Keenan Allen to work out with panthers April 9

I think we very clearly need to go DT in the first round, but Smith, Allen, LaFell, Ginn is a pretty dang good line-up.

Unless we catch a falling star and put in our pocket and never let it fade away, I wouldn't go DT in the first. Richardson will be 30 by the time his rookie contract expires. I hate Floyd as a prospect and frankly hope he goes to Tampa.

Star/Hopkins or Allen/Hankins is probably my ideal scenario right now.

So what about CB?? Is this not a big need anymore?

Actually no not really. Gettleman is probably following the Giants model. Load up the DL and rush the heck out of the QB, so your secondary doesn't have to be that good. That's why he filled the secondary out with 1 year contracts on middle of the road players.

A middle of the road player can cover for 3-4 seconds which is all they have to do with a good DL in front of them. Add to that the fact that the Panther's have a pretty stout LB corp. that has good coverage skills and when healthy is a top 5 corp in the NFL. Makes the secondary even less important when following that type of model.

lol, you're implying that Brandon LaFell is a legit #1? its' common knowledge he's a solid #2/3 wide out. That's all he'll be.

I think he's saying that most Panther fans that are sensible are hoping the Panther's draft a WR so Lafell isn't the number 2 anymore, not that he's got the skills to be a #1 wr. He's more of a #3/4 guy on a good team.

The sensible ones among us aren't looking for every excuse possible to not draft a WR because we know it heralds the end of the Brandon Lafell era.

AE and Pilares will be gutted soon. Lafail and Gettis probably wont be back after their rookie deals are up. Smitty is retiring one day soon and Ted Ginn isnt a receiver. Joe Adams is Adams until proven. A receiver will be address and it need to be AUSTIN.

The sensible ones can suck it up. Lafail era is coming to an end soon.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
