Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?


Recommended Posts

I know a lot of people won't want to hear this because we took Brooke last year in the second round. But the fact is he's not going to play this upcoming season. I think that this team still lacks that true runner that can provide something special I think that the back we have now is more of a straight ahead take what's there back in Chubba Hubbard. But I don't think he provides any special traits like he's not the fastest he's not the biggest he's not the shiftiest he just kind of takes what's there. 

This this upcoming draft class is special a lot of scouts were saying it's probably one of the best running back classes ever and I don't want to miss out on that over what Brooks future does and does not hold with all the cam skattaboo Omarion Hampton travian Henderson judkins there's just so many special talents and to name a few off the top of my head I think we would be foolish not to at least take some guy third through seven somewhere in the back end of that I'm not saying jumping the second round but I'm also banging the table not to miss out what say you?

I think it's very likely and they should.  This is a very talented deep class and they need someone to back up Hubbard since Sanders may be gone.  They need a more power short yardage guy who can also block.  I definitely hope Dan doesn't continue his old school mentality and draft one early, but they should definitely take one in the 4th or 5th.

Selfishly, I'd LOVE to have Omarion Hampton on this team but after paying Chuba and spending a 2nd rounder in a trade up on a RB last year I just can't justify doing the same again. Hampton won't be there at #57.

If he slipped to the 3rd for some reason, it would be worthwhile. He may drop a lot just because of the deep, deep pool of DL and slot guys this class. I think there will be a real run on thos positions from 15 to probably 60+

I'd like to snag a true power back at some point late in the draft and a vet rental receiving back for next year so we can give Brooks the whole year off to get healthy and see what he's got in 2026.

4th or 5th will still have very serviceable and good RB's. That is the time to strike, IMO.

    • That he gets worse while at the same time getting more exposure is just typical.
    • And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.  
    • Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant
