Sorry for him but we need an upgrade there - hope we get it.

Great write up!  I too believe that they will try to stash the UDFA's as well as a couple of last year's acquisitions on the practice squad this year.  They will probably lose a few to other teams but that's what happens when you are stacked with depth.  It's a good problem to have.

10 O-lineman is a lot of beef.  

Guess Kyle Love is getting the axe.

at this point i see no argument against this projection.  lots can change in spartanburg though.  great job as usual

Don't really need 5 DTs when we have 4 studs and Ealy can play there in a pinch

Do you really think Swayze makes it over Scifres?

At this point I haven't seen anything to the contrary. I have seen some say Waters has looked poor but I haven't seen it that way.

I would be surprised if they kept only five LBs or had as many as eleven DBs. Under Rivera the Panthers have never opened with fewer than six linebackers ('11 - 8, '12 -7 , '13 - 6, '14 -6, '15 - 6), and they have never opened with more than ten defensive backs ( ('11 - 9 (5cb/4s), '12 -9 (4cb/5s) , '13 - 10 (6cb/4s), '14 -9 (4cb/5s), '15 - 9 (4cb/5s)).

Your projection after mini camp last year projected 11 dbs as well (they kept 9). Maybe non-contact drills make the guys in the back look better than when they get in pads?

Any chance we ever roll with just 2 QB's

nope...Webb plays special teams

I still can't see us keeping 10 Oline.  Either Foucault or Hawkins are decent and we keep one of them as #9 and one of them on the PS, or we sign a Free Agent as #9 and keep one or both of Foucault / Hawkins on the PS.  

Especially with the new PS rules allowing 4 guys with 2 accrued seasons, I think we'll see more borderline guys who are valuable depth and might have a slim shot on the 53 (Bersin, Norwood, Foucault, Wegher ....)  instead be stashed on the PS.  We may lose a few of them, but I think there are other players ahead of them who need the reps they'll get by being on th5 53.  

Can't imagine us not keeping 6 LBs - both for ST and given that we may lose Klein after this season. -  I'm thinking they may want to be grooming Mayo with more defensive snaps, thus less ST snaps.

You've obviously seen more than us, but put me in the corner of shocked if Simonson makes the roster and Dickson doesn't. Not only did Dickson make the roster last year, he also played a lot of snaps. It will be interesting to see how this develops. With Olsen still around, I figure it all comes down to who the best blocker is.

If Sandland proves to be the second best TE on the team and gets the second amount of snaps after Olsen, who would you keep as the third TE? Simonson or Dickson?

:( I miss Jeremys forum posts when they were intended for just us.  Now we get redirects.  Kicks a can. Just not the same.  Walks off sulking.
