I think need is always factored into the BPA equation. I mean, of course every team is always going to claim their draft pick was the BPA on their board. It's not like a team is ever going to admit that they passed on perceived better talent to take a player based on need but I think "BPA" really means "BPA for our team" and that factors in things like roster need, scheme fit, etc. that aren't necessarily related to pure talent level.

Oh absolutely.  There's a spectrum of how heavily it weighs.  

Teams always keep this in mind when they're building their boards and tier-boxing.

Thats the benefit of always drafting near the end of the 1st round. Good defensive players always fall and they are right there to scope them up.

Or letting desperate teams trade up and give you day 2 picks and you still draft the guy you wanted anyway.

This too. It must be nice to be a well run organization.

Let's see how FA shakes out - I think our Panthers tax will be a lot lighter this year, along with player interest. Hopefully our offseason shakes out to BPA possibilities

I'm hoping one of these young FA qb's see what Canales has done for Young(whether real or not), it might entice them into considering signing here. I can dream dammit!

A player to watch this weekend is CJ Allen, ILB from Georgia. He’s a mid to late 1st rounder or early 2nd who is a major ballhawk and tackling machine.

This won't be the pick simply because the Panthers refuse to draft Clemson players

I really dont see this pick    
 

Can never have enough big men but i would think Edge, best oline or best linebacker    
 

Id be fine  if the whole  draft was  best available linemen for depth    Oline getting beat up, older, and free agents   

Also panthers might finish with a win or two more of course 

15. Carolina Panthers: Peter Woods, DT, Clemson

The Panthers were ready to pounce on Mason Graham had he slid in last year’s draft, and they could look at defensive tackle again in this year’s first round.

Woods needs to turn the “almost” moments into more impact plays, but he is a nimble big man with a lot of promise to develop into a game-wrecker.

I know people like to deem me the ultimate Clemson homer, but I rarely have ever been a fan of most first round type Clemson players.   Clemson has had a lot of DL players in the past decade or so go pro and go in the first round.  I have to say, this current group at Clemson is the least impressive bunch to come out of Clemson. 

Woods never lived up to his hype at Clemson.  

[DeAngelo Beason]

I actually think DT is an excellent selection.  These guys can't get after the QB and are still very porous in run defense.  DT addresses both of those issues.  If we can strike gold and put it next to Brown you're looking at a devastating combination.

Continually investing in the Dline is the Eagles model and that seems to be working 

Giants won a Super Bowl with that formula.

Going back to Reid who once said something like. "when in doubt go for a lineman"     any type

Depending on where I pick is, I wouldn't mind trading down if we can pick up a couple of extra day 2 picks if there isn't anyone we're really stuck on. We need some help right where some of the more secure positions get filled. I think we need a true center, possibly another swing depending on how BC recovers, a safety (sorry Nick Scott), LBs, possibly another OG depending on if Mayes stays or goes and hopefully Zavala goes. I know we need an edge or 2 and I wouldn't mind a QB if one with the system potential is there without reaching. This year I feel like we need some quantity with some of the safer spot picks.

I’m not sure of the need at Corner, but Chandler Rivers from Duke would be a nice piece to add if we go BPA. He’s a solid first rounder

This will all change so much by the time the draft is upon us. 
Most interesting thing to me there is where he has us finishing.
