Simple Question for everybody about DEs.

this team needs somebody who can rush the passer, and do it well. not sure how often i want one of my best pass rushers, dropping back into coverage in a game if that is what he does best.

I agree 100%.It takes more than to have average DEs in the NFL.Constant pressure on the qb is essential in the NFL and I see that as our greatest challage on turning our defense around.Sure we need to upgrade our secondary and DT but the one position you cannot skimp on is a pass rusher.

NO to tweeners. I want a DE/DE if that's the position we target.

Being able to play more than one position doesn't make you a tweener. Not being good enough at either one to become efficient at it makes you a tweener.

Think Everette Brown. Had the size for a 3-4 OLB, but not the hips or coverage ability, however, didn't have the size or strength for DE...basically there was no real good fit for him.

RB is right about the DE side of things. Coples is the most talented of that group.

If you're looking at the more DT types, Cox slid to the outside on occasion this past season.

Ingram and Perry are the more DE/OLB ones I like in this draft

and then Jake Bequette and Frank Alexander are interesting mid-late rounders

We need to invest in our front 4. Football is won in the trenches on both sides of the ball, and having a rotation with Johnson, Hardy, Coples and Kieser in multiple 4-3/3-4 looks would be advantageous. The big question is after the combine where his stock will be, I'd wager he could go as high as Cleveland.

would rather have a DE that can kick into the interior on passing downs

Coples is the most talented fit in this mold. Crick is a decent alternative option but not something we should spend our first pick on

i like crick in the 2nd or very late first round.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      Brother, I don't want to drop the amount of rage I have about BY and the fuging Pickett signing....when murray was free, tua was free, lance was about the same cost. But you know during practice when other teammates see and hear the passing for any of them compared to BY, he may cry right then.... It does feel like Dan and Tillis were told "make BY work, by any means". You recall the first plan was to drop 163 million on OGs to protect the little fellow.......then drafting WRs and they even signed his buddy WR this FA period..... I just go back to Dan Morgan wanting instill competition throughout the roster and T-H-A-T is your QB room ??? bloody hell, what a joke and disrespect to the whole roster outside that group....

      Id drop this in here- I fully believe nearly ALLL the Tmac hate leading up to the draft came from the Panthers..... There was plenty and it was believable, cause many did just that. There was huge questions and about 85% of the huddle took the cheese hate.  I do have this too- Banks has a broken feet and a history of feet/ankle issues. If he didn't, 19 would have been fair landing spot. Of course, but Prince spoke highly of him in a Twitter post....former teammates and all, but he still made the post and I haven't seen other players prince did so for.... Maybe the 51st on banks, but maaaaaannnn big men with broken feet broken its feels like it never ends well. I mean after brain, spine, I think Feet are the career killer leader.  Draft DL feels weak in every way.    Last morsel- there's a weak rumor of Panthers trading for DT Payne out on the vine....(his price I feel kills it, but new contract solves that for trades)....

      If we go all in and sell out with Bryce as our QB, it will even more entrench the idea that Tepper is at minimum running the QB room for me. Now i could be wrong and Dan really is that confident in Bryce all by himself, but nothing this team has done in the past 3 offseasons leads me to believe that there hasnt been some noise from big T. He's admitted that he walks through the office making his opinion known. To me, Bryce's output has just not generated that kind of confidence that we are playoff worthy other than against the Rams. Against the SB champs, just damn.
