Panthersguru's Mock offseason

[Panthersguru14]

GM: Marc Ross

Head Coach: Ron Rivera

Offensive Coordinator: Rob Chudzinsky

Defensive Coordinator: Sean Mcdermott

I know a lot of you would not say that this is the "sexy" pick but I personally think continuity is underrated and that continuity is going to be a good thing for this young team and especially for our young quarterback, who by the way is playing quite well now that the coaching staff has been straightened out.

Panthers Offseason Needs:

LT, RG, WR, DT, S, CB

Panthers Free Agency:

Cut: Ron Edwards, Haruki Nakamura,

Restructure: Jon Beason, Charles Godfrey, Jordan Gross, Chris Gamble, and Deangelo Williams.

Sign:

Glen Dorsey- Could be the cheapest DT that we could plug and play and have similar defensive success next year.

Mike Jenkins- He isnt being used to his full potential in Dallas due to them having two good cover corners and he could come in here and almost immediately start across from Chris Gamble. Even if he didnt start immediately he would be great as a rotational guy.

Captain Munnerlyn

This team has proven that they can compete at the highest level with their team in tact as is. So gettiing two mid level free agents for cheap may be just what they need to keep this team going in the right direction.

1st Round: OG Chance Wharmack Alabama- Right now rated as the #6 player in the country and could definitely fall to us at 14. If this happens then he definitely could pull the trigger and we could begin to build our line from the inside somewhat similarly to what New Orleans has done, and has had obvious success.

2nd Round: WR Justin Hunter Tennessee: Once considered a top ten pick, but because of his lackluster season he could potentially drop to the second. He has all of the physical tools to be a #1 receiver so if he is available then we should see a panthers representative run to the podium to make that selection.

4th Round: FS Zeke Motta Notre Dame:This is an obvious position of need and Motta may be the best safety available at this position and could challenge for a starting spot and at worst could be a good part of our rotation.

5th Round: Marquis Wilson- Once considered a 2nd round pick would be the definite best player available. He may get flagged for character concerns but he does not have character concerns he quit because of the coaching situation. If he and Hunter both pan out then we could end up with the best receiving corps in the NFL in two years.

6th Round: Montori Hughes- A developmental prospect with great potential for the future. We dont have a NT for the future but if this guy develops into what he could be then we could have a run stuffer of the future for a really cheap price.

After reading everyones opinion I have decided that this is the best way for the offseason to play out based on needs, both immediate and longterm.

[Dash Global]

no way in hell Hughes will be around in the 6th round.

Maybe not but I would like a huge nose tackle to develop

TJ Barnes?

[Panthersguru14]

TJ Barnes?

Yes that would be a great pick up

[BigSyke]

man if ray ray could become the sean taylor lol

anyways i ilked your mock just dont know about two wr.

I dont like any OLINE in the 1st. I really believe we could go better with a veteran presence there through FA.

If we really really want a young future LT, I'd wait and trade up into the 3rd if Brennan Williams is there. He's a 1st round talent who's physically gifted that may fall into the 3rd or even 4th bc of injuries.

Henry Melton would also be my first choice at DT ahead of Dorsey.

[JawnyBlaze]

Melton's gonna get a lot more $$$ than Dorsey.

[Ken]

Only comment is the lack of DE depth. Other than that certain things a slightly unrealistic but its passable.

The only reason I chose Dorsey is because Melton will demand more money and were broke.
