Aside from QB, CB, and DT, we have some needs that could become major concerns. Some teams are entering the draft as if there will be no free agency and they will lose their free agents. I hope this is not something already posted, because the last thing I want to do is give some immature, barely-literate smartass a target because the topic is not new and refreshing enough. Just throwing some topics out there. Does not matter if I support or do not support any of these positions:

DE: CJ is a free agent and has said he wants to return. It will be expensive to keep him, and we may not compete with other offers, especially if we keep DW and pay Kalil's $10 million +. I am pretty sure we find a way to keep him, but until the ink is dry, nobody should assume. Brown, Hardy, Brayton, and Hilee Taylor?

OLB: If Anderson goes free agent and gets a deal we don't match and TD is done, who do we play at WLB--Beason again? Doubt it. We have nobody.

OT: Gross is getting a little old and Otah is having too many injuries for a 24 year old. Williams and Schwartz are not options at T. We need a player. Look for us to draft a player like Willie Smith (ECU) in the fifth round--not the solution, but a start.

WR: After drafting 3 last year, you would think we are set. However, nobody is good enough to be our #1, including Steve Smith at 32. He is too short and starting to show signs of wear and tear. He really needs to be a slot WR somewhere. It looks as though Smith is wanting out if you choose to read between the lines. Edwards still has time and talent, but he has shown nothing so far. As for Gettis and Lafell? Keary Colbert had a similar rookie outing. They are good complimentary WRs, but there is nothing to suggest that either will be a #1. If SS leaves, we are in terrible shape at WR. I think we need 2 if SS leaves: a #1 WR and a slot.

K/P: How long can fan-favorite Kasay keep it up? Things were so bad at the end of last season, I do not know if you noticed Baker stinking it up down the home stretch. Are these needs? Both are older players, and I am not sure we will address either this year, but we could.

Apparently he was talking to you, Fiz. :lol:

Shorter beer lines, Cleaner Bathrooms, Reduced PSL prices, New Jumbotrons all are needs for Panther fans.

The bathrooms are pretty grimy, however, I know where the secret ones are in the stadium and always hit those up, usually b/c i have to take a dump around the 2nd quarter.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
