  If we sign M-Jax back that is a huge win for us as well.

This would allow up to focus on EDGE in FA and the draft next year.  Once Brown's contract expires, we resign either or both of our DT's from this year to replace his cap hit.

After this season we should be in a better place to rotate in draft picks and expiring contracts annually.  When we trad too many picks for mid QB's and are terrible drafting in rounds 2, 3, 4 it results in zero depth.  Morgan and Tillis have an opportunity to put us back on track over the next two seasons.

I'd be trying to get either or both of Talanoa Hufanga and Tre'von Moehrig.  Moehrig is likely out of our range because LV has an insane amount of cap space. Julian blackmond or Justin Simmons would be good signings that wouldn't break the bank at S.

LB is pretty cheap in the free agency market, specifically ILB.  The same goes for backup RB.  I'd take a flyer on Ollie Gordon II or Rocket Sanders in the draft as a power compliment to Chuba.  The RB's in this draft are so deep we could likely steal a high quality UDFA RB from this draft as well.  The kid out of Syracuse runs too high, but is a beast.  Pretty sure his name is LeQuint Allen.  I see him anywhere from 4th to UDFA.

I think Warren is good, but not top 10 good. Additionally, we drafter JT Sanders last year who plays the Y-tight end anyway. We need an in-line tight end. Warren isn’t good enough to justify making JT Sanders redundant. Waste of probably the last top 10 pick we will have in years. 

Agree, I don’t see TE at 8…they will go front seven almost certainly

Oh man Shockey on the Giants was one of my all time favorite players as a teenager. When he finally came to the Panthers I was so happy to have him, Olsen and Cam to start the new regime. I really wish we brought him back for another year, he wanted to be back too. A nice compliment to Olsen because Shockey would look for contact and want to run dudes over every play. We have so many pressing needs and I agree we shouldn't get Warren, but man, I would not be mad if we full retard mode and drafted him lol.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
