Yep, just read it... nothing new really. Brooks pretty much just sums up our offseason so far, which is information we all pretty much know already. Although, I liked his insight to the wide receiver position battle... he seems to think Lafell will beat out Jarrett for the #2 spot. Which, I'm not completely against. I'm rooting for Jarrett, but to have two burners, and one having height over defenders would just be down right wonderful.

Which leads me to the 3 day passing camp where Fox focused on 3 and 4 wide receiver sets. Does this mean we're gonna change our offense all together? Will it be some form of run 'n' shoot??? I watched an old episode of "Friday Night Lights" (the tv show) and in that episode, this guy was trying to convince the coach to switch from a west coast style of offense to a spread or run 'n' shoot style of offense, and the coach replied, "You've got to have the right pieces for that kind of offense." Which makes me ponder... do we have the right tools for a run 'n' shoot kind of offense now?

Lafell: 40 time: 4.58 40 low: 4.50 40 High: 4.67 (http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=57233&draftyear=2010&genpos=wr)

Dwayne Jarrett runs a 4.62 40-yard dash

Should I add more?

Are you trying to say neither one of them are burners? Cause 40 yard dashes mean nothing in the NFL once you're on the field. It's a great measuring tool, but most NFL coaches will tell you that it's all about the speed once they're on the field, in pads, going against a defender. And when I watch highlight reels of Lafell, he definitely shows potential to become a burner in the NFL. We all know Jarrett isn't a burner, but a damn good possession receiver, which is still a commodity that the Panthers are looking for out of the bunch.

I love how more than half of the Panthers' fans don't have confidence in their team and their players. Just baffles me as to why we have a team in the first place.

      Joe Person mock draft. Mar 5.

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.

      Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
