2018 Needs and the draft

[DaveThePanther2008]

I know we are in the heat of the playoffs and I hope we make a long run and change this position.

Currently NFL.com has us at 25 (Not sure why the 9-5 Chiefs are behind us.  so probably 26)

It should also be noted that our 3rd round pick from Buffalo will be 18 (give or take a spot or two)

I am pretty much in agreement.  I think Safety could be in this group too.

24. Carolina Panthers 
Record: 11-4 (.533) 
Top needs: OL, WR, DE 
The skinny: Carolina is in desperate need of a bell-cow at left tackle. Replacing guard Andrew Norwell could be a priority, as well, if he leaves in free agency. Wide receiver is another spot that appears to be a must-have position at some point early in the draft. Carolina needs a true edge bender with speed to get after the talented QBs in the NFC South.

[WOW!!]

Young Pass Rusher, DB, OT and a RB.

Draft wise..

FA

WR, secondary.. resign Norwell

Interesting. How do you think he would perform in two TE sets?

There is no way you let Norwell walk.

Top needs that have to be adressed this offseason either through draft or FA : 

1. Saftey
2. DE
3. WR
4. LT
5. CB

We absolutely can not afford to ignore saftey anymore, weve been putting free agent bandaids in the deep backfield for the longest time. I think we need to get either a saftey or a DE in R1 or R2 of the draft, theres no more excuses. Direly need to upgrade saftey and inject some youth into the position. 

My favorite prospects so far are (ofc just the ones we have a realistic shot at drafting so late in all the rounds) :

R1

• Ronnie Harrison , S, Alabama (2nd favorite overall prospect)
• Austin Bryant, DE, Clemson (Someone will take Ferrell way before we pick)
• Sam Hubbard , DE, Ohio State

R2

• Christian Kirk , WR, Tex A&M
• Mark Andrews , TE, Oklahoma
• Duke Ejiofor , DE, Wake Forest
• Parris Campbell, WR, Ohio State
• Anthony Miller, WR , Memphis

 

R3 

• Troy Fumagalli (Favorite prospect in this whole draft) , TE, Wisconsin
• Tavarus McFadden , CB, FSU

 

Be on the lookout for these dudes if they drop near to the bottom of the 1st for whatever reason (Simular to Ramzyck and Foster last year, couldve easily been top 10 picks in retrospect)

• Derwin James , S, FSU (probably the best possible pick for us  , however unlikely)
• Ardey Key , DE, LSU 
• Mike McGlinchey (OT), Connor Williams (OT), Orlando Brown (OT)
• Calvin Ridley , WR, Alabama

I have to ask, what is your fascination with the TE position?

[The Huddler]

Less neurotic fans

[ncfan]

1. Safety

2. WR

3. CB

4. Center 

5. DE

6. TE

 

Right now in order who I'd like the First 3 rounds

1st round

A. Joshua Jackson- as closests thing to Josh Norman to come out in several years.

B. Ronnie Harrison- Athletic SS. Safety has been The biggest weak point on this team this year.

C. Christian Kirk- athletic WR.  WR core is terrible here now and could come right in and start.

D. Billy Price- will be a reach here but he is a late 1st early 2nd guy.  I dont expect Ryan Kalil to be here much longer.  Price is a mauler Center.

 

 

2nd round:

A. Billy Price- if he somehow falls, its a win

B. Deshon Elliot- see above with Harrison

C. Armani Watts

D. Donte Jackson

 

3rd round

A. Donte Pettis

B. Frank Ragnow

C. Josh Sweat

D.  Troy Fumagalli 

E. Anthony Miller

F. Porter Gustin

G. Michael Gallup

 

 

We'll resign Norwell, even if it involves cutting Ryan Kalil which open 7.5 mil in order to keep Norwell long tern

[methodsofmadness]

As a Georgia fan, I would be ecstatic with Nick Chubb at RB. He would be a perfect compliment to McCafrey as power back. Any time I see him run, reminds me a little of Ray Rice.

Sticking in the SEC, getting a true playmaker at WR in Calvin Ridley would br HUGE for this team but doubt he would be available when we pick.

Other needs include safety, DE, OT, OG, and c

Replace DB with safety and this is right on the money
