A lot of mock drafts are saying we take:

Da'Quan Bowers/ Defensive End. But is he BPA? I mean really, I look at this draft with little value now that Luck is gone. Is he #1 pick worthy? Everette Brown is a bust (please present evidence that suggests otherwise). Charles Johnson is a beast and could use someone on the other side to complement him. Brayton is a solid plug in, not good and not bad. We can sure up the DT position in Free Agency and/or a late round draft pick.

Is ANYONE #1 Pick worthy? None of the QB's are, but do we reach? None of the QB's are "the sure thing". They are just players on the rise with "potential". I wouldn't mind a QB, but if we draft one every season with our 1st pick then we will end up sitting back at #1 the following season.

I would like AJ Green based off the fact we don't have a "true #1" anymore. Smith is getting older and might want out (all evidence leads to that). Gettis and LaFell have potential to be really solid, we are yet to see what Edwards can do. Spending 3 picks on WR's last season and getting rid of a highly valuable #33 overall. Do you take another WR?

I wouldn't take Peterson at #1 overall. You can fill the void in Free Agency/Trades/late round picks/etc. I would consider taking him if we traded down though (highly unlikely considering there is almost no one worth the #1 overall, no trade value).

Nick Fairley could give us some young talent at DT. But I honestly think you can fill this hole in Free Agency/Late round draft pick.

I also know this is the 10,000th thread about such a topic.

Thoughts?

actually someone just posted evidence on why Brown isn't a bust.. don't feel like searching it though, but of the guys that came out with him he's doing pretty well comparatively..QUOTE]

I've seen flashes from him, and even some solid plays by him. But him not ever on the field (and when he was, being invisible) really put up some question marks for me. I think he deserves 1 more season of judgement with a coach who can do something with the defense (i.e Rivera).

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      Cards weren't really blitzing that much the entire game.  The ones they sent just wrecked Bryce.  My opinion is you are over fixated on what happened as we got close to the goal.   The one possession we had in the 3rd quarter? That was a freebie to get down there.  It was literally just checkdowns to the TE when we weren't running the ball down... taking up the entire quarter.  Next quarter Cards were inviting the exact same behavior.  Which is why you got those back to back clock eating small ball 14 play drives.  Featuring RB and TE easy catches.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      I don't think they changed as much as you think between the INT and the final sack (immediate pressure with 4 linemen). They definitely stopped blitzing as much, if a blitz means rushing more than the front 4/5. They definitely did some exotic packages where they sent LBs/DBs and dropped linemen into coverage though. The fumble and INT were both blitzes. And yes they were successful. And yes, I agreed with Bryce not taking care of the ball. Really not many answers on those plays - just take the sack and live another play (unless you're Lamar). Which he didn't do. And no, you can't run prevent on the goal line. What's prevent defense to you? Alignment, personnel, cushion, etc.? Just curious. My reply was to the post that they sat back in some soft zone the whole game - until the end, when it mattered. That's not true. They blitzed, they disguised coverages and blitzers, they pressed, they bailed, they covered the flats, all of that. Not trying to argue. Just trying to inform. Actually they only blitzed once on the final drive, and the DB got away with a bad hold on Tremayne. Otherwise looked like it would have been a completion for a first down. The Cardinals' final drive defense looked a lot like the rest of the game.  I know it's easy to get upset after a lose (I'm guilty), but Mondays are when cooler heads prevail. Right? Emotions can make us seem like we don't know what we're talking about. The Huddle isn't supposed to be that. I always saw it as a place to go discuss the Carolina Panthers with more than the casual fan, and their emotionally charged opinions. I can get that at the local grocery store, where they don't know anything about NC/SC, let alone the Panthers.
