We need a more dominate pass rush. we were 25th in sacks last year. that is not good enough. we have to get more pressure on the qbs. if claiborne isnt there to fix our coverage issues, its gotta be coples.

How the hell would that fix anything? What are the ends gonna do when they get guided past the QB because he can step right up in the center of the pocket while the DTs are doing jack poo?

Anyone thinking we are going to take DT or DE in this draft are just brain dead retards. Hurney is not going to give up on Fun or

McClain after one year and he is not going to give up on Hardy after 2.

In this draft its either LB or CB in the first. I'm hoping CB.

Hardy is a 6th round pick. It's not a matter of "giving up" on him, he was never really intended to be a starter and only is because Brown didn't pan out.

Maybe I do not get it, but Poe had a good combine. Why do Poe addicts not refer to his play at Memphis? Why is running fast more important for a DT than stiffling double teams or tackles for loss? He was average at a second-tier college a few months ago. Top ten pick?

He will bust wherever he goes.

Besides, I was under the impression we needed a 3 technique.

Please offer facts to help me get over this thinking--what really so great about Poe?

Don't we already have a Poe on our team?

Jason Shirley - 6'5" 345 lbs

Frank Kearse - 6'5" 335 lbs.

Poe will do just what Kearse and Shirley did and can do.

We need DB, pass rush, or LB help.

My thoughts exactly.

Caliborne

Blackmon (if he falls)

Coples

Kuechly

Ingram

Cox

IF we go DT at #9, I think Poe is the only one that has the "potential" to deserve that. I'm not sure any of the DT's will be great in the next few years. So who will/could be great(or at least start) at 9? Coples, DeCastro, CB(Kirkpatrick, Jenkins), and all can probably had below 9 with a trade back

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
