We Are Only Getting One Good D Player In The Draft

No stud DT's or DE's in the second round, I'm sorry but there wasn't. There was some decent guys there but nothing like what Silatolu will be at LG for the Panther's the next 10 years. He did have a first round grade for a reason.

BS

Still, Worthy, and Curry are studs!

OG is not crucial position. UDFA can come in and play more than serviceable.

I see injury prone, and inconsistent. Curry would've been alright, wasn't first round talent at 40 though.

moreso than Hurney, I think if Rivera feels good about where we are on defense with getting our guys back from IR, I trust him. When/if we suck hard on that side of the ball next year, thats when I will meltdown.

More protection for Cam....a big nasty angry Samoan at that......not really something to get upset about ...LOL

Well never know for sure but I think Jenkins would have been the pick at 40 if the Rams didn't snag him one spot earlier. After that I didn't see any stud CB when they picked in the 2nd and there were no stud DT or DE in this entire draft IMO.

go watch the Hurney/Rivera presser regarding the 2nd round pick and he says that they targeted him all along. He was one of the 30 visits and they loved his attitude, physical tools, and felt good about what he can bring to the table from day 1.

Hurney was asked about Jenkins and he said nope. Maybe he is bluffing, but I think they feel good about this.

If that's how you want to think about OG, then lol. Just take a look at NO and what they had going with just meh OT's and two stud OG's. That's how important a really good G is to a online. Silatolu is that guy, he's got Pro bowl potential at a need position and yest OG was a need, the Panther's didn't have but 1 decent starter at OG and needed another one.

Still, Worthy and Curry were all projects that wouldn't have made an impact this season for the Panther's they wouldn't have started over McClain or Hardy. That's just a fact, if you don't see that I'm sorry.

Considering the hole at guard, I would rather the Panthers protect Cam considering he is their most important player. Both players the Panthers got have a good chance at contributing right away or at least before the season is over. It's not like drafted players hoping they can be backups.

You're an awesome fan bro keep up the good work!

How can anyone be "pissed" about the draft? You think you know more than our coach?

All I know is we were piss poor in coverage last year. Piss poor in pass rush. Piss poor at stopping the run.

You guys have more faith than me. I dont think getting back two players is gonna solve all that.

    • My general thoughts on the roster as it stands right now:  - Most interesting positions to watch: TE, NT, WR.  - If we add a TE I feel like it'll be a bigger name FA or Kenyon Sadiq in the 1st round. I don't expect us to take a TE that early with our need at tackle, though, so it's likely one of the top FA TEs or we ride with Tremble/Sanders/Evans again. Signing a mid-level FA or drafting another mid-round TE isn't going to help us at this point. We have three of those guys already.  - I don't buy the 1st/2nd round WR hype. I do think we will sign someone to play the slot because XL is... not good. John Metchie, Juan Jennings and Calvin Austin would make sense if the money does.  - NT could be interesting because I don't get the sense that they view Bobby Brown as a true starter. This could be a position we look to add a veteran starter at or possibly take one early in the draft.  - Devin Lloyd was a huge addition, but we need another starter beside him. I fully expect us to go after one in the 2nd round. Jacob Rodriguez makes a ton of sense here.  - The Luke Fortner signing gives us a veteran fallback at center this season. I don't expect he'll end up being our long-term starter, but it's likely he will at least begin the year atop the depth chart. Even if we draft a center it's unlikely that player ends up being a day-one starter. But I think right now we're likely targeting a center in the 3rd-4th round as that seems to be where the value is.  - We have no punter on the roster. Interested to see if we sign a veteran or go the draft/UDFA route.  - The OT situation is pretty bleak. I now fully expect us to take a tackle at #19, but even after the Stone Forsythe signing we also need better depth there. Brady Christensen would be an idea re-signing; I also like Jamaree Salyer from the Chargers as a younger option that still has room to develop.  - Guard depth is also lacking. Again, having a versatile backup like Brady Christensen would go a long way toward having some security for our entire OL, but even if he comes back we should add another veteran backup, IMO.  - I assume Lathan Ransom would be the starting FS if we played today, but we know Evero loves him some Nick Scott so I won't be surprised if/when we re-sign him. He's basically the defensive version of David Moore, unfortunately. Ideally we'd look to add a true FS, but I don't get the sense that is a big priority at the moment.  - Nickel corner is a need and I fully expect us to sign someone in the next few days to upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade. Long-term, I won't be shocked if we go CB earlier in the draft than people might expect given Mike Jackson's contract expires after this year.  - I wouldn't be shocked to see us sign a RB. Sean Tucker or Brian Robinson could be interesting. We know what Chuba can do, but Jonathon Brooks has to be considered a question mark at this point.
    • Considering the Raiders and Crosby’s disagreements about his health late last year and the Ravens’ history of being an extremely well run organization I lean towards the Ravens not being in the wrong here
    • Hoping for Chig as the TE signing.  N'joku and Goedert are more proven and names, but give me the guy entering his prime that hasn't missed a game over the older guys with better stats but injury history.
