The excerpt that you're interested in:

Most Improved Team — Carolina Panthers

Factoring in the trade for quarterback Sam Darnold, the Carolina Panthers leave the 2021 NFL Draft with five and maybe six new starters. Darnold will start, as will cornerback Jaycee Horn and wide receiver Terrace Marshall, Jr. will see a ton of play-time as a rookie. It also wouldn’t surprise if offensive tackle Brady Christensen, tight end Tommy Tremble and defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon all see major reps as rookies and eventually become starters. Add in long snapper Thomas Fletcher and there’s another rookie starter.

Every fanbase dreams of their team finding starters in the middle and late rounds of the draft. This year the Panthers may have done just that.

 

Tommy Tremble was also listed as his favorite 3rd round pick.

it's so nice to hear overwhelming praise of draft management

In what world is LS considered a starter?  Do we count ST gunners as starters too?

I'm really hoping Christensen is a day one starter. LT was a gigantic need and Fiterer / Rule took their sweet time before trying to address it.

If he can't beat out Elflien or Erving then that is a big problem given all the LT prospects we could've gotten R1-R3

I mean, a world where a Kicker and Punter are starters, so why wouldn't another special teams player be a starter?

So then almost everyone on the 52 is a starter since most "extras" play ST. OK got it.

Math says nope. 

11 x 3 is 33. 

No 52.

Dude, do you know how important a competent LS is?  Long snapping is an art form and it isn't easy, try snapping a ball 13-15 yards on the mark with velocity knowing you are about to also have to block.

A good LS is worth his weight as a STARTER.

Dude, its not all the same players on kick off, kick return, punt, punt return.  

[chknwing]

I would say Deonte more than likely is a day 1 starter.

It's crazy how divisive the Tommy Tremble pick is. I can't wait until he leads the way for McCaffrey to have a career season
