I think this is the worst offseason in recent memory.

No, not the worst offseason for the Panthers. I actually think they are in decent shape.

I am talking the worst offseason for the fans. The season ended on a huge turd of a game, and little has been done to regain the excitement for the fans. Its just harder than normal to get pumped up for the upcoming season, more so than seasons past.

Things that would cure this football recession....

1. Peppers officially trade and Panthers get any first round pick.

2. Summer School starts in the end of May - serious QB competition is announced

Other than that, I can't think of much.

Help?

May not be much newswise, but the Panthers did have an individual workout of a college player. Per KFFL, they worked out safety Eric Johnson of William Jewell College.

A very basic bio can be found here: Eric Johnson

(He's 23, but his pic makes him look like he's pushing 30) :sosp:

Word has been that the Panthers were hoping to stockpile draft picks. Sadly, part of that strategy was a Lucas trade that didn't pan out.

There is still the hope of the Peppers trade, though I think no one should be on the edge of their seat for that one till it gets closer to draft day.

The annual league-wide free agency slowdown will come soon as teams begin to focus more on the draft. Thus, the dearth of news will be hitting everyone, not just us.

Best chance for news is likely the team snagging one of its own free agents like Mark Jones or Jason Kyle, but even those might be a while. There's also the possibility of a veteran pickup like Dwayne Robertson or Torry Holt.

Given that Robertson is one of the few names we've heard connected to the Panthers, I fear everyone will melt down if he signs elsewhere.

      What I'm saying is that he wouldn't be on my board to be drafted. He'd be on the "if these guys go undrafted, give them a call" board.

      Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.

      Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky.
