Now I know alot of people around here is been more focus on who the panthers should take with the first pick. I also know we have a great group of linebackers aswell. But I been looking at youtube on how Casey plays. He seems to be a beast at linebacker. Just like his brother with the Packers Clay Matthews. Casey Matthews is projected to go in the 4th or 5th round. I know this fact that Casey will be a Gem coming out of those late rounds. Right now the unknown wheather TD will stay with the panthers and if he does on wheather his knee will stay healthy through a whole season. I would say keep anderson at starter on oneside and move Conner back to a backup role again and move Beason back to MLB spot and TD on the otherside as the 3rd starter. Then draft Casey as a Backup to TD just in case and allow him to learn from Beason and TD and Anderson for a few years. I know the panthers has so many holes to fill and all. But drafting Casey in the 3rd wouldn't hurt. Casey most likely in a few years will be a beast like his brother is now. Please give your opinion on this subject and what you think. Here is some highlights of Casey Matthews.

You have to respect the way all the Matthews play the game but I don't know how well he'll do in the NFL.

I don't think he's on the level his brother is.

He did manage to track down the almighty Newton and cause a fumble so maybe we should give him a shot?

Well Casey has been working out with his brother this offseason so far. I know this is just thought and all. But you know Ron is a Defense guy. So there could be a chance of drafting Casey. Who knows how Casey will play in the NFL. That's about any player a team drafts. You can draft a great college player in the 1st round and be a bust. While a team like the Pats can draft Tom Brady out of the 6th round and out of no where he comes a Superstar QB who wins the SB. But you never know until he gets drafted and trained on the job by coaches and Vet players like Beason. Drafting any player is always a hit and miss thing. But draft Casey and put him on the Bench as a backup to TD or Beason and him learn as he plays. That's with any rookie drafted that late.

Yeah I agree with you I just don't see him being the impact player his brother is. I respect the motor he plays the game with and you always want guys like that on your team I just don't see where he fits in for us.

Beason is versatile and Connor is a solid backup so we have some leeway there. I don't think he'll fall to where it would make sense for us to take him.

if he is BPA at the time, Carolina will take him, Linebacker is not a position of much need.
I never said it was a big need. But Casey is projected to in the 4th or 5th round. So is most likely could be there for the panthers to pick up in the 4th. Most people know how beastly Clay played for the Packers this year. Casey could be just as beastly as his brother. But we want know until or if the panthers do decide to take him in the draft this coming month.

Well you never know. But if he drops to the 4th or 5th. I think the panthers should take a chance. It ain't going to hurt. The guy could be a hidden Gem in the draft.;)

I like Casey, but if we're gonna take a flyer on a late round LBer, I want Nate Irving form NC State. He is a force in the run game and a flat out beast coming on the blitz. His coverage skills aren't that great, but aren't that bad either.

We could use a little OLB depth, but with Beason (much better as MLB, I don't want anymore of that "play him on the outside" garbage, play him where he's best!) and Connor (only MLB) we don't need anymore MLBs. If Matthews or Irving can play OLB then I'd be all for them with the 5th or later. I'd prefer the 4th spent on Alex Henerey and the two thirds spent on DTs and/or OL or someone who just fell outta the second who's very much BPA.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      Bryce has been playing the best ball of his career the last three games IMO. He wasn't the reason we dropped the game in NOLA. Seattle's defense will be his toughest challenge yet this season

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By SOJA · Posted

      I'll be at the game Sunday and up until last year I had a perfect attendance record. Now however I have seen us lose to the Chiefs (last year) and the Bills (this year). So we can no longer rely solely on my ability to pound overpriced beers to propel us to a win.

      I haven't been able to watch Seattle on a dedicated basis but the Seahawks are a much better team by the all accounts: eye test, record and DVOA. Defensively they are sick. Best DVOA in the league first in rushing and second in passing. Offensively their passing game has been on fire this year led by JSN I can easily see this being like the Buffalo game where things just get out of hand for us early, that being said this league really is week to week and Seattle does have the disadvantage of traveling cross country for an early game.  If and big if, the Panthers are able to effectively run the ball and limit the amount of time Seattle's offense has to generate explosive plays we have a path to winning this game.  Seattle fans won't be happy to hear this but bad Darnold is always lurking in the background. He is truly an enigma to root for bc he will have an incredible throw that only a few people can make but then will turn around and throw the most bone headed pick of all time.  I think ultimately we drop this one as ultimately it's human nature to be looking forward to that week 18 game. But man how special would it be to be leaving the stadium on Sunday with a win and a miracle dolphins upset
