Josh Norman will get snapped up by San Francisco, Rams, Oakland or another team desperate to win. I wouldnt be surprised if he is signed before the week is out.  But given we are not going to expect a rookie to start at corner through the draft, who are we going to bring in.  Do we resign Peanut if his rehab is going well, bring in another guy like Cromartie on a 1 or 2 year prove it contract, or sign someone younger who is relatively unknown.  Move Boykin to the outside and bring in another nickel guy or something else???

I think we must have something in the works already or we wouldnt have let him go.  What says the huddle???

Is Chris Gamble available? Seriously though, Getty has a back-up plan, he's had one during the entire back and forth with Norman. Pretty sure if he doesn't think there's a decent corner available he will bulk up on the d-line and ensure our pass rush wreaks havoc.

It's a good draft for CB/DBs. Trust scouting and target a couple UDFAs, ie spend a little more money in SB.

Also the result of deep class- cuts. There will be a few players get the pink slip and one or two should be a panther fit.

      JOE PERSON: the sense around league circles is Panthers will take Jalon Walker @8

      By MHS831 · Posted

      There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By Icege · Posted

      Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does). The kid's got a shot; he's just going to need it somewhere that's going to aim first before firing him off.

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By Icege · Posted

      Evero runs Vic Fangio's scheme and leans heavily on cover 4 with disguised coverages. It is not predominantly cover-2 as suggested. This means that the box safety is going to likely be covering 1/4th as opposed to 1/2 of the field. Whomever the team brings in to be the boundary safety (unless they stay with Demani) is going to be covering the 1/2 part. Though with Evero's scheme, that box safety can also be one of the three underneath coverage guys depending on how they've got it disguised prior to the snap.
