This one will probably goes against the grain a bit but it's something different.

Round 1:

Quinton Coples, DT/3-4DE, UNC

Reiff and Martin are good choices but I'm not sure Rivera and co. will invest a high pick on offense with so many holes on D. I think they're content there for now. I'm also not completely sold with Kirkpatrick so Coples is the choice. I think Coples would be a great fit for us as a 3-tech. We sorely need some push from our DTs and Coples showed he could do that as a junior. Also brings some versatility to play 3-4DE. Would need to gain some weight though.

Round 2:

Vinny Curry DE/OLB, Marshall

I know this might seem out of leftfield. But, Curry is an explosive pass rusher that can come in as a 4-3DE and 3-4OLB. If the Giants showed us anything, it's that a relentless pass rush can make up for any secondary play. They absolutely shut out our division rival to a tune of 0pts. The other reason for this is that the Panthers don't seem as if they are going to spend much in FA. Therefore, we must build a strong DL through the draft.

Round 4:

Casey Hayward, CB, Vanderbilt

I have a feeling Hayward might go before the 4th. If he does make it to us in the 4th it would be a steal. Hayward is an absolute ball hawk which is great if our revamped DL does what it is suppose to. He can also lay a big hit and can stick with bigger receivers.

Round 5:

Cliff Harris, CB, Oregon

This is a pure value pick. Harris has legit character concerns but the talent is there. Harris will prob not start immediately but he can be our week 1 KR/PR. It's time to pull the plug on the AE experiment.

Round 6:

Juron Criner, WR, Arizona

Another value pick here. Criners draft stock depends on his health. He has great hands which will be a plus in this offense. Has the potential to be a starting WR in the league. Will also create mismatches with his size.

Round 7:

Drew Butler, P, Georgia

Baker might become a cap casualty this offseason. Butler has a strong leg and would atleast provide competition if not outright win the start gig.

No LB this draft but we can sign an experienced one in FA for cheap.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
