When was the last draft class all of our picks where on the active roster week 1?

I don't look at this class and see a guy that wont make the roster. Not unless something drastic happens like an arrest or an injury. Hard to argue against that. Past years be damned

Deep? Ha! Deep with no.2-4 type WR! No thanks, we got enough of those! We need a Bona Fide no.1

Come on dude... there were so many potential number one guys in this draft. Even Buffalo got a potential number one guy as an undrafted free agent. lets not lie to ourselves here. We missed the boat on wrs.

Well, if we bring in a vet G and the rookie is very raw it could happen.

Also, I think the RB could be questionable? How many RBs did we have on our active roster last season? Tolbert IMO is basically a 3rd RB....lead blocking isn't his bag.

Amini was raw. He learned as he went. Kugbila might not start, but he will make the roster, and will rotate in as needed/possible to get experience. You don't cut a 4th round pick after just drafting him. 5th-7th rounders are really the only guys at risk (the majority of the time, I know there are the FEW exceptions).

 

If Barner shows that he can hold onto the ball and contribute on special teams (at minimum), he will make the roster. He is too talented to risk putting on the practice squad in year 1.

 

Tolbert is a RB/FB hybrid guy, I understand that. Barner brings something different to the table than the other guys we have. Look at New Orleans, New England, San Francisco, Green Bay and others. The value of individual runningbacks may be going down, but the value of multiple guys with different skill sets are becoming more and more popular. Barner can be our Sproles/Woodhead/James/Franklin (was Green) type.

If we bring in a vet G, Hangman will be kicking rocks. Kugzilla makes the 53 regaurdless. You don't risk losing a developmental 4th rounder, by trying to sneak them on the PS.

If you go ahead and pencil in a starting 5....Piggy IMO would be #6 IMO. Yeah, he sucks balls as a starting RG but if a C or G goes down he can step in and that versatility is valuable.

I think the G makes the roster...simply more trying to state I get the logic the guy was using. He could be beat like a drum all preseason and it shouldn't be a shock. He could be dominate and it shouldn't be a shock. With a guy like that it can go either way

If there were so many potential number ones in this draft, then guys like Allen and Patton would have been drafted in the first two rounds. They weren't. This class was filled with WR depth, but not #1s.

Rogers was barely talked about around these parts. It wasn't until we reached the later rounds where Da'Rick suddenly became a valuable target. Rogers has potential but every franchise skipped him for seven rounds. That's suspicious. He was nowhere to be found on McShay's and Kiper's boards.

You add talent to find #1s....you don't just find them in the first round of drafts.

Would have been a great article if it weren't for the Kugbila comment at the end. If the only stuff you read on this guy were headlines, you wouldn't know that he impressed position coaches with his combine performance and his ability to retain coaching instructions. 4yr/2.6M for a RG who at worse will take a year to develop... oh the humanity.

Anythings possible. And IMO Kugzilla doesn't need to start this year anyhow,anyway. He needs to sit and learn. And i believe he'll most def make the cut. The G position is vital to the success of this line. Piggy could be a teacher, but at the level of play he provided last season, the only advantage he does provide is experience. He needs to be replaced,asap...

      I think you mean relevant but they have been fine, the problem is the lack of in game adjustments.  He has also been just decent at recruiting.  Duke having tons of success hurts and just fine isn’t good enough at UNC.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      I don't see it as drafting a premium player to sit and wait if Walker gets hurt. We need a legitimate swing T. Unless you have a Sewell or Slater type tackle that is pretty much a sure thing, these guys can need some time to develop year 1 just like a QB ideally should. They all haven't played the elite 5 star talent on the edge. If we think another franchise tackle has dropped to us at 19, you have to pull the trigger. The position is just too damn hard to find. If it's just a "we need a tackle and this guy has a T on the board", yeah, move on, take one in the later rounds. But if that guy is there, let him back up and learn a year, then slide him into LT on year 2 of his rookie deal.  I don't see us being able to offer Walker a multi year contract after a prove it year, pay Moton his final almost fully guaranteed year, Hunt, Lewis a center and do a 50-60m extension for Bryce. The 3 most important positions on the field are QB, blindside tackle (usually LT), and edge rusher. Those are the premium positions that cost the most and are hardest to come by. If a starting caliber talent is there at 19 you have to pull the trigger.  I understand the need for a DT and S. I've been on the C and FS train for years. If we weren't staring at a potential Bryce extension, it'd make the decision a lot easier I think. It's just with all these huge contracts I don't see how we can hedge our bets on being able or even wanting to re-sign Walker, especially if he has a bad year. Icky and BC's injuries really hurt our long term plans.  If no blue chip talent at those 3 key positions are available at 19, by all means pass and draft another position. But I think it's pretty safe to say we don't have a guaranteed lock at any of them right now beyond Phillips, and they have to be somewhat of a priority.

      Not completely accurate. I'm sure Roy is lobbying for him and Larry Brown has spoke put in support too. But Hansbrough has made comments pretty critical and hinting at a need for change. Joel Berry has gone a step further and said the standard has not been met. Scott Williams who was a teammate of Hubert's at Carolina has gone all the way and said it's time for a change at head coach.
