Reading tea leaves: 

The draft is pretty solid at DT (3-4 DE).  I don't think Wharton, and Brown change the fact that we could draft one.

Pat Jones does not eliminate a need at Edge. I think we will draft a pure pass rusher. 

We are still razor thin at CB.  Getting Jackson back was huge for us, however.  I am not sure how much they like Evans and Bartholomew, but both (especially Evans) played pretty well down the stretch.  Good enough depth?  Conspiracy theory:  Draft Will Johnson and play Jackson at nickel. 

It seems to me that we now have 2 Strong Safeties.  We need a free safety or two.

I heard nothing about TE or WR today.  Does that mean we will draft those positions?  I really like about 4 Tight Ends in this draft, maybe 5.  WR?  I think the draft is more of a gamble, but I am wondering about TMac right now.

The focus in free agency on defense makes sense.  Evero has types and in free agency, you can match a skill set to your needs with more precision than the draft.  The focus was on stopping the run, and with the exception of Wharton, every defensive player excels in that area. Pass rush is still a concern, imo.

Maybe we still go after Jevon Hollander

Gotta say, I really like what they have done. After the Milton debacle I had lost hope, but everything since then has been solid. One thing I’m iffy on is the Vikings DE, I don’t know too much about him so I have no clue if the contract is good there. Not taking away from him getting a bag, I just mean for cap purposes.

I am relieved the Milton deal fell through--about like I was when Cleveland stole Watson from us.

Yes, after looking at what he signed for, he’s not better than Brown and him getting more would be wild.

So with cap space, Jaycee’s deal created 9m in space, Tuttle restructure created 3m in space. 
 

need to see the first year of each deal to see where they stand. Team had around 29-30m in space for today’s deals. 

We are keeping Tuttle?

Yeah Brown is a better fit to meet our biggest need.  Wharton can come in and rush the passer--7 sacks?  Pretty solid.

      Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.

      Orlov Complaining About Time W/Hurricanes

      I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…

      I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info. I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business.  I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.
