Front 7

[heelbone]

This might be the perfect draft for rebuilding our front 7.  Plenty of quality DTs. LBs are devalued and we aren’t afraid to trade. I know draft simulations are dicey but they spark the imagination.  What if we could completely rework the defense in one draft? And how would that class be configured? Line heavy? Shutdown corners or flying edge speed?

Your first two picks ruin the draft from a value nerd standpoint. 

It does go very hard in trying to redeem itself with the next 4 picks, but I simply cannot agree to drafting S, LB, or RB with the first two picks.

Fortunately, Malaki Starks is far and away the best safety in the draft and if we're talking value, the team only has a UDFA (Richardson) under contract going forward.

He's also a better prospect than Kyle Hamilton was (imo) who went #14. Minkah Fitzpatrick went at #11 a couple of seasons prior to that.

Fair points. Value is the theme. It’s a deep draft, not top heavy. Trades should be available and the Panthers could capitalize.
