Yeah. I would rather we suck on defense then getting our #1 overall pick killed. the chiefs invest heavily in the oline year after year after year. Both our guards had pretty serious injuries to end the year. I like Cade mays a lot but drafting another guard or tackle would be wise.

We're also supposed to have a super smart DC who can do more with less, so yeah...

im not too familiar with 3-4 and who would fit better to have a guy slide to a better role. 

but in terms of talent Branch and Sanders are just great players that will find a way on the field and contribute no matter what.

I don't have a preference. Greene and Lathon were fun in the 3-4 in the Capers' years but Peppers, Beason, Davis, etc were fun in the 4-3 too.

3-4 vs 4-3 Is about your front seven. Once you get back to the secondary I don't know that it's makes any huge difference.

I do not think a WR left brings anything to the table we do not already have. 

OG - few guys out there that can be long term players and I wouldnt be upset if we took, but we also like our Gs. I do no think we should draft just because someone might not be ready to start the year. 

Multiple analysts have indicated that overall this year's wide receiver class is nothing special.

I'm always on board with reinforcing the front though.

Brian Branch and Michael Mayer are the best players left and clearly have a talent gap above the rest of the players remaining, you could probably throw Joey Porter Jr. in there as well

Naturally they all probably go picks 1 2 and 3 tonight

If however one of them is there at 39 that would be my pick no hesitation. 

If none of those guys fall I want us to trade down a few spots. 

Tepper kind of tipped our hand last night basically saying we were targeting defense with the pick and we have a glaring hole at edge and Fitty has said multiple times they are targeting it and even considered trading back up for one (god I wish we could have gotten Nolan Smith)

So that being said I think we end up with BJ Ojulari at 39 

I'd add Ojulari in the mix there

I know. And it probably doesn't matter as much these days as it did years ago since teams are trying to disguise things to confuse the QB for a few more seconds than they did in the past.

That's why if the Panthers decide to go pass catcher, they should be open to taking a TE if one is better than available WRs.

Building the Oline though, yeah, they need to invest picks in it every year.

Even before things played out the way they did, Kaye was of the opinion that the team taking a tight end with their second round pick wasn't likely.

It's a deep class though so they could still get a good guy later.

I still think Fitt will try to trade down from 39 at least a few spots to pick up another pick or two.

      Brees and Payton template for Young

      I mean saying he worked with Wilson is a stretch

      Canales has worked with Wilson, Smith & Mayfield. He didn't move on from them did he? Reich & Canales have both benched Young. Young consumed a bulk of the Panthers' draft capital & free agency the past 2 seasons all for offense. What will it take for people to realize Young isn't a professional athlete, nevermind a leader of professional athletes?

      Brees and Payton template for Young

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Brees was the EXCEPTION. My God why can’t people see this. We didn’t outsmart anybody by drafting Bryce other than ourselves. In his prime Brees was NEVER A PROJECT. He was never just an ok QB before getting plugged in with Payton.  In his second season in SD he threw for 3,200 yards and 17 TDs. His last 2 years in SD he threw 51 TDs while being sacked 55 times. He was already a stud before going to the Saints.  he threw for at least 4,000 f-in yards EVERY SEASON from 2006 to 2018.  He threw for over 5,000 yards in 5 of those. I really thought all of the Bryce people had given up by now. He’s not Drew Brees. He’s not throwing for 80,000 yards and 571 TDs over a 19 year career, while leading one of the most prolific offenses of all time. He would be lucky to have met the guy who once carried DB’s jock.  Bryce is morale poison who throws hospital balls, 2 yard dump offs and pick 6s because he lacks the critical physical attributes to succeed in the NFL as well as the burning desire to BE A CHAMPION. He spent the offseason watching tv and playing video games. Every year wasted on him is a year wasted in developing other actual legitimate talent that exists on offense. Expect XL, the line, and pretty much the entire offense to regress if he starts next season. Canales gets it. It’s about making the Panthers win. Not Bryce.  Imagine being his teammate and hearing that after his pathetic ass rookie season, he went home to watch tv and play video games in the offseason. Imagine what Thielen really thought when he first heard. He should have hired a personal trainer and throwing coach the last day of the season. He needed to immerse himself deeper in to football, he chose to withdraw. he is not and will never be a champion. Dan is putting together some good offensive talent that will be completely wasted with Bryce under center. He’s injected high level talent and veteran leadership on the offensive line. There are skill players with big play ability, who are running free. I’m trying to pump the brakes but this offense is shaping up to be pretty fun to watch, and it only took one offseason’s worth of moves. I don’t think we are as far as people say we are.  So his big contract hit….   Want to know why divorce is so expensive… because it’s worth it.
