Can the Panthers afford to go Offense with their 1st pick in the Draft?

[mc52beast]

Our offense is above average,good enough to win games with a decent defense. What we need is a draft and free agency dedicated to D and ST.

[Proudiddy]

If you say Matthieu I will cut you.

No...

But being that Hurney refuses to sign young FAs we didn't draft who have already proven their worth, we HAVE to take defensive players in the draft and hope they make an impact, and this defense needs A LOT OF HELP.

I wouldn't be mad with the Kalil pick if it's there, but with all of the uncertainty with our LB and interior line, I'd prefer to address those positions first. A CB with size to complement Gamble wouldn't hurt either, but I think our secondary would be fine with more help up front.

[Gin and Juice]

For those of you that think we are gonna miraculously turn our defensive unit around via free agency, please look at the list of upcoming free agents and tell me how?

I firmly believe that PLENTY of hellified defensive players come out of the 2nd and 3rd rounds, but we need more picks than 1 in those two rounds. By the list of free agents, our offensive woes can be addressed......defense, not hardly!

That said, we do whatever it takes to pick up more picks in the first three rds.

Claiborne is always on the other teams best WR while Mathieu often plays slot and blitzes.

LSU is likely to produce the best CB in three straight drafts.

great

now please name another rising CB besides the guy from LSU due to come out in 2013

Cliff Harris from Oregon if he doesn't declare this year.

All we need to do in free agency is pick up a couple of serviceable DTs, and if possible, sign Mario Williams. Then trade Greg Hardy for a 2nd or two 3rds, and we will be in business.

Oh thats lovely, trade a solid and oft uninjured DE and rely on an oft injured DE. Not a good plan!

Is this serious?

How is franchise mode coming along?

A 2nd or two 3rds.

lol LSU corner hype, a pantherclaw post and now someone suggesting we trade greg

this thread is officially unsalvageable

1st draft Claiborne

2nd draft the best OLB available

Get Beason back

Get Ron Edwards back

Sign another DT like Ron Edwards

The defense would be much improved
