"We've drafted too many DTs, let's draft an LB."

Just thought I would repeat what you've basically just said here so everybody can read it again.

How many linebackers have we drafted in the top 3 rounds last year???? Or the year before????

And you complain about illogical posts while making several.

Most decent outlets/mocks that discuss more than one player have Luke as possibility for Carolina.

The illogical posters are those that totally dismiss him and the need for LB

The same guys that used to mock a TE to us every year?

Peppers?

I guess that was kind of vague. I think that going defensive line will benefit us in the long run rather than drafting a linebacker that might be a back up.

guys we need to bolster LB, because we don't know about our 2 starters there. That makes LB a bigger priority than DT, even though DT didn't have an established starter to begin with

I'm really hope you've just been trolling this whole time. We need to bolster LB, because we DO know about our two starters. Do you really think Thomas Davis will play the entire season? How many games did he play last year with just two ACL injuries...two games...

Maybe its just me, but I don't like those odds. Beason is somewhat less of a concern, but history shows that screwing up your Achilles is one of the bigger injuries a player can have.

And you contradicted yourself concerning the DT position, because we DID have a legitimate starter in Ron Edwards who suffered a lesser injury than Beason or Davis. Not only that, but we've invested two 3rd round picks in players that were thrown into the fire last year, at a position that is notorious for players to take a while to develop at the professional level.

Please gtfo, you're just embarrassing yourself.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
