What is our biggest position of need?

This thread will be great for compiling a list of people who think offensive line is the biggest problem for the Panthers so they can be banned as a group from posting on this site anymore.

You could say the same for those who don't think drafting a good T to replace Otah isn't necessary. O-line play is about as important as QB play.

Otah is a top 5 RT.

Hey guys let's replace Jon Beason too lol

[Lumps]

How many games/plays does Otah sit out before it needs to be considered I wonder?

Top 5 doesn't mean poo if he is on the bench.

There is a HUGE list of 'top 5' quality players than have had their careers shortened due to injuries.

I love Otah....

on the field.

Don't act foolish now. The major problems with Otah leaves a HUGE hole at RT, which effects the entire offense. Byron Bell looks good so far, but if he doesn't pan out to be anything better than a backup (and if Otah doesn't get over this never ending slump), we will need to burn an early draft pick or make a big signing for ether a stud or an above average RT.

Also, RG is being anchored down by a decent backup thus far, do you remember all the injuries to that position early in camp and pre-season? We've done well with max protections for Cam by bringing the RB to block and the TE's to help take the pressure off of him, the RG, and the RT. But those two positions are actually in need.

Learn some football before posting such ignorance ;)

Then you have to consider what he'd be paid. You're willing, at this point, to offer him a top 5 Olineman contract?

How idiotic.

Beason hasn't missed a game.. until now.

Otah...has.. plenty for that matter.

What the fug are you smoking rodeo? Usually your posts are spot on.

It depends on where we draft, and who is available. We need some improvement in a few areas. If we can get a top notch dt or cb, we should go for it. But if the best available is a wr or an offensive lineman, then I wouldn't mind that pick either.

[Keith Moons Liver]

There's so much we need. We need to protect our QB of the future, and we need to get him better targets if we are going to be so pass-happy. I don't want him to end up like Bradford, with nobody to throw to. But our defense also stinks, we could use just about anybody who isnt a safety or DE.

[CanadianCat]

This is trickey. The Falcons have done a great job at developing Ryan by spending picks on weapons - at the expenses of their D. Smitty needs to be allowed to eventually be a #2 or 3 option so that means would should either draft a WR or pick up a guy in FA.

But that being said, if Lafell or someone else develops we might have 'that guy' on our roster already.

But ya we need to speck picks on both lines and in the secondary.

IMO my top 3 picks are

1- WR

2- DT

3- OT

I would go defense in the first unless we have a chance to get a real top talent on offense like Blackmon or Kalil.

[Cat'sGrowl]

Too early to tell. Each position that has struggled so far has young talented players who have shown promise. Won't be able to determine for sure until the end of the year.

I'd say Wideout, but you just CANNOT forget about David Gettis when looking at that position. So i really don't know.

DT is soooooo a need right now. It's the one that sticks out like a sore thumb. I realize Ron Edwards is coming back next year, but still. It's a glaring need. =/

Yeap. I just hope there is a guy when we pick that is worth it. I don't start really scouting until mid-season but so far no one graded out in the 1st impresses me too much.
