PFF: Panthers Defensive line has been average. 17th best in the NFL.

DEFENSIVE LINE RANKING, WEEK 3: 17th
Star defensive interior Kawann Short is still getting the job done for the Panthers’ defense, as he leads the defense in overall grade (84.5), pass-rush grade (74.2) and total pressures (10). However, Short alone can’t carry Carolina’s defensive line atop this list, especially when edge defenders Bryan Cox Jr. (38.3) and Wes Horton (42.3) have turned in abysmal overall grades through Week 3.

I'm not surprised at all, honestly.

We gotta sign or draft a pass rusher in offseason

Im probably in the minority but it’s more of a need than safety.

Y’all got anymore of those English chaps?

IF Reid works out and we extend him on a reasonable contract then Edge and Oline will be the only two directions in the 1st next year.

Deepest Dline draft in years, so I'm sure we'll get whoever falls to us

Yep. I was saying to not draft a DE because the 2019 class is chock full of 4-3 DEs. I hope we go DE in first and I wouldn’t mind using the two thirds to make a move up. I was hoping the Clemson guys would have come out this year. Ferrell the DE looks amazing. He might have lasted to our pick. He might go top 5 next year. 

They don't have him going Top 5. They do have Oliver & Bosa going Top 5 though.

Mario has played well this year. I feel like they don’t give him enough credit.

Like ranking a team 3 weeks out is kinda stupid too. It's a small sample and highly dependent on team quality and play selections.

Bryan Cox is really really bad against the run.

Agree Edge is gonna be a huge need, if not the top need next offseason.

PFF is trash. I don’t completely disagree here, but doesn’t change that PFF is trash.

I mean, other than Bradberry the defense overall has been pretty average.

[Donald LaFell]

The d-line has rarely been as strong as people say. It’s really just been 2002, 2003 and 2013 that we have truly been at elite levels 

just need more bodies.

Even Luke has not looked like Luke.
