Let's see how the tune changes in here after Ashton Jeanty is the pick as at 8.

 

 

Just kidding.

 

I hope.

If he is BPA, then go. 

Remember when our pick was Abdul Carter? How would that be now?

TMac, Will Johnson the CB?, or that Tyler TE dude, or trade back?

The guy that broke Barry Sanders records coupled with Chuba behind an actual line? That would suck.

i get it the defensive line was bad really really bad last year .however ,I think & anyone would agree that had alot to do with Derrick Brown not playing basically the entire season last year  .& so my point being I think yes we overreacted & as a result over spent on the DT position while all at the same time the answer was already on the roster / injured  (Derrick Brown ) & with as many holes as there is on this team right now that money could have been allocated to obtain other resources ...just saying 

These moves probably mean they plan to give Derrick Brown less snaps every game. He's in the game 99% of the defensive plays. That's way too much for a defensive tackle/end his size. Definitely think they overpaid a couple of guys, since they'll mostly be rotational and situational. Unless it works. Then they paid the perfect price.

I don't see how anyone can be disappointed with him at this point.  He took on a complete dumpster fire and in a short amount of time, has the Panthers playing respectable football again.  No GM hits on every player and so far, he's hit on some good ones and if this continues, the Panthers have something to look forward to.

I don't think he has been bad, but there definitely are some reasons why he has been sort of underwhelming. Regardless, still will need at least one-two more seasons to fully evaluate him as GM. I will remain optimistic, as this draft he has the chance to trend more in the right direction.

Oh good grief. You can give him credit for the good without just glossing over the bad and pretending like we were not absolute hot garbage at certain points last season when the games still mattered and people were just complaining to complain. Make no mistake. While we hold Morgan in regard and like him a great deal because he's a former franchise player. He has to prove he can build this team through the draft just as much as any Panthers coach or player has to prove it out there on the field. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging these plain truths.

Morgan has been a bit underwhelming thus far, but I'll give him another offseason, draft and season before I begin to form some hardening opinions about him. 

It appears a few here are half-way I praising him for his work in free agency. I don't mind paying or maybe even overpaying a little bit (that's a Panthers tax for sucking for the better part of the last decade) for a bonafide star like Robert Hunt, but I feel like he didn't have to pay Tershawn Wharton or Patrick Jones II as high of a number as he did. 

We'll see what he does next month on the 24th-26th. Then we'll see what it all boils down to throughout next season. I can't exactly love him or hate him, but as a former Panther, he still has some goodwill in the bank.

He'll be fine if he doesn't try to be the smartest person in the room during the draft. If you need a pass rusher, draft the best pass rusher. If you need a WR, draft the best receiver. If you need a Safety, draft the best Safety. Don't focus on a guy you like because of... reasons not related to actually playing football.

Guess who “won” the panic award? Real shocker. Easily the worst contract handed out on defense

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By RIPTreyLance · Posted

      Do you see the vision?  As of now our Carolina Panthers don’t have an identity. We are not an offensive powerhouse and on defense we only started getting it together towards the end of the year last year. In my opinion we are much closer to having an incredible defense that scares the daylights out of people. I say the answer is simple and we fully commit to that possible identity.    Emmanuel McNeil Warren (E man)  This guy is like a shark lurking around ready to attack anyone. Fearless. He is easily a top 20 talent in my eyes, and the only reason he isn’t more talked about is because he’s from Toledo. Do your due diligence as panther fans and watch his tape I beg you. Once you’re done watching let me ask you this, if you dropped E - Man into the strong safety spot on the Buckeyes, he isn’t being talked about as one of the best prospects we’ve seen in some time given the skill set you see with this guy? I think so. Put his name on the card and turn it in at 19.    Jacob Rodriguez  High effort, High energy, High IQ guy that flies around the field. We all know Jacob at this point. My only concern is he’s a little bit too good and I’m not sure he makes it to us at our pick in the second. With the additions of Jacob and E- Man I think our defense goes to top 5 in the league. We would have a duo of linebackers that rival anything we’ve had in our past. I’m not a GM so I don’t know what the possible answer could be, but if there’s a way we can comfortably trade up in the second to secure this guy I think we find a way to do it.    Spend the rest of our picks fixing the O - line.    Thoughts Panthers fans? Who’s the ideal duo for yall?

      OL is arguably much more important to the success of a young QB. (Or any QB)

      Didn’t get around to watching this one but looks like Pistons played their starters and actually tried…? Unlucky that they sit vs Magic, etc and try vs us. Hopefully we can beat the Heat and then Magic or 6ers with no Embiid. BUT if not, the NBA really should give us the lottery win this year like they did Mavs last year. Another high pick could be our final missing piece and have us as legit top contenders next year and going forward if we’re healthy. Or trade it for a Giannis type
