Needs (in the order I see them---since you can't build a new team in one draft, you have to be realistic--you can't say "QB" if there is no line.

1.  Center---Paradis has been abysmal.

2. Defensive Tackle (DT/DE)---Short and Poe are all we have.   Love should retire, Butler is not playing as well as everyone here says he is, and McCoy could be done.  We are old.

3. Wide Receiver---We need one more stud. Samuel is a slot.  Moore is probably a WR2.

4. Free Safety---Boston cannot tackle and seems to go to great links making people think he is trying to tackle.

5.  Defensive End---without knowing the D we will be running, it is hard to say what kind of player we need--

6. Guard---While Van Roten is serviceable, we need a LG who can pass block, drive block, and pull.  VR does 1 well.

7.  Nose Tackle--Poe is all we have.

 

Some will argue, "Where is the QB?  Where is the LT?"

I would argue that they could be on the roster.  We need to fix the problems above before evaluating QB.  We need to let Daley and Little develop at LT and compete.  Perhaps the loser can compete at LG.

We've been doing the DLine or the entire defense no favor prioritizing them. I would go full knee jerk and just prioritize on OLine.

I don't disagree, but if a guy like Auburn's Derrick Brown is available when you're picking and the top OT are gone (and the couple that are worth it will likely be gone within the Top 10) then you take the DT because he's a lot better than any of the available remaining OL picks.

"Best player available" isn't a 100% effective strategy, but its always the best strategy in the 1st round... especially if you are picking in the top half of the 1st round.

Aren't? 7 teams have 3 or fewer wins. That's almost 1/4th of the NFL. That's a lot of teams to be this bad after 12 games. There's also another 4 teams at 4-8. We aren't getting an "awesome" pick. First, we have to go 5-11 or we will be picking in the mid-teens. If we go 5-11, I think there's a good chance we get to pick 10 or possibly better. I think we have the lowest SOS of the current 5-7 teams, but only lower than a few teams below 5-7, so we need someone like LAC or Denver or Atlanta to win 1 or 2 more.

5-11 is looking more and more possible every game. It doesn’t get easier than Washington at home.

Any single move up the draft chart is better than a useless Ron Rivera "look at me how great am I!" win.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
