we have a good spot this draft.. no matter what, i think were gonna end up with a good DB. One of these 2 guys.. i think honestly, (even though he is rated 2nd) that Kirkpatrick is the better choice for our system. he is bigger, hes better in the zone than morris, and to be honest.. i think he plays just a little harder.. (just my opinion from watching what few college games I have) so assuming either one of these guys doesnt go before we get to them.. who would you rather take?

I think well be ok at corner they are probably going to put stock into hogan. With the big money we gave to the home grown guys they are really going to need their draft picks to pull through for them.

HAHA. I highly doubt that. We're gonna go with Claiborne/Kirkpatrick if they're available, which Kirkpatrick should be.

Why you think reaching for a risky prospect like Kirkpatrick over taking the best player available is a smart move is... puzzling.

I Hope to high heaven we don't take CB. It's just not that important of a position on the defense when you already have at least one great one.

Better pass rush=better pass defense

Better #2 CB=#3 cb and safeties get abused just the same=similar pass defense

Look at all the teams with two great(using that world subjectively) cornerbacks. NY Jets with Revis+Cromartie and the Eagles with Aso+DRC, opposing offenses simply target their #2 and #3 corners and safeties to pick up the yards. But the Biggest difference between them and us? They both have defensive lines to rush the passer.....we don't.

Look at the draft prospects. There are NO DLineman worth taking with the 8th pick. CB is the only sensible way to go. We can get DTs thru Free Agency, like Ron Edwards, who will be back next year

Hmm. A tall, injury-prone CB who's not a great tackler and runs a 4.5. fug yeah, sign me up.

I don't understand the love affair with Kirkpatrick.

Want a good defensive lineman? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good linebacker? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good safety? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good cornerback? Might want to look elsewhere. Like LSU. Or South Carolina. Or Texas. Or Auburn.

Bama and Saban have all of *one* starting CB in the league: Kareem Jackson of the Houston Texans. Go the Houston boards to find out their opinion of Kareem Jackson.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
