I honestly think that he's done a good job so far. We've improved every position group except for LB (we already had the best in the league), and O-line. He's brought in a plethora of guys to compete for  LG, but I doubt any will be as good as Norwell (this year).  While his 2nd and 3rd round picks aren't the same CB and S that I would have grabbed, they are the positions most in need. Who am I to argue? You can't even argue most of these moves are big improvements.

Poe > Star, 

Cockrell/Jackson > Worley, 

Smith/ Moore > Benjamin, 

Wright > Bersin, 

Sercy/Gaulden > Coleman,

Thomas > Dickson

CJ > Stew (I love Stew, but his best days are behind him)

You're in denial about that secondary.

Serch/Gaulden are PS players

Cockrell = Worley until proven otherwise. Jackson will play nickel unless there's speedsters on the outside that are short. He's not covering Alshon.

Searcy nor Gaulden will be on PS. It’s fine to disagree, but no need to sensationalize. Searcy and Adams maybe be our starting safeties week 1. Out of necessity these guys will be on the 53 because we don’t have anyone to push them out

Only time will tell.  I admitted that Gaulden or Jackson would not have been my choices for S and CB, but I didn't get asked. Worley was already losing starts to Seymour last season and Cockrell and Jackson should be better than him. Cockrell is actually very good in Zone coverage and Jackson is fast enough to handle Man coverage and has good instincts.  Sercy /Gaulden vs Coleman may be a push, I have no idea how idea how Gaulden will play as a safety, BUT Coleman looked bad last year. Safety definitely remains an area of concern until Gaulden proves he's a starting safety or we sign one of the vets that's still out there. But I still think we're better than last year.

buuuuuuuuuuut thought we were running more man this year? Cockrell is a CB3-4. Not a starter. None of the secondary is a starter. at best, bradberry is CB2.

The Panthers were about $7 million below the salary cap before signing C.J. Anderson to a 1-year deal Monday (worth approximately $1.7 million with about $800,000 in incentives, according to a league source).

That’s enough to take care of the draft picks and undrafted free agents while staying under the cap (only the top 51 contracts count against it). But it doesn’t leave room for much else, unless Hurney wanted to free up space by converting the big salaries of Newton and middle linebacker Luke Kuechly to signing bonuses, for instance.

 
Wtf. Only 1.7 mil?  H2.0 keeps amazing me.
