While I totally understand this conclusion based on the Panther's defense this season, I still think WR is a bigger need than people realize. Adam Thielen will be about 35--been great--but it is time to start slowing down. XL will be better, but how much better? In year 2, we need 800 yards from him or more. After that, we have Coker-a player I am very high on. I think he can be a solid #4 WR. David Moore has been a surprise, but he will be an UFA and 30 in 2025. Not sure he is a roster spot. We need 2 WRs, and we need a true #1 if possible. Free agency is not the place to find WRs, but I imagine we will find one there; most WRs probably do not want to come to Carolina and the Bryce passing attack. I think there is depth at Edge (through round 2, surprisingly) and DT (through round 3). For this exercise, they had to choose two. I think Carter is overrated and I would love to have Graham, but we get Brown back and a first round DT might be overkill. I think WR is weak in this draft and if you do not grab one early you will miss out. IMO our biggest needs/areas of concern when regarding available talent have to be Edge and WR. As much as I like Graham, there are DTs later who are pretty impressive. -
While on the topic of Mike Green, he had 38 SOLO tackles, 81 overall--he averaged 1.5 sacks per game vs. Ohio St. and Va Tech, so the level of competition does not seem to be a factor for him. Tankathon has his as the 11th ranked Edge; NFL Draft Buzz has him rated 12. I expect his stock to rise, but if it does not, I personally think he would be a steal in the second round. NFL Draft Buzz has his 40 time at 4.57 (not sure where they got that). He has the length, the size. I look for consistency too--sometimes a player can have 4 sacks vs a reserve OT from Ricky's School for Wayward Teens and disappears in most other games. He had sacks in every game except three, and in those games, he had 11, 8, and 5 tackles respectively. That probably means (in the 11 and 8 games) that they were not passing the ball. However, for an edge to have 81 tackles/38 solo tackles and 17 sacks is domination. I should note that Marshall had a high scoring offense and the opposition was playing from behind a lot, but top-rated Abdul Carter had 1 sack in two games against Bowling Green and Kent. In 7 of his 13 games, he did not have a sack. Albeit the competition was better, but against a mutual opponent, Ohio State, Abdul had 4 tackles (2 solo) and 2 sacks--a very good game. Against Ohio State, Green had 2 tackles and 1 sack. To put that into perspective, Will Howard and Ohio State were sacked only 10 times all year--and Penn State had 3 of them.

You mean 6 (actually 7) months deployments? A few times.
