Which is more important to upgrade in your opinion? We all know we have many holes including nickle CB and possibly both safety positions, but the two most important areas to improve are O line and D line. We will not be able to fix both in one offseason with the cap and draft picks available.... so which one do you feel is most important to focus on? 

O line:

-As of right now we will start Kalil and Moton if Williams cannot be re signed after “testing the market.”

-Larsen at center who is solid but nothing spectacular in a very important role.

-Van Roten ranked the #48 OG by PFF which was average. We can upgrade but he played every snap and was solid. 

D Line:

-Addison is solid and should start.

-KK Short and Poe will start due to contracts no matter how much everyone complains.

-we have no other options currently at DE unless Pep decides to play one more year and then he would be in a pass rush role only not starting.

Offensive line

Draft the best offensive lineman available in round 1. Regardless of position. Then trade up in the 2nd round and and take the best offensive lineman available. We have to get serious about fixing the offensive line. It was to be our main priority by a long shot. Every QB that played for us got hurt behind our line. Look at what the Colts did. Their offensive line was horrible and it got Luck killed. They addressed it and have Luck one of the best lines in the NFL and he is playing at an MVP level. I would love to see what Cam could do behind a top 5 offensive line.

DE, assuming we do not need a qb.  Addison will be 32--Johnson hit the wall there--both carried more weight than their frame was probably comfortable carrying to play 4-3 DE.  Tough on the joints and quickness fades faster. 

We need 2 DEs.

We need C, DT, S, Nickel, T (unless you think Moton will sprout LT legs and arms over the winter), WR #4, and maybe backup QB.

DE is in code red.  When was the last good DE drafted/signed?  I don't count Hardy--he cra--Charles Johnson?  Ealy?  Haynes?  Norwood?  Alexander?  Brown? 

We cannot miss.

Defensive End and Offensive Tackle.  

Theyre both equally as important.  Cam has been getting punished in the pocket and accumulating bad shoulder injuries,  we need to protect him better. Its just a bad year to address it because we have 16th pick and not much cap space,  along with a free agent class of lineman that looks pretty pitiful.  

DE has also been a huge need over the last several years.  Our pass rush was horrible this year and we need to get much younger and faster on the dline.

DL and edge in specific. Our DT were still at least average this year just not dominant like we’ve had in the past from the interior. DE was absolutely atrocious and is the position we need to upgrade the most.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
