I'd get Washington for extra protection for Young... TE with the blocking ability of an OT. Still got Brents at corner, who we're pretty high on. Sanders who we met with... Or BPA... Idunno how you pass on Meyer or Hyatt is they're available. I'm thinking we trade back. That said, Edge is still a need.
-
Just from my viewpoint: CJ's not quite comfortable with the nationally televised interviews just yet. But he has a confidence I like in a QB. I think the team would rally behind him. Behind the scenes he seems like the type of teammate you'd want in your locker room. Has that fire in him. With Young, the Bryce you get here is the Bryce you get at all times. Just a calm collected dude. More of a lead by example type...media training not a priority in the least. Seems coachable.. Lol, it's almost like a lesser charismatic Cam vs Wilson personality matchup. Idunno, just give me the one with the most heart and determination. The one that hates to lose. Either way I'll be happy. Wanted Stroud at first but Bryce is growing on me.

"There was one receiver last week..."
ColumbusCounty replied to Mr. Scot's topic in Carolina Panthers
Charlie Jones Who btw is on my short list of gems that could develop into big time players. While we're at, Wr's also on that list Addison, Rice and Flowers. And also while were at it: This TE class is disturbingly talented. IMO the ceilings for Meyer, Kincaid, Musgrave and LaPorta are extremely high. Really like this draft at WR, TE, Rb, db and edge. ALOT of value in that top 150-200. I imagine we're trading back at some point. -

We should see what this coaching staff can do with his potential. If the pick is Bryce, he'd be an ideal backup. And Iirc, in Young's Heisman year, Corral was in the running as well. I wouldn't give up on him just yet. He actually does have talent. Only thing is, whoever we draft is a lock. As well as Dalton. That leaves Eason and Corral to battle it out. Uphill climb for Corral as I speculate Eason to Reich is a different version of PJ to Rhule.

I wanted a WR to pair with whichever QB we end up with but seeing as of today our WR room consists of: Adam Thielen DJ Chark Terrace Marshall Jr. Damiere Byrd Shi Smith Lavishka Shenault Jr. Preston Williams CJ Saunders I dont think WR is as high on the priority list as I originally thought. Contract duration and injury concerns should be enough to keep our eyes open on the position. We might have a suprise cut coming down the line. Imo, if we stay at 39 and a certain corner is on the board, I think they bite. And quickly. That corner is Julius Brents. He's going to develop into a star corner imo but I think the word is alread out. His name is starting to pop up everywhere. I also think we already met with him but I'm not 100% for certain off the top of my head. Without a trade down, we'd probably be looking at choosing between JB, Darnell Washington, Drew Sanders, Jack Campbell, Avila, Brian Branch, Kincaid, Gibbs, Simpson, Uzomah, Ojulari, White, Musgrave, LaPorta, Downs etc. That's just based off the few dozen mocks I've either seen or did. That's a helluva pool to choose BPA from. But If we do trade down I'm hoping we stay inside that top 50.
-
Also I wouldn't sleep on Henry To'o To'o. Or Sewell and Simpson on the inside. If we want an OLB or ILB one will be there @ 39 but I get the feeling offensive skill position will be the pick. Sanders will probably be first off the board with Campbell close behind or vice versa. If I'm looking for an OLB in 3-4: IF that's the move at 39, I'm looking for Will McDonald or Nolan Smith. Smith might slide because he's kinda small but he's so athletic he could probably line up anywhere and be productive. Will McDonald paired with Burns though...smdh. That could be nightmare. The run might suffer as he grows but imo he's a special talent. If he has any type of work ethic for his craft, that man will be a dominant force ... I'd bet the house on that.
-
In terms of being here: I like Jack more in a 4-3 but I can imagine Sanders will be a problem in a 3-4 out the gate. Would not suprise me if the Steelers drafted Drew.
-
Yea pretty sure if Sanders or any of the top 5 receivers are there, that's the move. I wouldn't be mad at CB either
-
Wtf song is that ..... I cant even concentrate on the the player....and I'm an actual music producer lol... Gotta run it back on mute.

