What is the minimum number of starters the Panthers need from this draft?

[New York Panther]

Without reading any comments. I'll go ahead and say 2.

A linemen on either side and a strong safety are big needs

I’ll be a realist and say we at the very least need two starters at FS, DL, OT. Doesn’t matter the combination but the two should come from one of those positions. If we do then playoffs are a given in my opinion and s SuperBowl run very likely with this team.

Looks like we're still looking for that day 1 starter.

Maybe day 3 will hold that special guy?

Ha! Like Hurn has ever drafted a 4th round starter.

A DE and LG would be nice. 

Looks like its gonna be 1 with an asterisk, bro.

Do you disagree?

So far they've gotten two. Little will have every chance to be the starting LT. Burns should get a lot of playing time at OLB and DE. 

[Edwurst]

We know that 20 other teams are getting 2 future pro bowlers, so then we know Hurney should get at least three first day starters or else he is worst GM of all time.

3 like every year.

Burns and Little will be starting before the season is over. Hopefully Miller and Scarlett will get a little playing time. Grier only will if Cam’s shoulder doesn’t hold up.

So technically this happened. 

 

Burns starts. 

Daryl Williams starts at guard due to the drafting of Little. 

 

Good draft,

I think it was a very good draft. 

Will Grier? People are reacting as if we took him in the first round--we got him for free (Norwell comp pick).  At WVU, he had some decent WRs--a poor OL, and not much behind him.  In the Panther offense, I argue that his skill set could be better than Cam's-if you consider that Cam's running ability should be waning and his accuracy is a bigger issue with shorter WRs. Cam is tough for WRs because he often disrupts the timing  of routes--we can't see what he sees, but there are times when he takes his drop and plants his foot without throwing out of that plant---when he does, he is accurate and effective.  The longer he waits, the worse he gets. While his accuracy did go up in 2018, his passes were shorter.  The offense has changed a lot since 2011, and I think Cam took a beating taking this team on his shoulders when we had no other weapons.  Grier has a pretty accurate deep ball, he throws screens very well, and he is very smart--suggesting that the game will slow down for him quickly.  I love Cam, but I am a realist, not willing to be blinded by a bleeding heart.  With a $38m contract on the 2021 horizon, what will they do?

I see potential starters in Grier, Burns, Little, and I think the others will play a role soon.  Daley is the sleeper of this draft--he has improved dramatically and is raw.  Give him a year with Matsko.
