So who would you like the Panthers to draft with our 4th overall pick?

Lastly i don't get the weight issue crap. Jeez man there is a huge difference in the college 15 and NFL ready. Alshon fits exactly what Cam needs a big tall WR that can make circus catches and go up and get em. I mean i understand to justify taking a DT, DE or for christsakes a LB with a top 5 pick or passing on a top WR you have to tear them down a little but lets be real.

At first I thought this was photochopped, but if he does indeed have weight issues, no thank you. Blackmon looks like the only true Fitzgerald-type WR thus far and maybe Floyd a 2nd option....still too early in the year to tell. Jefferey could still turn out to be a beast, but he's gonna have to avoid buffets and hope that Garcia's replacement at SC helps inflate his stats (no pun intended).

Little premature. We've been a second half team before. Look at the 2009 season.

As far as who I want, I want a solid DT or a linebacker with the first pick. WR just isn't smart, considering the depth and youth of our receivers. Sure, an Alshon or Blackmon would INSTANTLY improve our WRs, but we have bigger needs. Need DT/LB first and foremost. Then, in the 2nd round, we take which ever we didn't take in the first round between DT/LB. 3rd round, we take a DB/WR/OL. Whichever position has the best guy. After that, it's just depth wherever we need it.

WHAT DEPTH? Show me 1 WR other than Smith who has produced when on the field. OH but but but Gettis will be back next year right? Can't count on that. poo he might get hurt again. Edwards sucks Lafell sucks. Nanee SUCKS. NOW WHAT?

If we're picking fourth? Pull a big trade to the 15-20 range and add another second round pick. Take my avatar.

If you are dropping from 4th to late teens, you better get more than a 2nd (especially with the QB's at the top of this draft). If you don't, you got raped.

He came into college with no weight lifting experience at all, He couldn't even bench 130. He's now up to 250 and weights 240+ at 6-4.

So he's over weight for his size and is a weakling when it comes to strength.

He's already got a history of either not working out at all or stopping all together as soon as the season is over.

Yet some actually consider him the #1 WR..... WTH????

If we're picking in the top 5 and can't trade back, I would agree that you can't pass up on Alshon or Blackmon....right now, this is what my top 5 would look something like if the Panthers were picking fourth.

Colts-Luck

Dolphins-Barkley

Rams-Kalil

Panthers-Jeffery/Blackmon

Vikings-Jeffery/Blackmon

I think we'll be picking higher than 4th though. The Panthers always start playing better later in the year so I think the latter half of the top 10.

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
