Looking at the DL exclusively, they're adding DB, Wharton, and Brown III to it which completely replaces last season's starters. That leaves Robinson, Crumedy, Tuttle, Ray, and any other additions made competing for the three back-up spots. They essentially added a 100 tackle DT, the sack leader of one of last season's Super Bowl teams, and a true NT rather than an undersized one.

I'm with you on the safeties. If Scott does return, I expect him to take Sam's role as back up SS/ST. Moehrig is the clear starter and a major upgrade... as much as I want a top flight FS, I have to appreciate the team prioritizing a run-stopping safety to fix record-setting incompetence over a centerfielder. Then when I consider that the Panthers get to play against Bijan Robinson, Alvin Kamara, and Bucky Irving twice a season... I can dig it. The situation at FS tho...

I'm concerned that we might see more soft zone coverage if they don't find a starting FS. I'm finding it hard to believe that they're going in depending on Demani Richardson, but maybe his play last season makes them comfortable with adding another young body to compete against this season? I gotta dive into the tape and see for myself.

Going to be veeery interesting

It would be fun to pair Moehrig with a ballhawking type like Watts.  Horn is a shutdown type at CB but we really do need a ballhawk in the secondary to make us a bit peskier back there.  Then land a CB like Strong VT to see develop as well for the outside or a better boost at NB like Parrish KSU over Smith-Wade.

Ok so our DL was one of the worst in NFL history, and we sign some new players (2) but we also bring back Tuttle and Ray--why????

We have bad safeties and let them walk, then bring back a S from that unit.  He only played 324 plays in 2024 and looks to play less this season.  He had a 48.1 PFF grade vs the run.  What are we doing?  Camp bodies?

Brown was hurt. That’s sort of the crux of the collapse of the line.

Nothing like a guy that allows a 106.2 career passer rating to shore up a leaky D.

He's not even a good tackler. Bad in coverage. Bad against the run. I mean... come on man. Give me something to work with. I need something to scheme you for. I can't just hide you in the secondary all game.

I get that, but others have to step up.  Can I do the job or do I have to have someone else beside me getting all the offensive attention to do my job?  They failed miserably.  I agree that, from our perspective, Brown will make a huge difference moving forward, but these guys had their opportunity and they sucked.

You are giving me hope that I too may play safety for the Carolina Panthers.  I have a bad shoulder from when I played in college in the 80s.  I am white and ran a 4.75 40, and I am about 30 pounds overweight and I need readers in restaurants.  But as you describe him, I meet those requirements.   Sending my resume to Dan....Tim And Eric Dancing GIF

      2021 was a good draft.

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Horn is very talent f but has missed damn near half the games of his career. Chuba proved to be a great pick. Tremble is an okay pick as a mediocre backup for a 3rd round pick. Kinda feels like that should be the bare minimum acceptable standard for a "successful" 3rd rounder. Christensen was another solid pick. This draft wasn't terrible. The problem is that it's our best draft in years when for a well ran organization it would be an average at best draft.

      If Carter falls past 3 or 4 do you pick up the phone?

      Our offseason mantra needs to be "the draft is a crap shoot!"  Right??? Now Carter is very interesting.  Some talking heads consider him the best, safest pick in the draft because his skills are translatable.  His floor is a high end pass rusher, ceiling perennial DPOY.  He played through injury at Penn State and was a force in his final game.  Dude has all the tools. Who is graded out better?  Well...there you have wide variety of opinions.  The biggest question would be: do the Panthers have a high enough grade for him?  If he drops, I think you really have to think hard about it (depending on your board).  What's the dawg count in him??? Or do you take the best edge you can at 8 and let the rest fall where it may?  The draft is always surprising and full of "no duh" moments.  But if Carter falls to four, I think NE is going to have a LOT of calls.

      To answer my own question, T may be the BPA at 8.
