In one of the deepest classes ever in the trenches and edge how many should the Panthers take?

In a class that's being heralded as deep as some can ever remember, and are obvious glaring need at the position of defensive lineman edge and linebacker. How many of these positions and players should the Panthers take? I believe that in this draft the Panthers should come away with no less than at least three defensive edge guys/pass rushers including defensive tackle. 

I'm here in this class could have as many as 36 with the draftable grades and maybe 20 with grades within the first three rounds I believe we have to dig into that wealth of talent. But how many of these players do you think that the Panthers should take?

(1) DT/NT, (2) Edge, but two of the three should be starter capable their rookie year, one for development

3 seems to be the number I am at as well. Let's not discount the value we are getting with the return of Derrick brown. Not sure we need a true nose unless we want him to be one of those ends that just take on doubles(brown) but I am definitely not against it. If we could get a guy like deon walker later I would love it. Who is like 6'7 340.

Two.  One either DE or NT.  Then a Edge/linebacker type. Versatility would be useful.  A defense revamp is a priority. 2 safeties, 1 DL, 1 edge, 1 ILB, and 1 CB.   Depending how FA goes even if we add a veteran safety and more defensive line help I'd still add rookies at those spots to strengthen depth and talent level.

I think we need more pass rush help than that. We definitely need a alpha guy teams must account for. clowney is serviceable but father time is catching up and he isn't special anymore by any means. He also has a career of being a merchant for hire and could leave at the drop of a dime. That said at worse we need a true rotation or 3rd down specialist.

I'm on team trade back.

1. Walter Nolan is our missing link with a healthy DB.

2. I like Ayomanor as a more complete receiver than Isiah Bond.  EA's down field blocking is nasty, and he is field fast as opposed to 40 yard dash fast.

3. Donovan is a solid pass rush specialist.

4. Landon Jackson would provide both versatility as an Edge setter and rotational DE for our odd front.

5. Thomas is a great CB option to develop behind both Mjax and Horn

6. Schwesinger being available here would give Morgan a mile stroke of happiness.

7.  Jaylin Noell is a great speed/slot guy that could learn a ton from AT.

8. Ollie Gordon would be the perfect power compliment to Chuba.

9. Reed would be a solid developmental safety that played well after Winston's injury.

10. Conyers is an athletic freak.  Put him behind Sanders and Tremble.

11. GCL = developmental tackle.

 If you could guarantee Walter Nolen is there, I'd 100% support the trade back along with extra picks.

Honestly Ive seen lots of players listed at 5-30. Trade back maybe the play, but Id HATE that looong wait and watching names drafted...

I'm not comfortable trading back farther than 12-16.  We should still have our pick of really good DL and Edge.

If we took all seven picks on the D-line I wouldn't bat an eye. With the old men on the edges we have now and the rather lackluster performance other than Brown in the center, we could just take every young talent we can grab and then just run them into the battle in cycles until one catches on.

Sounds crazy at first, but we have no real edge and no real depth either. Having a bunch of youngsters on cheap contracts with few injuries and low-mileage motors might be the biggest thing we've ever done in a long time.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
