Corners that are left. Who will it be?

So here we go, the CB position is probably the one position that needs to be addressed. I'm starting to think we'd be fine at the WR spot, even if we don't sign anyone. But the CB position, not so much. Here's what's left from what I can tell.

1.Chris Carr, CB, Ravens. Age: 28.

He's a decent CB, he'd probably beat out Gamble for the #1 spot. He's not that old either, still would have at least 5 years left. He'd line up next to Gamble instantly. No doubt. This is the FA that I would want.

2. Nate Clements, CB, 49ers. Age: 31.

I'm not convinced with this guy, but at this point he's looking like an OK CB, next to Gamble he would be better than Marshall to be honest. If he comes cheap, I say sure.

3. Antonio Cromartie, CB, Jets. Age: 27.

Ah yes, Cromartie and his family. Um, next to gamble, we'd have a very decent backfield. This is another guy that I wouldn't mind paying a little more for because he's worth that little extra cash. Again, he's still young, has at least 5 years left so he'd be finishing his career with us. That's a good thing, means we can look for a replacement while him and gamble are on their way out.

4. Carlos Rogers, CB, Redskins. Age: 30,

If he can stay healthy. Yes, do want. Even if he's older. Getting him cheap might be a possibility, I can see him pairing with Gamble nicely.

5.Chris Houston, CB, Lions. Age: 26.

Some of you don't want this guy. He remind me a lot of Marshall, but he'd probably beat out marshall to be honest. I beleive he's slightly better than marshall, he's still young and can be coached still. He's definitely a #2 CB, which is what we need. If all the other CB's are signed, and it came down to marshall and him. I'd take houston.

6. ????? Don't know who else is left that can be acquired? Via trade? A. Samuel? If the trade doesn't leave a gaping hole in the panthers backside I say yes.

There's still some options at CB, I hope something gets done soon about this. Even if we don't pick up any more positions of need to secure a CB, I'm all for that.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
