2020 Panthers draft

[thefuzz]

This roster is thin (shocker), and will be much thinner after the season is over.

In the 1st round, likely top 14, you take the best player available at every position not named running back.

Every draft pick after that needs to lean toward building up the offensive line and defensive line.

So with this season Officially being over, what are we looking at in terms of a first round draft pick? Assuming we lose the majority if not all of our upcoming games where do you think we land? Top five? Top ten? QB? WR? DL?

Someone who’s smarter lay out who we will pick when the time comes so we can have something positive to concentrate on.

I'd spend as many picks necessary to get the personnel for a 3-4 d-line.

Burns, Haynes, and Miller look promising as pass rushers, but these guys cannot play in a 4-3. 

I'd also grab a safety. Draft a Guard / Center in the 4th or 5th round and see where it takes us. 

1st, 2nd on d-line

3rd on safety

4th on Guard / Center

5th - wherever on DTs. 

Grab a kicker with the last pick

1st - DT Derrick Brown

2nd - C Jake Hanson or G Hakeem Adeniji

We need to finally focus on getting the O-line and D-line in better shape. The O-line hasn't been good since Travelle Wharton last played for us. That's saying something.

Assuming a coaching change though, we don't know for certain that the next coach will run a 3-4.

I'd add that somebody else (Fuzz, I think) posed a good question based on the fact that Luke doesn't fit well in a 3-4 system while other guys like the ones you mentioned don't necessarily fit great into a 4-3.

So the question becomes do you implement a system that doesn't fit Burns or one that doesn't fit Luke?

TBH, we'll win just enough to fall out of a premium draft slot

We all know that they're going to lose the next three and then beat the Saints in the finale to fug up the draft position... again.

Offensive and defensive lines are a must, then maybe LB’er give Cam another year and see where the dice lay at the end of it. Oh and Hurney is retainined to only make the first pick in the draft and nothing else every year for the panthers.
