Newer+Current players are listed below with a pretty glaring hole on the DL and secondary with a potential boost needed at LB.  The draft strategy has actualized with a huge hole at CB and NT in particular. 

Offense

QB) Teddy Bridgewater | PJ Walker

RB) CMC |Bonnafon |Scarlett

WR) Moore | Anderson | Samuel | Roberts | Cooper

TE) DeValve | Thomas

OL) Okung-Daley-Paradis-Miller-Moton

Defense

DL) Weatherly-Short-??-Burns (+Added rotation?)

EDGE/Hybrid front) Miller, Haynes

LB) Carter Jr.-Shaq-Whitehead

CB) ???-Jackson-Luke

S) Boston-Burris

Sooo I think our Round 1 is pretty clear if we're sticking at #7:

1. Jerry Okudah | 2A/B. Isaiah Simmons/Derrick Brown

 

And we're obviously targeting James Lynch (DL) and maybe Matt Hennessy (C) at some point.  Lynch was Rhule's first visit.  They're super tight, he led Snow's defense.  Let's just put that as a for sure in the 3rd/4th round.  

 

But Round 2? We're looking at a wider net, but still likely defense.  Some names:

CB: Jeff Gladney, CJ Henderson

DE: Yetur Green-Matos

DT: Justin Madibuike, Ross Blacklock, Neville Gallimore

LB: Patrick Queen, Ken Murray,

WR: Denzel Mims, Van Jefferson, Tee Higgins

S: Grant Delpit

 

Who jumps out in the Round 2 club?  I would personally love a Brown/Simmons + Jeff Gladney combo platter.  Green-Matos could be interesting if available. 

So questions I pose:

1. Who's your favorite WR prospect beyond Round 2?  Talking guys like AGG, Michael Pittman, Tyler Johnson, Claypool, etc.

2. Any defenders that look too good to pass up if available Round 2?  Favorite 2nd rounder prospects?

Nothing is clear.

Marty will draft the BPA with number 7.

thats of course how the Panthers rank the players, not Mel Kiper and definitely not the huddle.

im calling Andrew Thomas... but hope we jump up for Tua,.. although if it ends up being Derrick Brown I won’t cry,.. it just means he’s the BPA.

what I really hope is if we can’t get Tua that we drop back....

If you think it's a QB or LT you're going to be very dissapointed.  We may not even pick an OT in this entire draft.  Brace yourself.

I don’t see QB or LT either. If anything we trade down with a team looking for Tua or Thomas at that spot. Otherwise, it’s BPA between Brown, Simmons or Okudah. My money is on Simmons.

Looking at this; the roster seems like it's not filling out too badly.

I know the departures of Cam, Luke and Greg have been disappointing but I like the way our offseason has been shaping up. Our needs are being adequately addressed in FA especially depth on offense. It’s putting us in  a great position for the upcoming draft.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
