Observers "complete" guide to the draft

[ladypanther]

The newest Panther beat writer, Alaina Getzenberg,  has been writing some solid articles.  This one is a good summary of the team, depth, team needs, potential players etc.  One section I found interesting was the one about the NFC South free agency moves:

Quote

 

Panthers lost: QB Cam Newton, QB Kyle Allen, CB James Bradberry, G Trai Turner, TE Greg Olsen, G Greg Van Roten, OL Daryl Williams, DT Dontari Poe, DE Mario Addison, DE Vernon Butler, S Eric Reid.

Panthers signed: QB Teddy Bridgewater, WR Robby Anderson, S Tre Boston, WR Pharoh Cooper, LT Russell Okung, WR Seth Roberts, WR Keith Kirkwood, QB P.J. Walker, LB Tahir Whitehead, G John Miller, DE Stephen Weatherly.

The Panthers had a very busy free agency period. From changing starting quarterback to losing veterans on both lines, Carolina has a lot of rebuilding to take care of in the draft. They did bring in significant depth at wide receiver and helped fortify the offense, but there are still a lot of holes left by defensive starters to be filled.

Buccaneers notable additions and departures:
Lost: QB Jameis Winston, RB Peyton Barber, DE Carl Nassib

Signed: QB Tom Brady, TE Rob Gronkowski

Saints notable additions and departures:
Lost: QB Teddy Bridgewater, LB A.J. Klein, S Vonn Bell

Signed: WR Emmanuel Sanders, S Malcom Jenkins

Falcons notable additions and departures:
Lost: RB Devonta Freeman, TE Austin Hooper, DE Adrian Clayborn, LB Vic Beasley, CB Desmond Trufant

Signed: EDGE Dante Fowler, RB Todd Gurley, TE Hayden Hurst

Getzenberg is one of the better writers they've had in a while.

For the wire cutters who dont have access to watch the draft,  you can do a 7 day free trail with Sling.  Im sure there are other ways but this is cheap and easy

lol I had no idea Kyle Allen left

[Growl]

that lost/gained list reads like a 1st team/2nd team depth chart

I take back everything I've said, we actually may get the 1st pick next season.

We are 100% getting either the 1 or 2 pick.  Think about it.  New coach, new coordinator, new d coordinator, no mini camps, new qb, the overall losses on defense that was already historically bad, relying on a ton of udfa rookies and a decimated oline.  Bro I can promise you this is a 4 win at best team.

4 wins isn't "good enough" to get the 1st overall pick 

 

That's the issue with waiting to take a QB

by the way, I just went to sling and it looks they are letting everyone watch the NFL Draft tonight (at least) free.  I have the NFL Network streaming now and did not sign up for a free trial or give a credit card to them.

They are also offering happy hour, free between 5pm and midnight everyday.  I wonder how long that lasts
