Defensive Needs:  DE, NT depth, CB, S, Edge, LB.

Offensive Needs:  WR, TE, RT, RB

 

FS, LB depth, and NT depth (Crumedy? Draft pick?) left to go for the defense.

I expect Dan Chisena (for ST primarily) and could see the team kicking the tires on Tyler Lockett.

Sets the team up nicely leading into the draft......

I missed Tershawn Wharton.  Just stumbled over it. Here is how I see the DE Milton Williams failed deal ($26m per year).

The Panthers then sign NT Bobby Brown for $7m and DE Wharton for $18m.  In other words, the Panthers get 2 solid players for $25m-- $1m less than the Milton contract.

WHAT PANTHERS GOT FOR $25m (combined):

  • DE Tershawn Wharton:  7 sacks, 68.3 pass rush grade.  44.3 run defense grade.
  • NT Bobby Brown: 0 sacks, 67.7 run defense grade. Overall PFF rating: 63.3

WHAT PATRIOTS GOT FOR $26m:

  •  Milton Williams:  6 sacks, 90.0 pass rush grade.  43.1 run defense grade.

Lockett is all but guaranteed to go to Vegas

Kupp when he's cut for me 

Why?

Don't get me wrong, I've always been a Kupp fan, but he'll turn 32 before training camp, hasn't been able to stay healthy, and plays the same role that Thielen already plays for us and who already has a rapport with Bryce.

Because of that, he doesn't really add anything new to the team unless we were planning on trading/cutting Thielen.  

But since neither would be long term solutions at the position anyways, I'd rather just stick it out with Thielen for his last year under contract given Bryce's comfort level with him already.  This is a make or break year for Bryce, I think that comfort level with someone who hasn't had the injury issues that Kupp has had is better for us this year than Kupp would be as a replacement for him.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F  
    • You gonna make me post Stank before every game?  I kid, I kid.
