REPORT:  other NFL teams embarrassed after report that Panthers were ahead of them in preparing for the future.  Many started hiring college scouts to try and catch up, while secretly hoping it's not too late.

I HOPE HURNEY, TEPPER, WHOEVER THE NEW GM IS, AND THE SCOUTING DEPT HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTED. 

fug, yeah, cocaine?

I would not be mad if we drafted Calvin Ridley's younger big brother. Most have him as a mid-rounds right now. He'd be a solid Funchess replacement.

Not going to pretend to know much about a ton of potential draft picks yet, but out of NC State guys...

• Ryan Finley (QB) - Round 3-4 - No. We need a backup, but no thanks. 
• Kelvin Harmon (WR) - Round 1 or 2  - - Funch replacement and upgrade.  Cam would have Moore, Samuel, and Harmon to grow with over the next few years. 
• Garrett Bradbury (C) - Round 3-4 - - Kalil replacement.  I'd possibly lean more towards a guy who has guard experience as well, but with Kalil retiring...we need a center.  Larsen might be that guy already, but meh. 
• Germaine Pratt (OLB) - Round 3-4 - - Depending on TD and our young drafted LBs last year, this is a luxury pick.  Personally I'm about tired of the Shaq Thompson experiment, though.  
  • We picked up Shaq's 5th year option - - but save 9 million cutting him...

ACC guys in the first round...

• Clemson - Clelin Ferrell, Christian WIlkins, Dexter Lawrence (all three may be gone)
• BC - Zach Allen (DE) - Good pass rusher & good against the run.  McShay says he has a little Cameron Jordan in him...I'll take that. 
• FSU - Brian Burns (DE) - Still a little raw and needs to add some weight, but potential is crazy

We could use some DL and OL help and then RB and Secondary.  On another point still not sure who will be our starting kicker next year.

[Definitely Not Trolling]

so were targeting a QB?

It's not like GMs just sit around and twiddle their thumbs this time of year. Every GM should be working on this right now. 

I just hope that it's all for naught. We need a reboot next year. I'm hoping Tepper cleans house after the season.

Plus there's kind of like a whole staff of scouts and people and stuff...yeah.

I'm pretty sure they're...you know... scouting around this time of year.

But the notion that anybody is setting their positional priorities for the draft right now is a little silly. That kind of thing generally doesn't take place until after free agency.

Can't choose your draft targets until you know what free agents you signed.

As to the staff, GM's get fired in the offseason. Scouting departments tend to get fired shortly after the draft.

Pass rush and defensive back for two straight years is a-okay with me.  The entire dline needs rebuilt and so does the secondary for the most part.

[KillerKat]

doesn't matter if we have the same coaches and staff next year

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Dream offseason

Fire Rivera (GTFO)

Fire Hurney (sorry Hurndog i just dont think you are good enough, decent attempt at a comeback)

Draft Ed Oliver (next warren sapp)
