BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

[ForJimmy]

The interest in Ramsey, now Simmons, and reaching out to Blackmon before the draft makes me feel like our secondary isn't complete yet.

Wish they were also looking at a linebacker to compete / backup that group too.

I think they are happy with Jewell and Wallace starting this season.  Have Rozeboom as a vet for depth.  I agree though, after last year that group needs strong depth.

We may sniff around some safeties but wouldn't be surprised if we don't end up getting one of these guys like Blackmon/Simmons/etc.  If we still haven't popped, we should wait and see who ends up available come preseason. 

Overall, it's not a position I'm super concerned about/low priority.  I wouldn't mind seeing how the young guys look.  Falcons and us swapping FSs would be meh.  (They've got Fuller now) and don't think it serves us well getting a 32 y/o to plop in for a season.  Develop.

I'd be surprised if Fuller is starting for them all season.  Watts probably takes over sooner vs later for the Falcons.  I kind of wanted him in the mid rounds....

I liked Watts as well.  Forgot they grabbed him.
