4th - Keenan Robinson, OLB, Texas

5th - Nate Potter, OL, Boise State

Im gunna change your user name to Bob soon...

My reasoning for not drafting any dline has more to do with my draft philosophy (if you can call it that). My main goal is to get immediate starters out of the first two rounds with 3rd/4th rounders being development guys who can rotate in. 5th, 6th, and 7th from that point on are to fill needs and make value picks.

With that said, Ron Edwards will be one of the starting DT's next season. McClain and Fua will both be coming back with an actual offseason under the belts to go with their year of NFL experience. Jason Shirley showed good potential, and I'm all about some Andre Neblett. The DT position was addressed last season and I'd like to see how the two 3rd rounders develop before casting them aside.

Also, Darius Butler is going to cost over $700k to keep around. He didn't outright take the spot from Captain, which leads me to believe that both him and Josh Thompson/Thomas? will be gone next season. Janoris Jenkins is the best cover corner in the draft and could start immediately with Hogan competing for the #2 or 3 spot with either Jenkins or Munnerlyn. We play against the Falcons who have Roddy White and Julio Jones twice a year, we play the Saints who have Drew Brees twice a year, and we play the Bucs who... well... we play the Bucs twice a year also. :D

As far as DE is concerned, Greg Hardy did awful vs. the run but he was also a 5th round steal in his 1st full season as a starter. I don't think he did too bad considering what we going on all around him. Thomas Keiser also stepped up, and Charles Johnson is getting paid. I would love for Applewhite to stay, but if he can get paid more to play more I would be more than understanding.

tldr; I'd like to see how our two draft picks step up as opposed to just throwing more poo at the wall until something sticks. CB lacks depth and talent and in a passing league with one of the best QBs in the league in the Panthers division it seems to be the smarter pick (imo).

I don't see the point of trading down 3-4 spots to take the best cover corner in the draft at #9 overall. If somebody is willing to, sure, but trades don't simply happen because one team would like to get somebody at the right # in the draft order.

    • Good, our ST is almost as bad as our ILB depth!
    • With two starters on expiring contracts (Moton + Corbett) as well as a few back-ups (Christensen, Mays, and Nijman), the Panthers are likely going to have to reinvest in the OL after this coming season. Icky's fifth-year option was picked up by the team this offseason while Lewis and Hunt both remain under contract then (though Lewis' deal is set-up in a way that would let Carolina move on from him then as well). I think that the team is going to be looking at investing a premium pick at RT should Bryce's development continue, and might even look to double dip at the position in order to have a swing tackle that can also kick inside when needed. There's also the question of starting center... Prospects I'm watching this upcoming college season... Centers Jake Slaughter (Florida) Iapani Laloulu (Oregon) Connor Lew (Auburn) Logan Jones (Iowa) Parker Brailsford (Alabama) Connor Tollison (Missouri) Bryce Foster (Kentucky) Pat Coogan Notre Dame) Raheem Anderson (Michigan) Carson Hinzman (Ohio State) RTs Francis Mauigoa (Miami) Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) Spencer Fano (Utah) Gennings Dunker (Iowa) Blake Miller (Clemson) Isaiah World (Oregon) Caleb Tiernan (Northwestern) Monroe Feeling (Georgia) Earnest Greene III (Georgia) Monroe Mills (Louisville) Charles Jagusah (Notre Dame) Tree Babalade (South Carolina) Trey Zuhn III (Texas A&M) Nolan Rucci (Penn State) Tristan Leigh (Clemson) Fernando Carmona (Arkansas) JC Davis (Illinois) Riley Mahlman (Wisconsin) PJ Williams (SMU) Tosh Baker (Notre Dame) Aki Ogunbiyi (Texas A&M) Courtland Ford (Kentucky) Ethan Onianwa (Rice)
    • I watched documentary on the 2010 Auburn season and Cam wasn’t included in that either. I think he just doesn’t care for these things