Would it not be smart to keep M.C around?
ColumbusCounty replied to Jmac's topic in Carolina Panthers
Yea I'm in favor of keeping him around just based on potential. My boy did lead an SEC team to double digit wins BUT... Reich has been tied to Eason for so long... unless we plan on hiding Corral on the practice squad, at which point he'll likely be took by New England. -
Good Question.. What type of edge do you want..
ColumbusCounty replied to Sub Zero's topic in Carolina Panthers
Felix has some serious power. McDonald and Burns would be a helluva combo. Lol, watch the Rams pick him. I can already see Drew Sanders in a panthers uniform although he wont be there when we pick again. He'll probably be a Cowboy. -
Live video of Fitterer / Reich making the trade to #1

"Jack Campbell no matter what" -
When they asked Fitt. Iirc he was talking like he'd be the first option next to Shaq. Idunno how effective it would be but in my mind I can imagine good things from: Burns-Luvu-Shaq-Chinn Bro I have no idea what this staff has in mind. Thought I heard him also say Donte and Henderson outside with Jaycee in nickel.

Dear Chicago and media…. About that first next year…..
ColumbusCounty replied to TheBigKat's topic in Carolina Panthers
Maybe.... or you do the Brock Purdy. Bears will not have a top 5 pick. Most teams picking a rookie QB have several other holes to fill... most of the time it's an Offensive line or a garbage defense. This was team with Rhule's fingerprints on it and we damn near made the playoffs with the scraps he left. Hell, delete Mayfield and make 1 more field goal and we'd probably be picking in late teens/early 20s. With our defensive personnel ...the new play callers and "actual" coaches..our Oline solidified and improved with a more experienced version Ekwonu... proven playmakers on offense (that actually get TDs..**not a shot at Moore**... the 2nd most cap space in the league and almost an entire draft to pick BPA + the #1 pick. We get the new benefit of udfas and Fa's that actually would want come here now along with cuts from other teams 53 supplement what we already have... yea bro the different variables equate to a different result (If we stay relatively healthy that is). Bottom line: With our D, If this offense can put up 24-27 pts regularly, we'd be deep in the playoffs every season. Thats wat... 3 tds and a field goal... or 1 TD a quarter. If we can manage that I can guarantee you we'd never sniff a top 10 pick again. -
I don't think people really understand how good this man could be here lol. If he stays healthy I vividly remember when he came 2 Charlotte with the Jags and Minshew. My eyes were already on him as he's been on my radar since the senior bowl (where he was basically uncoverable). Anyway noone in our secondary could stop this man.. not LB Chinn, not Ross Cockrell, Boston or Bradberry. Iirc he had like 3 Tds that game. Also: I have a strong feeling that TMJ is going to break out. Reminds me of how I felt about Brown last offseason. And that was before and not counting the new position coaches + offensive OC + whoever #1 QB is + the guidance from Adam & Chark. That might also cut into his target share. Just depends on how Reich & Brown plan on using him.
-
Not entirely...thats just based Fitts with the "sexy" draft comments. I left out Josh Downs as he would fit that category too. I actually wouldnt mind if we went with Trenton Simpson, Drew Sanders or Jack Campbell at MLB...or Cam Smith, Ringo @ cb. Lots of choices with that 2nd pick. Who ever we bring in for visits will be telling. Another guy I wouldn't mind is Will McDonald... Carter II out of Army also. I didn't even mention DT, S, or Oline but we do have options at that pick. Fitts did look a little uncomfortable/undecided discussing our inside linebacker position.
-
Lol the draft will go Young and Gibbs at #39 Or... Stroud and Hyatt/Flowers at #39 Or... Either of the above + Darnell Washington. Either way, smh I cant remember when we've been this active in FA. 7 months ago we were in complete football hell... complete 180 in every department. Good time to be a fan. Chark, Adam and TMJ: SOLID. Chark with Speed, Adam with route running, TMJ with the pure potential to combine both skillsets.

