i my self like the 4-3 more the 3-4 but draft wise this year is a bad time to have needs in the 4-3..its a goldmine this year for all the teams moveing to a 3-4.

look at are needs DT and DE both are super weak in the draft this year. more than that, the ones that are rated high are suited for the 3-4 more than the 4-3.

even if we get in the first round who do we get i mean are pick will not be top 10. it will be interesting to see how the FO deals with this.

its just a bad year to run a 4-3 draft wise seeing as how the top DE and DT are better suited to be in a 3-4.

DTs and DEs are just as important in 3-4 schemes. I don't buy that this is a bad draft for 4-3 Ds.

yea they are just as important but whats required of them are differnet in the schemes..and most are saying that top DE and DTs are better suited for the 3-4 in this years draft

I'm afraid I've gotta agree here. Outside of Evander Hood, there are no really good DT prospects for a 4-3 team here. Most of the DTs in this year's draft would either be 3-4 Ends or converted to DEs on a 4-3 team. After the second round, the average weight for a DT in this class is about 290.

I can't argue that as I've barely looked at the draft class this year. But if this year is weak at DT then teams converting will have a rough time if they don't already have a NT in place. If you don't have a good NT then you don't have a good 3-4 D.

I really think we are in a tight spot this year. As much as I want to see this team win we are gonna have to get lucky this off-season with a small cap and bad talent in the draft. On top of all that we play the NFC East and AFC East and even if some of those teams are bad next year majority will be good as well as our Div.

Yup, I don't think that this drafts limitations are on the Dline. To me it seems like a bleh kind of class.

I think a good DT is a good DT, system be damned. Same for DEs. Good personnel will adhere to and fit into a good system. Good system means much more than just Xs' and Os' on a blackboard, its all about how well the coaches implementing the schemes are at communicating responsibilities, roles, reads, etc., etc. I'm confident the scouts in this league will do as they always do, and find the real gems in the middle and late rounds..

      Is Canales really a “QB whisperer” or is Bryce just not that guy. I’m giving him a little bit of a break due to injuries around him and some questionable play designs. I don’t know, maybe this team is just cursed and we will never replace Cam. We still haven’t replaced Gross, Kalil, Smitty, Luke…

      This was the risk with spending what $150 million in free agency on two OL? We should have been focused on the draft. Now whether the OL is terrible bad or mid we still have the highest amount of salary cap dedicated to the position group by far. And it's only going to go up when we sign Icky to an extension. Instead of trading up for injured running backs maybe we should have been drafting OL.

      The Panthers are a bad football franchise. We have young receivers who are imperfect. We have had injuries along the OL. But Bryce Young is a downgrade from every single QB that has started for this team since Cam Newton's throwing arm died back in late 2018. And we have invested an absurd amount of resources in order to improve this offense. Multiple things can be true at one time.
