In order for us to get over the hump I feel these moves or SOME of these moves (obviously we won't do all of them) need to be made in this coming FA period.

1.) Eric Weddle - would clearly shore up the backend of our secondary and would be a huge addition. This seems like a marriage guaranteed to happen.

2.) Janoris Jenkins - I could only imagine how unreal the combination of Jenkins and Norman would look. Problem is Jenkins wants to get paid and play as a #1. But let's say Gman had a plan of landing Jenkins for CHEAPER than what an extension with Norman would cost next offseason. It would be interesting to see us let Norman walk next offseason and use the difference between Jenkins and Norman to keep our defensive tackles intact next offseason. To me keeping Star and Short is more important than Norman as much as I love him here, and Jenkins would be a great backup plan.

3.) Ladarius Green - He's VERY athletic and can block... He obviously wants an opportunity to be a number 1 Te after being in Gates shadow for years. We would have to sell him on the fact that in our offense him and Olsen would both essentially be number 1s and used in tandem almost every down. I feel another TE is a must for us to progress from how we finished last season. Having a dual threat TE to go with olsen is huge because we can leave one in to block and help the tackles while still not taking away from the passing game. 

4.) Lamar Miller - How can the number 1 rushing offense possibly get better? The answer is PURE SPEED. Lamar Miller would be an X factor for our offense, and would look amazing in the read option with Cam. We are in need of speed in the back field. Don't get me wrong Stewart is a phenomenal between the tackles RB, but our backfield does lack break away speed to keep the defense honest.

5.) Anquan Boldin - This move to me seems long over due and I felt we should have traded for him when the 49ers did. That said at this point in his career he's not a number 1, but is obviously a solid upgrade over Cotchery (who is not coming back). Also underrated is his blocking ability and in our offense to me that is more crucial than his effectiveness in the passing game.

These are my top 5 options in no particular order. I personally didn't include an offense line move because I feel we will be addressing that some point in the draft along with DE. Let me know what you guys think, would you be happy with these moves, or do you have some other guys on your radar?

Yeah, I can almost guarantee none of these dudes are in charlotte next year. Every single one of those dudes want to get paid more than we are willing. So unless one of those guys just gets NO interest from teams for a week, they won't be suiting up for CAR next season.

 

Doesn't mean I wouldn't want them to!

Boldin would probably take a fair deal, actually.

Not sure about the others though.

1. Scott Chandler

2. Louis Delmas

3. Pacman Jones

4. Reggie Bush

That list is at least more reasonable. We could not even afford one on the other list except maybe Boldin.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