Bears would have accepted Moore, Burns or Brown.
ColumbusCounty replied to Varking's topic in Carolina Panthers
WR's are easier to find. As much of a DJ fan as I was, he would disappear quite often. DJ could rack up YAC but he always had a problem getting in the endzone, dating back to Maryland. He's been here around 5 years and barely cracked 20 combined. For reference, Thielen had 30 combined the last 3 years. And that'll likely be our slot guy. We've already upgraded in the TD department ...and I think at minimum another FA and a high draft pick are on the way. Burns: If you get a proven pass rusher you keep that pass rusher (See Reddick) ... you can't just bet on high draft picks to duplicate that production (See Yetur) Brown: Brown hasn't even hit his ceiling yet. We don't even know how dominate he can actually become. If he continues his trajectory he will be MONSTER. He played like Pro Bowler last season. Let's see what another year and better coaching can do. Yea, I think DJ was the right choice. Just my 2cents. -
This is why I'm hoping Hyatt or Flowers can make it #39... In every mock website I do, he's always there and Zach Evan's also (later). That's actually how I predicted Shaq and Funchess that one year. We are missing that speed threat.
-
At ILB we have more flexibility than CB. I'm not looking for pro bowler(although I'd take it), just atleast 1 "quality"/average backup. Right now the two ilb's are probably Shaq and Luvu(he has experience). Backed up by Brandon Smith and Mosby..It's not the all pro team but I'd still be more comfortable with a Brandon Smith starting before Henderson and/or Taylor (based off last season). Just watch the Steelers and last Bucs game for reference. Hell its debatable which position is thinnest on almost every level of our 3-4, except S and OLB. DE might be thinner than ilb imo.....and noone knows where Yetur may end up. BUT if I had to address both, I'd actually be looking for an inside linebacker in FA and I'd use a late rounder on corner. Cb is alot deeper than MLB in this draft iirc. QB we have #1 pick for. Dalton and Eason on the clipboards.

How Carolina can / has already Improved the Passing Game
ColumbusCounty replied to MHS831's topic in Carolina Panthers
There are several reasons to be optimistic about TMJ. I think the reason Rhule benched him was the same reason he drafted him. And probably the reason we signed Teddy year one, Joe Brady. I could be wrong but my mind tells me Marshall was drafted 2021 off the insistence of Brady. Being his main advocate, when Brady got fired half way through the season Marshall's production, reps, and snaps took a nose dive. He shows up to training camp and over performs which puts pressure on the staff. Then he gets injured and subsequently put on the back burner as CJ Saunders starts to impress. He's then labelled a bust by many until Rhule is fired and Wilks takes over and injects him in the gameplan. Now we're seeing the flashes almost weekly. (All my speculation) Side note: And I can almost guarantee you that seeing Burrow, Chase and Jefferson go crazy in the NFL plagues his mind. In an ideal situation he's that possession receiver we need. Hopefully he's working on this route running. And, idunno Reich might have a two TE system in mind with how deep this draft is. But it is evident we're looking for a WR after kicking the tires on Thielen and Chark. Just feels good knowing we have play callers that can actually adjust to the players strengths. Shanualt just has to be utilized correctly, Cordarrelle Patterson-esque. At Colorado he ran the wildcat alot, esp in the redzone, that's about the only thing I dont wanna see him do here. But he is a physical presence and a playmaker. My eyes are on Flowers and Hyatt. CJ or Bryce with one of them would be the move. Maybe Downs also. I'd love Marvin Harrison Jr if CJ was the pick but we wont be anywhere near able to pick him up next year. Side note 2: Originally I thought we moved up for Bryce. That switched to CJ.. now it's back to Bryce. His processing and ability to extend plays are damn near elite. That size just scares me to death. CJ's accuracy and 41 Tds last year is insane though. Bryce has always been the #1 QB since highschool. CJ would be "safe" option, while Young is actually the better prospect all around. We cant go wrong with either but I could see half of Charlotte explode if it's not CJ. Just a rant, dont mind me. -
Another LB would be cool but Im thinking we need to key in on 2 glaring spots that are paper thin... CB and WR. With healthy corners we would have won the division imo. And as much as I LOVE Jaycee, he's not even a half season guarantee. Jackson isnt either. I dont repeat that next year. We shouldn't ever wanna see Taylor & Henderson starting in tandem again unless some serious strides are made. We could probably get by with one but if both our starters go down it's a wrap. We need that receiver on the books or 2 possibly. I'd take Jack on this roster though, I think the above is more pressing but he'd be an improvement to whoever he replaced here. But if we signed him I got a feeling it would probably be on one of the more rare 1 year contracts we've given. And Idunno what our cap looks like in realtime but I'm assuming the 2023 slot is almost maxed out.
