Now are the Panthers better? What say you?

Push for now, wait until draft for final improvements.

How do we have no pass rush? How is it that we had 50 sacks, 3rd best, two DEs with over 10 sacks each and we have no pass rush? 

Blitz packages were not working so well at the end of the season.  When your down 4 cannot generate a pass rush, then you get killed in the playoffs

Is losing Coleman a plus or a minus?

Depends on who you replace him with.

Well, there is a hole there, so....

A rookie safety can’t be any worse.

Close, still need to account for Norwell.

Taylor Moton.

Yes definitely. Just need to draft a DE early to keep Peppers rotational and get a safety.

[Matthias]

I would say the defense looks better on paper with Breeland and Poe.  

[TN05]

The fact we're even asking this before the draft is incredible. And we have time to sign more people.

I'm very impressed. We're not just treading water.

[Toker Smurf]

Still worse. 

RB worse

Secondary worse

OLine worse

TE worse 

QB worse 

DLine even

WR better 

I do think that once the draft is over, we will be better (possibly before). 

[BigKing]

Have to see how the draft shakes out.  There is a lot of promise in four of the first 100 picks but they could also return zero in the way of production so it is too early to ask the question.

O-Line is worrisome.  I'm not sold on Smith whatsoever.  Happy with the defense so far, however.

Ditching Shula is still my favorite move of the off-season.

there was a hole there before we cut him tbh

The whole point was that he listed Shula who was not so popular, so why not Coleman

You lose a starting safety, you lose a starting safety

[MechaZain]

At worst it's the same talent wise but with Shula out and Samuel/Byrd healthy we will certainly be better

On paper we are improved.

The main thing Coleman had going for him was above average ball hawk skills. In terms of coverage we can upgrade there.

OL is still a concern. And we need another RB, but we still have the draft and cuts after TC to add more depth here and there.

He was a ballhawk in '15, but not so much the past two years.

Closer. A serviceable safety and I'm on board. Give me Honey Badger I'll rip my pants running to say yes.

Exactly.
