Bradberry did well down the stretch. He's shaping up to be a good zone CB in the mold of maybe a stiffer Chris Gamble. Worley did not stand out and looked like a JAG. We might have an opportunity to replace a serviceable non-playmaker with a shutdown CB in Lattimore. That kind of speed and ball hawk ability is critical for slowing down high powered offenses. Gettleman doesn't mind about snapping up a DT when he's already invested in DT, and he wouldn't care about grabbing another CB assuming he likes Lattimore. 
Yes Captain is our stop gap for the slot. That's not stopping us from taking Lattimore assuming Getti likes him of course.
DE is a bigger need, but the draft does not yield an elite DE at 8. It might offer the best CB in the draft. A shutdown CB. An immediate starter and playmaker day 1. 
 
 


Our defense does not require a shut down corner. Our corners mainly play cover 3 and always get safety help over the top so having a shut down corner is not a priority. And Derrek barnett is a good de. I would say julius peppers is a stop gap because he signed a mere 1 yr deal. Hes gone after this year. Cap on the other hand is here for 4 years assuming he stays but I wouldn't call him a stop gap. Our corners are fine. Especially knowing lattimore is plagued with so many injuries. If he had no injury history, id see an argument in taking him. But i dont see that. No point in risking taking a top 10 player who might not even play in half the games. And those injuries take a toll. His production will be affected if he continues to have surgeries. And a BIG reason why gettleman took butler was because star and kk were nearing the end of their deals. Butler was drafted incase star or kk leave, we have a good hog molly ready to roll. We managed to sign kk but i doubt we sign star. We have a cheaper option in butler so i doubt we offer star a legitimate contract. Also, of we must take a flyer on a cb with injury concerns, id much rather give up a 2nd for sidney jones.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
