There are many needs...

[GotSwag?]

I was always a fan of Goodson. Hes the guy I want back there.

[rayzor]

Another need is less whiney, chicken little fans.

it doesn't take a chicken little to see that the sky is actually falling on our piss poor special teams.

it's crap. we have by far the worst and least effective special teams in the league.

[usmcpanthers]

I agree Goodson is the only one that has shown the explosiveness in the last couple years.

Whats Mark Jones doing these days?

[IplayedCam#1317]

Maybe we can Get "Fraction Jackson" Next Year if he leaves Phily :)

priority of needs

1. DT

2. CB

3. OL

4. returners

what kind of explosive returner are you looking for with our 4th pick?

[Delhommey]

Edwards has shown a lot of improvement by just falling down rather than falling down and fumbling like last year.

[rickyisclutch]

TJ Graham of NC State would look nice in a Panthers uniform.

[Dpantherman]

Who many coaches do we need to go through? Maybe we need better players. It doesn't matter if DeSean Jackson or Steve Smith himself were returning kicks. The coverage is non-existent

being old, unemployed, and broken. the dude relied on the wedge for his success. when the rules took away the wedge, he became useless. him getting hurt after he left here didn't help him, either.

disagree.

RT and OLB are the top 2 priorities. neither otah or davis can or should be trusted to come back and do well. we need to move on from both those guys. we need to get those two guys replaced more than anything.

DT should be addressed in FA or maybe via trade. we have enough youth and inexperience there. if edwards comes back healthy and mcclain and fua have a year under their belts and a full offseason then all we need is another experienced guy and we might have stumbled on him already in ron fields. mcclan, fua, edwards, and fields might just turn out to be the serviceable rotation we need there.

CB...gamble and the capt are fine. butler is good enough. i'd like to see hogan in action. i think CB isn't a problem going forward.

true. still not getting any push going forward.

we have bad blocking and bad coverage. the clocking and coverage scheme has a lot to do with that, but personnel needs an upgrade as well.

we need a couple special team aces brought in with experience. guys that can excel in blocking and in coverage.

With his history of drops? No thanks. I don't care if he's towards the top in all-purpose yards in the nation, he still can't catch passes, and sure as hell makes you hold your breath everytime a punt is going towards him.

we've picked up plenty of linebackers recently and when beason returns this wont be high priority. i can understand RT, especially if there is a chance of getting matt kalil.

Our run defense is beyond garbage. we need DT's and we need them now. Fua is a joke and a bust and ron edwards aint going save the line by himself. now if we get someone with first round talent up their to draw a double team. it could be something formidable.

As far as CB, munnerlyn is too short. we get a team with two tall recievers and we're screwed.

[UNCrules2187]

I would definitely go with RT and OLB in the draft IF the FA DT class is good and Hogan shows promise (if he plays this season). With Gamble/Butler/Munnerlyn/Hogan, I think we can be set at CB especially if we can get a penetrating DT. With the injuries we've had at LB, it shows that you can never have enough quality LBs and an elite RT would be great for Cam if Otah can't come back or is hurt again next year. It hurts this year in that we will have a pick in the 6-10 range but there is no sure-fire must-have DT talent like Dareus in this year's draft.
