From the Charlotte observer today 

Second round: No. 39: Kelee Ringo, CB, Georgia

The Panthers’ needs at cornerback are more glaring than most realize. Jaycee Horn is an emerging star but has played in 16 games in two seasons. A foot fracture cost him 14 games of his rookie season in 2021. Last year he started 13 games but missed time due to two different injuries. A rib injury suffered in Week 5 kept him out of two games. He returned in Week 8 but broke his hand seven weeks later that ended his season. 

Horn’s injuries forced him to miss both games against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 and 17, respectively. 

The depth behind Horn is shaky at best. Veteran Donte Jackson will return next season, but he’s recovering from a Week 10 Achilles injury. Jackson turns 28 years old in November. C.J. Henderson flashed at times last year but struggled against opposing No. 1 receivers after Jackson and Horn were out. Keith Taylor is only entering his third season, but he underwhelmed during extended action last year. 

The Panthers projected top-four cornerbacks were all acquired under a different head coach. It is unclear how the new Panthers regime feels about their defensive backs. Carolina signed safeties Vonn Bell and Eric Rowe during free agency. If new defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero wants a cornerback then targeting one at No. 39 would make sense. 

At 6 foot 2 and 205 pounds, Georiga cornerback Kelee Ringo has desirable measurables. He ran a 4.36 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. As a two-year starter for the Bulldogs, Ringo was a key part of the team’s top-ranked defense. There are questions about his small-area quickness. He’ll need to develop into a capable man-coverage defender. But the Panthers have the infrastructure in place to develop a young, athletic cornerback into a star. 

Third round: No. 93 (via SF): Jayden Reed, WR, Michigan State

Fourth round: No. 114: Blake Freeland, OT, BYU

Fifth round: No. 145: Andre Carter, Edge, Army

That's definitely not a sexy draft 🙄 

Not really a fan of any of those picks. I really don't want a CB at pick 2 seriously it's like we're picking out of fear of injury vs bpa 

Get a player to help your undersized QB on offense or get a pass rusher to compliment burns .

There are better EDGE options in free agency (Ngokoue, Clowney, Ingram, Leonard Floyd) than there are free agent CB's

And you’ll pay 10M for each of them.  There’s still some really good corners out there.  Darby and Phillips both posted 70 pff grades. And both played under Evero last year.

If by some chance he falls to the 2nd… Trenton Simpson better be the pick. We’re THIN at LB and this young man has the athletic freakish talent of Parsons. With Shaq getting old, Luvu is a JAG, we need to rebuild the storied tradition of GREAT LB play in the Carolinas

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
