Post draft... what positions do you think we are weakest at?

My biggest concern heading into this year is the LB group, we're just thin there and even when healthy it doesn't appear to be a very good unit overall. 

My second concern is TE. Hurst is good but he has injury baggage and behind him is still the woeful Ian Thomas

Defense.. particularly pass rusher and LB really need another DB as well I think they are setting the new DC up to fail personally... 

Pretty harsh take there. Most believe our defense is a top 10 defense.  We put a good offense on the field our defensive numbers are going to improve.  Hopefully, 3 and out doesn't happen too often and our defense will stay straight.

I do think LB can be upgraded and probably will after Evero gets a chance to see our guys perform in OTAs and minicamps.  Our scheme is changing so it is very hard to say what our front seven is going to look like.

After Hurst TE is a bit thin.  I am hoping now that Fhule is gone Tremble will get more action and prove his value.

Defense in my opinion was pretty overrated last year.. now a new scheme change and no new additions?? I don't see it going well for us at all

Our defense is not top 10. I wish it was, but we don’t have the pieces quite yet. Need LB, CB, and another good DE.

Eviro scheme and 3-4 in general rely on the ends to free up the OLB to get after the qb. Got solid set of 3-4 style DE's that can do that. 

 

CB is definitely a ? mark because of health. 

 

Olb must be what your talking about at LB and they drafted one and have a bunch of young guys that fit the new scheme really well. 

 

Are people forgetting the switch to 3-4?? 

 

Tons of post in here that make me think so.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
