Why aren't we considering Da'Quan Bowers?

So why not take Mark Ingram #1 overall? He's the #1 running back

Because he isn't BPA.

I should rephrase, no one should be considering the team's needs as a main basis for the #1 overall.

It should be considered but BPA comes before anything which, at least from my stance won't be determined until the combine performances, interviews and scouting is done. I also don't think it will be Fairly, but that is my opinion and it is too soon to really say.

If we got a good FA DT and traded down and took one in the first round, now we have a front 4 Rivera can work with. This team gets better immediately.

I still say we pay the big man from the Ravens the money. Oh you want to be the highest paid DT in the league? Ok get the paperwork....

Brayton-Solid starter

Johnson-Has developed in to a pretty good DE.

Hardy- Showed flashes and will become alot better

Brown- Gave up a first round to get him, jury's still out on him. If they went for a DE, the brown trade is basicall a waste of two picks. They are going to give him another shot.

Norwood will get better with more experience.

I like the first three DE... I'd like to see Hardy get more playing time this year to see what he can really do.

I'm hoping Brown will have is breakout year this year... it is season number three.

Plus anybody who's a panthers fan, should automatically know that there is a glaring need at DT! Thats the first postion that needs to be address on our defense. Second is CB depending on if Marshall's gone, along with Gamble. Maybe we'll be able to retain one of them, and pick up a FA like Bailey or Asomugha.

They need to bring in a proven DT vet. No matter what his age. Then Draft a DT with a first round pick... I liked what I saw from Landri, hopefully they'll keep him around for next year. Maybe even Neblett. Then bring in a young FA to compete with those guys... Never know could land a diamond in the ruff. If those two postions are address I really like our defense.

Why anyone considers what this team needs when regarding the #1 overall pick is beyond me.

I guess it all boils down to which player you think is worthy to go #1. A lot of minds think Fairley is (including me). When your greatest need is DT, and you have the number one pick, it's a match made it heaven.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
