Once the Panthers tag Peppers and trade for their 1st rounder, what position.........

[357wayz]

........should they target? I would love to see them go after a shut down coverage man, possibly a Malcolm Jenkins from Ohio State? Secondary guys are much more suited to start out of college then Defensive Lineman, and I hope they dont expect to draft the next Peppers with the first round pick.

i too think we should ignore the weakest part of our defense

[SKULL]

They could always move Lucas or Marshall to the defensive line after they draft a DB

yes brilliant!!!!

[PanthersFanNY]

Nobody can cover a receiver while their quarterback has 2 minutes to throw a pass.

IM with you there. We need DT's and DE's in the first three rounds.

[SorthNarolina]

I would be very happy if we drafted nothing but D-line the first three rounds to get the strongest rotation possible.

I think WR or OLB could be a darkhorse though.

CB won't be addressed unless somebody very talented falls.

[PuntJake]

i don't think there is any question DL and DB are the most important in this draft and FA season. I think we are decent at LB. actually, decnt at DB as well but we need to replace Lucas. otherwise, we should go DL, DB, DL with our first 3 picks or any combo similar depending on talent available when we pick.

what would be really cool, is if we trade pep to a team that picks in the top half of the draft getting us a really nice pick rather than to say pittsburgh leaving us at the tail end of the round.

Well considering we NEED a good front 7 I am sure our draft will probably look like this;

1st- WR

2nd- TE

3rd-K

you get the point.

we arent the lions... our FO might be scaring the sh*t out of us, but they are good drafters. heck i didnt agree with picking up jon stewart last year and now we are going to have the best backfield in the NFL for years.

I agree somewhat. I am just B/S'n.

However- Last off season WE KNEW we needed to get some line help to make up for Jenkins, well we are sitting here saying the same poo.

Plus now we have to get a good DE.

The front office has a habbit of being too "re-active" in stead of "pro-active"

Its like we are always just 1 step behind. They need to get aggressive this offseason and load us out.

[PantherDude]

We need more defense right now in the draft or FA. We're quite fine & loaded on offense. Defense is our biggest need right now, especially DE with Pep not coming back next season.

[carpanfan96]

We should go Dt early in the draft, first or second round, we usually pick up our corners in the 3rd round unless there is someone there that the team just can't help but draft at that spot (similar to Connor last year)

[PANTHER PRIDE 52]

it's ok to talk about what we can do with the picks we'll get when we trade peppers,but we got to get gross signed to a long term deal then tag pep before we get all excited about who we'll get with the picks...don't u think
