A Big Reason Behind Defense Issues

Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy are pretty good for third and sixth round picks.

I get what you mean. Missing Beason, Davis and Gamble all at once hurts, but I don't think the round a player was drafted in is always the best indicator of how good they are.

Most of the holes are things we all knew ahead of time, yet were not properly addressed in the offseason. DT and CB in particular were both obvious holes and discussed to death. How we went from using the 2nd lowest amount of capspace to the 3rd highest and barely touched these positions is beyond me.

it's the panther fan mentality

every starter needs to be like a top 15 draft pick

The Bears offense that ran over us...

RB Matt Forte - 2nd round pick

C Roberto Garza - 4th round pick

G Lance Louis - 7th round pick

T J'Marcus Webb - 7th round pick

T Frank Omiyale - 5th round pick

WR Johnny Knox - 5th round pick

FB Tyler Clutts - undrafted

The Bears do have a few first rounders on offense, but the only one that's actually one of their own selections is G Chris Spencer, and he missed a good portion of the game with an injury. The others are Roy Williams - on his third team and considered by many to be a bust - and Jay Cutler, who was traded from the Broncos and has generally underachieved since.

    • Yes, Evans is bigger and stronger, but T-Mac has better hands and more shiftiness (can't think of the proper term there, but you know what I mean). Cool, Evans had a huge game against a #1 ranked team, that doesn't mean he did better against better competition (it doesn't mean he didn't either, but one game doesn't make a career or prospect).  Again, T-Mac had solidly better stats in college than Evans had (and that's before even mentioning that Evans had a literal Heisman winner as his QB), so pulling out a single game doesn't mean much (and I'd say the same thing if it was reversed, I don't put much stock into a single game for anyone). Also, you say you're giving the speed a push because we haven't seen T-Mac's combine time yet. So how about this from an article from before this season that said T-Mac's top game speed during his first 2 years in school topped out at 21.8 MPH. Which btw, would have come in at tied for the 7th fastest player speed in the NFL this past season. And for comparisons sake, from a few initial searches, it looks like Evans' top game speed in his career was 20.6 MPH. It's like I've said too many times to count.  No, T-Mac doesn't have elite short distance speed, he's 6'5", it would be crazy if he did.  But once he gets into his strides, he's shockingly fast for a player of his size and routinely runs away from defenders after the catch.  It's right there in his tape if you spend the time to watch all of it and not just his contested catch highlights.
    • Please do not link to Matt Miller's stuff on this website. He is a gigantic panthers hater and to top it off he's an idiot 
    • you dont draft out of need. thats how you get in trouble. this draft is loaded at dt and edge players. that means you can get them throughout the draft. why not grab the best wr in the draft while you can and spend the rest of fa and the draft on defense. my point was that any rookies we get this year on defense , wont move the needle that much. it will be 2 years before most of them do that.
