The Carolina Panthers won't sign another significant veteran receiver. They may sign camp bodies, but no one that will be on the final roster. Russell Shepard will not be released until after the draft. He is now playing the role of insurance just in case the Panthers can't manage to get an acceptable receiver in rounds 1 or 2. When the Panthers do manage to get a receiver, he will be released. 

I suspect DJ Moore is on the radar as he would be able to contribute everywhere immediately. In the slot or on the outside. Kid can do anything the Panthers need. I do feel round two is more likely than round 1, and a possible trade up in that situation. The first half of round two looks to be a sweet spot for receivers.

I love DJ moore...

We have to add a starting free safety to the roster.  I think they like Demetrious Cox as depth there. 

We need a DE--Peppers might be the only addition, if he returns.

We sorta need a starting LG.  This will probably be a free agent.  Rivera, No. Silatolu sucks.

We need a Starting #1 CB since "Lockdown" Worley is an Eagle.  Do you know how much it would suck to be a new guy on a defending championship roster?  Sitting there for ring ceremonies and stuff.

We also need key rotational or backups at these positions:

Tight End

Defensive Tackle

Running Back

Damn I hate to sound like another, less popular poster, but watch the TE from Penn State in Round 2 and a RB in round 3.  Personally, I think we are drafting a CB or S in round 1.  We will have a better idea in 3 weeks.

Peppers, safety and a DE in the draft.

Safety and Corner ...I think who we have is fine for DE if we get Peppers back...

Ronnie Harrison in the 1st if possible trade back to the top of the 2nd and a 4th

Hurst or Dallas in the 2nd

Chubb in the 3rd (1)

Jesse Bates III in the 3rd (2)

If we trade back and get a 4th, draft Siran Neal who would replace D Worley 

In the 5th draft BJ Hill DT

Package both 7ths and our 6th to move up for Colby Gossett G 

We need youth in our D big time. 

On O I agree we need TE depth and G depth.

Next year target DE, LB, T, C, and clean up our depth.

I don't want to give up anything higher than a 4th which we don't have this year. According to the value chart it takes like the 7th or 8th pick in the fourth to move up from 24th to 16th in the second round.

We all know Hurney will draft a WR that nobody has ever heard of I'm the second.  They will be a big disappointment and out of the league in a year or two. Hurnet does it every draft 

[CatMan72]

Love DJ Moore, but drafting a WR is not a quick fix. Need to hope Samuel emerges and Smith still has plenty left in the tank.

[NYPantherFan]

I hate to say it, but I don't think Shepard is going anywhere. 

[Palmetto]

The team shouldn't be talking about draft strategy

8-8 season incoming folks.  I know you don’t want to hear it, but it’s happneing.

I'm fine with this, we've crossed off (partially) our biggest need and now we focus on other positions in need of upgrades. 

- DE - Peppers decision is huge. if he retires we are in a bad spot due to UFA class at DE being nonexistent. 

- CB - We don't need top notch corner to replace Worley, a mid-range UFA can easily be an upgrade.

- FS - We're absolutely adding a vet through free agency. Someone like ex-Clemson man Marcus Gilchrist would make sense. 

- TE - With all the talk of WR you guys are forgetting another way we can help Cam. I would love for us to make a run at Tyler Eifert but he's a major health risk.             Someone like Dion Sims (once he's released) would make more sense for us.

This sounds exactly like what we will do.

This sounds exactly like next offseason we will be in the same position we are now. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Shepard is insurance for just in case we need a WR who doesn't catch any passes and special teams ace capable of tying for 72nd in the NFL in special teams tackled.

Shepard is worthless.
