Best news in a loooong time...

[Captain Morgan]

don't we have all of our draft picks next year?

 

When's the last time that happened?

[stirs]

I think you are right.

Since we won't be picking top ten, the add'l picks will help

[Manos]

Don't we owe somebody a seventh rounder for Colin Jones or something?

[TheRed]

You are correct. Our seventh round pick was traded to the 49ers.

 

As for the OP....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding........... Maybe.

Better to be missing a seventh than a third like last year.

[MHS831]

HOPEFULLY, the Panthers will not have many needs.  WR (2, perhaps?), TE, OT --I PRAY that we find a SS and the CBs mature.  I think it will happen.  

 

On defense, it would be nice to draft for the future, maybe another OLB (Beason may be gone in 2014 if he has a good year or bad)

 

The key to 2014 offseason will be Hardy and positioning to offer Cam a long-term, lucrative contract.   I think we will do that.

 

My draft (Do not know why I am doing this, but here goes):

Round 1:  WR: So much depends on the WR crop and Gross' intentions.  I say re-sign Gross for 1 more season and draft a top WR.

Round 2:  OLB:  Davis will be 32 and Beason could be gone.  Both are injury prone, something that tends to signal the end for a LB.  I like Klein, but we need to think about the reality of the situation--both are question marks.

Round 3:  LOT:  Very late for a LT, but first round LTs usually start.  I hope Chandler converts and steals the show, but if not, we need a guy who can play for a year and develop--maybe compete with Bell at RT to get experience until that happens.

Round 4:  QB:  Shocking? If the draft has raw talent like Glennon, Barkley, and Tyler Wilson in the fourth round, this is a great time to find a second teamer to groom.   Clausen will be gone.   Practical GMs would ignore this nonsense and draft a TE here.

Round 5:  RB:  Yes, another RB!! There was good value late in the draft at RB and no smart man would bet on Double trouble being anything positive in 2014.  DW will be way over the hill for a RB of his mold and Stewy has too many foot injuries.  May be time to move on.  Hurney--you idiot.

Round 6:  WR:  Yes, a second WR.  Lafell is an interesting player this year.  If he does not increase his production, a second contract could be difficult.  It is possible that the Panthers are left with Smith and...............We could need 2 WRs very easily.

I defidently like most of your picks.  WR is a given.  If Davis and Beason stay healthy and we can hold onto Beason I would rather wait on OLB assuming our depth turns out ok.  I would want at TE, I really like 2 tight end sets, probably in the 2nd, maybe the 3rd depending on who is there.  Good teams take a QB every couple of years, I think we need to this year or next year, depending on our needs at the end of the season.  LT I would take higher up or wait until 2015, once again depending on how our season plays out.  I am ok with taking a lower round RB every year if we are getting anything out of the guys and hopefully that keeps us from ever having to use a high round pick on one.

This I would Love to get TE in the 2nd,  Eric Ebron from UNC would be a perfect target for Cam

 

1st: WR- Brandon Coleman, Big athletic Target for Cam, hopefully don't have bad enough season to be in position for Lee or Watkins

2nd: TE-Ebron, another Athletic Big Long Target for cam

3rd: OL: Seantrel Henderson

4th: QB: Logan Thomas- Big athletic project sitting under Cam and Anderson could groom out well in 1-2 years

5th: CB

6th: DL-Depth at DE or DT

7th: WR

 

 

Hold out for OL 1 and LB or CB 2 the next year
