I am the Seattle GM. I have seen what Darnold does when he is not protected and what he can do when he has a pocket. Darnold is 27. I build the best OL in the NFL. I bring in some WRs. I do not put him on the field with substandard protection or weaponry. You could have a QB for the next 8-10 years if you stack the deck.

Geno. The Raider OL is pretty good and they have a pretty good TE and pretty good (underrated) WRs. But I would not rule out Fields--Id run a lot of pistol, R/P option, and build the OL. He will need weapons.

Shy Tuttle game footage.

I think he will have to compete. I would still draft a DE (3-4) on day 3--there is some talent that deep.

I understand that he is a good locker room guy, but not a good football field guy. He has a history of playing better, but he sucked last year. In fact, his pay should not be cut--he should have to buy a ticket.

Not sure where this is coming from---we will be able to pay a LT if he has earned it. Nobody knows the cap situation in 2 years. Core players get re-signed. Our $150m guards will be ending their deals and over 30. Restructure, cut, etc.

Easy to draft him too

A stud RT who is great at pass pro. All day long in the third

It is leaning to the offense in the draft now. If we don't sign a WR this week, how do you pass on TMac?

what have you heard about him eyeing Stewart?

Prioritized Needs: Free Safety Wide Receiver Linebacker Edge Secondary Needs: Right Tackle (very important secondary need) Tight End (This could be a primary need, depending on perspective) Running Back (Sanders might agree to a pay cut, stay tuned) Corner (It is possible that Evans and/or Bartholomew earned a depth spot at the end of the season. Both were good down the stretch) Defensive End (3-4) Inside Linebacker That is how I see it---

They called us losers when we missed out on the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes a few years ago too. These turds don't know crap. Neither do we. But i feel good about today.

I guess depth behind Brown (NT). He was terrible last year--and I am assuming that the pay cut does not make him immune from being cut.

Yeah Brown is a better fit to meet our biggest need. Wharton can come in and rush the passer--7 sacks? Pretty solid.

We are keeping Tuttle?

I am relieved the Milton deal fell through--about like I was when Cleveland stole Watson from us.

Reading tea leaves: The draft is pretty solid at DT (3-4 DE). I don't think Wharton, and Brown change the fact that we could draft one. Pat Jones does not eliminate a need at Edge. I think we will draft a pure pass rusher. We are still razor thin at CB. Getting Jackson back was huge for us, however. I am not sure how much they like Evans and Bartholomew, but both (especially Evans) played pretty well down the stretch. Good enough depth? Conspiracy theory: Draft Will Johnson and play Jackson at nickel. It seems to me that we now have 2 Strong Safeties. We need a free safety or two. I heard nothing about TE or WR today. Does that mean we will draft those positions? I really like about 4 Tight Ends in this draft, maybe 5. WR? I think the draft is more of a gamble, but I am wondering about TMac right now. The focus in free agency on defense makes sense. Evero has types and in free agency, you can match a skill set to your needs with more precision than the draft. The focus was on stopping the run, and with the exception of Wharton, every defensive player excels in that area. Pass rush is still a concern, imo.

Noooooo! A fifth round rookie would too.

John Donne? Nice!!!

I missed Tershawn Wharton. Just stumbled over it. Here is how I see the DE Milton Williams failed deal ($26m per year). The Panthers then sign NT Bobby Brown for $7m and DE Wharton for $18m. In other words, the Panthers get 2 solid players for $25m-- $1m less than the Milton contract. WHAT PANTHERS GOT FOR $25m (combined): DE Tershawn Wharton: 7 sacks, 68.3 pass rush grade. 44.3 run defense grade. NT Bobby Brown: 0 sacks, 67.7 run defense grade. Overall PFF rating: 63.3 WHAT PATRIOTS GOT FOR $26m: Milton Williams: 6 sacks, 90.0 pass rush grade. 43.1 run defense grade.

So Mike Jackson got a two-year, $14.5 million deal. That is a good length and amount. IMO, we need another CB. Smith-Wade (NB), Jackson, and Horn is not that strong and it is thin. Maybe we can draft one or pick up another. Man, this roster was bare.

yep

two effeminate men and a drugged up wife beater. (too soon?)

Cuts that could follow and savings: Shy Tuttle $3.2 (I think we can get equal productivity out of a day 3 rookie draft pick) DJ Wonnum $6.2 (I don't see this--I see Wonnum and Jones both playing the strong Edge. Cuts will be to Johnson and maybe Barno) Nijman $3.5 (May wait to see if we draft a T--remember, Cade Mays played T in college) M. Sanders $6.2 (He has a bonus payout coming up in a few days. He is GONE. J. Clowney $7.75 (For an established edge with a little tire tread left, you probably can't cut Clowney) Barno $1m DJ Johnson $1m THat is about all the meat I could pick off the bone. I am NOT suggesting that we cut them all. I normally don't get into salaries, but these #s come from OTC. https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/carolina-panthers
