You bring up a good point.  Does BPA include position value?  For example, if you have a need at TE and Edge, and TE and Edge are rated 1 and 2 on your board when you pick.  You know edges are more rare than TEs; you can get a TE later who is 80% the player in round 1 is, but an Edge later is 40% of the player in round 1 was---so when you are selecting BPA, do you do it as an isolated incident without regarding the players later?  If we follow a pure BPA strategy, we could be drafting Jeanty, RB.  If BPA was always applied by all teams, it is statistically probable that a team would draft 4 or 5 players at the same position.  So there has to be some "big picture" approach.  In fact, if a team takes an edge, for example, they remove all other Edges from their boards--that is needs-based shopping.  It is an interesting point--where is the line between BPA and need and position availability?  If you look at the cap, you would take an Edge over a TE on the board because edges are more expensive--you save more money.  I have never been convinced that BPA is the golden rule--except when all other variables are equal.  Great to hear other takes.

Honestly BPA shouldn't include positional value at all. It is best player available after all, not best player available at position X. That said, very few teams in any sport go pure BPA because they have needs and wants. Plus, some do stick to the dogmatic position value BS.

Got to get a WR, CB, Safety and Edge in the draft.  I would like to get a TE and RB, but those are somewhat luxury picks and while needed, aren't priority.  Probably could double dip on WR and safety later in the draft, if not find a couple of priority UDFA after the draft like we did with Coker last year.  I know the Panthers site has these DLs listed as DTs for the most part, but I assume one or more of them will be an end.  I'm not too worried about depth there.  ILB is the last upgrade I would consider behind all the others.

I agree--I would also like to see us grab one of the DTs (DE/NT) in the draft as well, and maybe a developmental T.

It wouldn't shock me to see a couple more FAs signed later on as their market plummets, especially WR and Safety like a Keenan Allen and Julian Blackmon.  Allen would be a 1-2 year rental and Blackmon is still young.  I liked Blackmon coming out of college; he just seems to be dinged up a lot.  Nothing serious, but misses a couple of games just about every year.

Blackmon has been on my radar as well

Missing LaBryan Ray (DE), Claudin Cherelus (MLB), Dan Chisena (WR), and Jordan Matthews (TE).

DJ Johnson and Amare Barno are swapped based on where they lined up last season.
