I am very curious how the Huddlers would rank the current talent (or lack of) at DT, DE, and LB.

Lets assume we bring in no new players next year, how would you think the depth chart would look with the return of the 18 players on IR. You are going to have to guestimate how they will recover from the injury and how they improve over the offseason.

DE: (3)Antwan Applewhite, (2)Greg Hardy, (1)Charles Johnson, (4)Thomas Keiser, (5)Eric Norwood (is he on the team?)

DT: (2)Ron Edwards, (6)Sione Fua, (4)Frank Kearse, (5)Terrell McClain, (1)Andre Neblett, (7)Ogemdi Nwagbuo, (8)Demario Pressley, (3)Jason Shirley

LB: (2)James Anderson, (1)Jon Beason, (3)Dan Conner, (4)Thomas Davis, (6)Omar Gaither, (9)Jason Phillips, (5)Jordan Senn, (7)Jason Williams, (8)Thomas Williams, (10)Kion Wilson

Have fun! I am interested to see how this plays out. I included my rankings, feel free to shred them. :D

DT: (1)Andre Neblett, (2)Terrell McClain (3)Frank Kearse, (4)Jason Shirley (5)Ron Edwards, (6)Sione Fua (he'd be lower, but at least he's seen the field), (7)Ogemdi Nwagbuo, (8)Demario Pressley

LB: (1)Jon Beason, (2)James Anderson, (3)Dan Connor, (4)Thomas Davis (#2 is healthy), (5)Jordan Senn, (6)Omar Gaither, (7)Thomas Williams (8)Jason Phillips, (9)Jason Williams, (10)Kion Wilson

Basically we need talent at all three positions. Depth at DE, a starter at DT (I think we have enough reasonable DTs for a good rotation) and a WLB at LB.

You'd rank Connor higher than Davis? Maybe if Davis' achilles is still torn Connor is better, but a healthy Davis >>>>>>> Connor. That's my only disagreement. Like Miaoww said, Davis is #2 if healthy.

I am trying to find a way to imagine Davis coming back and playing near the same level, but lets be honest. He hasn't played serious football since October 31st of 2010.

3 ACL tears in 2 years.....

Based on what? He has barely seen the field due to his injuries and will not be anywhere near the athlete he was before.

Conor is the best run focused LB on the roster, and one of the worst coverage ;)

I would say that Johnson and Hardy are legit starters at DE, with a host of mediocre back ups. At DT we don't have a #1-4, just a group of guys who all struggled.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
