Where Carolina Ranks (Weeks 1-5)

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I don't. No DTs look worth a 1st round pick, to me.

Not yet, but by the end of the college season there will be at least one DT out there beasting and getting tons of hype from national media. I don't know who that will be yet, but somebody will. If not DT there is definately several LBs worthy of our first pick that will be available.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I'm pretty sure Mike Goodson fumbled at some point. Not on a kick return but actually running. I can't remember but I feel like it happened. I think Goodson needs to be traded for a draft pick or something. He has the worst hands on the team and just really isn't that good. Has never lived up to the hype.

[Catalyst]

I don't even remember Goodson getting a single carry, much less fumbling.

[JawnyBlaze]

I don't think Goodson has carried the ball this year yet. And I REALLY don't think there'll be a LB worth spending our first round pick on...we have FAR more pressing matters than finding a 3rd LB to add to Beason and Anderson (assuming Davis doesn't come back 100%).

Beat me to it while I was typing, SCP :P

i'm pretty sure he did... i think in the Zona game. i need to get my ass to work so i dont feel like researching... but yeah, i think it was the first game of the season.

Rookies or not I do not see any of the DTs we have getting the consistant push in the middle we need to be a top tier defense.Not to say the guys we have will not be good DTs and I am not aware of one in this years upcoming draft.Suh like DTs are hard to find.

What we can do and be conpetetive is less picks, less penalities,better play calling and creating more turnovers. We are very close and need to refine the play execution.

i don't want us to draft another DT. the solution is to pick up one or two in FA and just count on getting a solid and relentless rotation going. the thing we have lacked and will continue to lack is experience. fua and mcclain are getting theirs, but we need more...not less.

i'd rather us use that first and second pick elsewhere. my top 4 positions (not really in order): oline, WR, CB, WLB.

[Panther59]

I agree Rayzor, unfortunately its a bit early to determine the most pressing need and who the BPA will be at that position when it's our turn to select. However, taking a stab in the dark I would say that it would be wise to spend our first rounder on a WR(Alshon Jeffery, if he decides to declare or Justin Blackmon if he doesn't) or on an O-lineman. Obviously we can't afford to neglect picking up a solid CB and a solid WLB I just think we can find value in the later rounds at those positions.

[Peppers90 NC]

If we had Beason and TD, we could easily be a top 10 defense.

as good as they are, that wouldn't quite be the case, two lb's dont bring the stats up that much.

[Xrated]

I say draft cb with 1st de with 2nd wr and dt in free agency
