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

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, in theory Bryce could get over the hump. That aside, you have to know that due to the situation we are going to give him another year. From some perspectives, it just makes sense. I'm not saying that I agree or disagree with it, but it's not like the draft is chock full of franchise QBs. I'm thinking that only one, the consensus top pick, is destined to be the only one in this draft (and some people don't believe in him). All we can do is sure up the room with an FA (Pickett) and take a swing or two and hope (maybe the dawg Pavia). 2027 should bring better options if it comes to that.

      Let's be honest here. We have one WR on this team that would be in the top 3 of ANY other team. And he was a rookie last year. I love Coker but he is an often injured UDFA. He wouldn't have even gotten a chance on other teams. The rookie injury would have bounced him around the league for the next 5 years until he stopped trying to make a roster. It's a numbers game for most teams and he would have (at best) been on some team's practice squad. But Carolina has been so devoid of talent at the position, that we didn't have much of a choice. Bryce leaves a lot of questions but to say he hasn't elevated anyone isn't true. No WR has left Carolina since he's started and did better on another team. Not one. And there are several to choose from. Coincidence? Maybe. Probably not.
