Panthers release first depth chart

[Panthercougar68]

 There will be players available at the cut deadline as cap/roster casualties that can help in thin spots.

What has Marshall done to be the 4th WR? I haven't seen much said about him so far. Smith has been praised a bit though.

Draft position? Can't stay healthy though. I'm glad they at least have Shi over CJ Saunders. Much more upside

[RJK]

I expect a DE, DT, and if available a TE to be brought in after cuts. I think they’re comfortable at LB and don’t seem to value the position much.

Once other teams DT toss elflein into the QB like a sack of poo Bozeman will be inserted.

As for chinn, I prefer him in the box but maybe he’s improved his coverage in the offseason. I was not impressed with it last year for sure.

pretty sure he had 4 TDs in a matter of 2-3 practices before the injury. The Athletic put up a piece that he looked poise for a breakout year. Then the damn calf strain happened. Jynxed him.

Based on what?  

big plays?

More TDs, FF, FR as a rookie on one less game.  

I like Chinn anywhere.  But my preference based on 2 years is with him more in the box.  Just seemed to be one of those guys that got the ball.  And I think teams will run at as a fair amount and would rather have him more mixed up in it.

2 freak plays that might never happen again in his career regardless of his position.

This is the  difference between fans and coaches.  Fans judge players based off of a few splash plays(good and bad), coaches watch every snap.

Go watch game film and focus on him for every play.   Your opinion of where he should be playing might change.

That Defense doesn't appear like they could stop a nosebleed, way too light for a NFL team.

If you go watch the film you’ll see him getting dusted in coverage last year. Hopefully that improves

This is the O-line that finished the day w the 1's-

From just outside the 20, Mayfield dropped back again. An offensive line of (from left to right) Ikem Ekwonu, Brady Christensen, Bradley Bozeman, Austin Corbett and Taylor Moton earned Mayfield enough time for him to wait on receiver DJ Moore, who was running a shallow route from left to right. Mayfield delivered an on-time ball and Moore took off 15 yards untouched to the end zone.

Well, I am a fan.  My eyeballs tell me Baker is better than Sam and it really isn’t close.   Our coaches see it different.   I concede I don’t look at players like them. 

and I still like Chinn better in the box more given how our run D looks right now on paper.  Folks are going to be running at us and he is a good player even if still raw.  He was a rookie that made a run at DPOY.  We need more playmakers/talent in there mixing it up IMO.   I wouldn’t call it just 2 freak plays either as a rookie.

If you are worried about coaches starting Sam you really should go back and listen to some of the interviews today from WFNZ, Baker will start getting the reps. 

Fitt hinted that it's Baker's to lose.

Wtf why is Chinn FS again? 

They came out and said he wasn’t changing positions like months ago. Wilks likes him at FS. I trust his judgement.
