Scourton could be a guy. He is not terribly impactful yet so it's possible he never ascends to being an elite guy but maybe ends up a rotational player. Which, as a 2nd rounder isn't a terrible return IF that was his ceiling.

Currently, we have a roster of depth pieces but not real starting caliber EDGE guys, in my eyes. Complimentary players. So, obviously, we need more help at that position. Which, most positions on our roster we need more help at.

I am not sure I would put that ahead of QB, especially considering we have a bottom quarter NFL QB at the moment. I don't think that is terribly relevant, however. The draft should be BPA. Zero reason to start reaching to solve these sort of problems. Same with free agency. Don't wildly overspend to fix problems out of panic and mortgage the future in the process.

I just keep looking at the D-line a lot like I look at the rest of the team: We're an unfinished product.

I think we shored up the center of the line first and spent wisely on the edges in the draft this season. Wonnum hasn't been very noteworthy but Scourton has been very good against the run, which we desperately needed. Princely, well, I just don't have a big enough sample size to say anything but that he and Scourton are playing like rookies.

Next season... I can just see us continuing the strengthen across the board. Maybe there is a plan in place and it is beginning to work.

I think our offseason priorities should be 

1- A real edge one. We have a lot of edge 2 and 3's atm. 

2- MLB, Wallace has played well but Rozeboom is better as a special teams player/backup

3- WR/TE- as much as it pains me to say unless XL or Coker really steps up the second half of the season we need another pass catcher to complement TMAC

4- FS; Nick Scott just isn't going to cut it longterm

5- Another outside CB

      Processing Blue: immediate draft needs

      By Basbear · Posted

      He's a hard player to rank, cause he is a young NT. I do see his abilities to branch out among the DL. That's the only way for him to land in the 1st, some team has to believe he's got the stuff to play DE or T3.... I just don't see using 19 on him, I feel there should be around 7 players just ranked higher than him for the Panthers team.  ___________________________________________________________________   Now you are a roster nut like me. Im tossing this into fire, I think a good move is to trade UP, yes rare. Just the roster #s tell me 5 rookies and no more than 2 starters will make the team. I feel 5 is magic number.    QB- 2  BY, Pickett RB- 3   Chubba, Brooks(pls), etienne TE- 4   Sanders, Temble, Evans, Draft pick/major/franks/UDFA OL- 10   Walker, Lewis, Fortner, Hunt, Motown, Zavailla, Samac, Stone, Draft pick, Draft pick/Charles/carter WR-  6   Tmac, XL, Coker, Metch, Horn, Tremay   offense=  25 with 3 draft picks   DL-  6   Brown, Brown, Wharton, Ray, Cam, Hunter/draft pick Ed-   5  Phillips, Nic, Prince, Jones, ST/incoom/hampton ILB-   5  Lloyd, Wallace, Bam, Claud, draft pick CB-    5 Horn, Jackson, Thor, Evans, draft pick/CSN/UDFA SS-  4  Scott, More, Ramsom, Sim   Defense = 25 with 2 picks   ST = known 3+o+d = 53 roster   SO I see only room for 5-6 with factoring in UDFA pool. That tells me to trade up! Bonus the 1st+3rd gets in front of TB yucs. Then use one of the 5ths+2nd to draft another target. That's your two starters and use the 4th, 5th and 6th for the development OTs and what ever the best player are at the pick/DB. The last couple years they have added 2-3 UDFA each year, maybe the same this year too. Soooooooo Im normally 95% trade back, but above made me change my mind. I do not want to waive 5th rounder, I feel thats high with players on the bench.    ?? There's waiver claims too, they have done that each year.
