i honestly feel like that jackson signing means we are going high on CB in draft.

I actually think the Panthers might end up drafting a LB or WR. It makes them less desperate to get DL help. CB is still on the table though, but I'd hate it at 8 overall.

Sign another starting safety and pack it in. 
Blackmon?

what about Justin Simmons? He was in Broncos before Falcons. Did he have any overlap w Evero?

What about signing someone like say Gus Edwards who should be really cheap and would provide a useful role as the guy who gets all our and 1 or less carries since we can't sneak it with Bryce?

I think having a vet in that role would be worth the money he costs over a 5th round rookie in that role on the cheap, he'd make a nice compliment to Hubbard.

[NJPanthers89]

Whoever they sign to backup Chubba is going to have to be cheap.  They already invested a lot of assets to the position (both money and a high draft pick).  A guy coming off injury like AJ Dillon is intriguing, and probably will be had for the vet min.  Khalil Herbert is a very solid all around back, and Hynes can be a great third down option if that’s the route they wanna take with more of a receiving back.
