...and a couple of guys on this list who would look good in a Panther's uniform next year.

This should probably be in the NFL Draft forum but nobody reads that this time of year. Allen Bailey, the DT out of Miami is a freak and is probably a top-15 pick if he comes out early. Our defense could use a DT that can dominate from the inside--I like our guys just fine, but we could use some more depth, and I'd rather have the luxury of using Damione Lewis as a rotational, third down guy.

I think Taylor Mays could be another Adrian Wilson, but I also think that he, along with Sam Bradford and Gerald McCoy from Oklahoma, will have their draft stock negatively affected somewhat, like Matt Leinart, by them returning to school. All three would have probably been the first picked at their position last year, but i think this year some stud underclassmen will steal their thunder.

Mays is an awesome hitter, but i think he might struggle in coverage in the NFL, and Eric Berry, the SS from Tennessee, is just a better player and should be a top-5 pick. McCoy is great, but he could be the 2nd or 3rd DT taken if the hype I'm hearing about Ndamukung Suh (Nebraska) is true. And you never know when the light will come on for Marvin Austin (UNC).

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
