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.

    • Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.
    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
    • We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
