How many week 1 starters could the Panthers get this weekend?

[Zod]

Looking at the roster, what positions could a rookie come in and start immediately?

I think CB, TE, G, OT, S are up for grabs.

 

 

[Aussie Tank]

I think we get starters at OT, CB, S and G 

[Raleigh PF]

I'll put the over/under at 2.5. CB/OT seem like they are going to be strong possibilities in the first two rounds. After that, the draft could feature players that will have an impact, but may not be considered "starters". WR and Safety are possibilities here.

Don't discount the idea of seeing Kellen Mond drafted at the top of the 3rd round (if he's there), as well.

*cough* QB *cough*

[Kentucky Panther]

Not sure if Fields would start over Sam day one. Maybe by week 9 or 10 depending on how things are going. 
 

I would say without a doubt tackle and corner.  Guard and safety are possible. Outside chance WR 

[45catfan]

I would say three unless we move back in the first or second rounds to get another top 100 pick, then I would say four.  I'm thinking CB and OT for certain, possibly QB.  The long shot being DT and that's only if we forego a QB in the first two rounds.

IDK BUT ITS DRAFT DAY!!

[Pup McBarky]

We could get 7 or 8. I'd be happy with 2.

[south-paw]

3: CB, S, and OT.  Maybe LB

[bababoey]

There are a lot of good off the ball LB in this draft.  It is possible you could get a guy like Barnes from Purdue in the early 4th and he could walk in and start week 1.  I will say 3.  OT, CB/S and LB.  This is not a good draft for safety so if you want a starter you better get him in the 2nd but you could get a decent CB in the 3rd but probably not good enough to walk in and start.  

[Call Me James]

I think we have four positions where it could happen, but I don't think a draft works out where you get starters in all four. 

I'm going to say 3.

[OldhamA]

Rhule strikes me as the type of coach that has an open competition every year - unlike Fox and Rivera who favoured the veterans.

If we have as good a Draft as we did in 2020 you could easily get 3-4 immediate starters over the weekend at multiple spots - I don't think any position group is out of the question to be honest, besides perhaps RB. 

[Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D.]

I think the fact that our projected starting CB is suspended for the first two games of the season increases our chances by 1.

I always enjoy the UDFA shuffle. Good GMs find guys who everyone looked over.
