Jobs that are up for Grab going into camp IMO.

1. #2 CB (Norman, Thomas, Dockerey)

2. SS (Mitchell, Campbell, Lester)

3. RG (Edmund, Hanggertner)

4. RT (Campbell, Bell)

5. #3, #4, #5, and if we carry a #6 WR's. (Adams, Hixon, Gettis, Pilaris, Edwards, Bryant, Ginn)

6. #3 TE (Rosario, Williams)

Who do you think will will win these battles? My picks are

1. Josh Norman

2. Mike Mitchell

3. Hangertner

4. Bell

5. Hixon, Gettis, Ginn, Adams (I'm hoping we find a way to keep Byrant)

6. Rosario

I think out outside corners will end up being both Josh's vs Florence.

Slot corner comes down Moore vs Captain vs the loser of the outside corner competition.

SS I agree with whos battling but might add D.J Moore in that mix too. As far as who wins, no clue yet.

RG is likely still Hagmans job. If love to see Kugzilla take it from tho.

RT- no chance Bell gets best out by Campbell

Receivers. Safest bet is to say Hixon takes over the role Murphy played. Just can't rely in Gettis but he has some talent. I agree with who you have making the roster there assuming Gettis comes back healthy.

TE- I don't think # 2 or 3 is settled yet.

DT- this should be an interesting battle between Dwan and Kawann. Gettleman obviously thinks the rookie has got a decent shot at winning, we shall see.

Good thread btw.. Glad someone wants to talk actual football

The DB battles and the WR are going to be great this season. Not trying to guess who wins out just yet. But I will say I don't think there's even a battle between Bell and Campbell. Campbell will be the backup LT. The battle will be between Bell and Williams. And Bell easily wins that.

I expect Hixon to be #3. Ginn's pretty much just a returner and Gettis hasn't played in so long who knows what we have in him. I seriously doubt that we go into training camp without signing a vet RG. That is our biggest hole right now but an easy one to fill.

the panthers expect norman to be the number 1 corner.

from rotoworld...

Panthers GM Dave Gettleman said CB Josh Norman came back from his 2012 rookie-year benching as a "different kid."

Norman, the No. 143 pick out of Coastal Carolina last year, started the first 12 games but rode the bench for the final four weeks. Entering the league, Norman had a reputation for "guessing routes," and that's what got him in trouble as a rookie. As it stands right now, he's Carolina's No. 1 corner. The feeling inside the organization is Norman can develop into a top-tier cover man.

If Lamont Bryant is any good, we shouldn't have to "find" a way to keep him. Bryant had better "find" himself. His physical stature is beast like. Assuming that he has good hands, he has had months to get his route running up to snuff. This training camp may not tell if he has what it takes to reach his ceiling from the perspective of his potential, but it should indicate if he has what it takes to be a legit pro.

      Which Round Will Carolina Draft Sawyer Robertson?

      No matter what we still need a QB2 with potential to be a QB1. Keep throwing QBs at the wall until we find someone who sticks.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.
