Current Standings and Positional Needs

[Jack Power]

After watching some video on our young DTs and LB here our my updated positional needs for the carolina panthers.

1. CB- Besides Claiborne and Hosely nobody really stands out Kirpatrick could be good but he reminds me a lot of richard marshall whom i loved but apparently gets beat down the field to much (won't be a problem with better safeties)

2. FS- I'll say this for the last time if we get rid of Mare and restructure TD we may have enough to afford the best safety available which is Laron Landry

3. DT- Dontari Poe, Fletcher Cox, and Jerel Worthy seem like good picks although Poe is the only player who can move between a 4-3 under tackle and a 3-4 noes tackle which we our gonna have to do unless we want to keep getting killed by Graham and Gonzales.

4.OLB- (only for inssurnce if Thomas davis goes down) I would say get a rush linebacker but we already have two solid ones with a year under there belt

5. OL (Im still not sure about wanting to update an offensive line that protects the leagues 5th overall offense)

I'd like to get Landry, but I fear his injury bug...has he played a full season yet? (I don't follow him or the Redskins closely)

There looks to be only 5 players at this time that would be considered elite and garner trade value.

Luck

Barkley

Kalil

Blackmon

Claiborne

After the top 5, I don't see anyone wanting to trade up for say the 7th, 8th or 9th picks.

If we lose out, we would have a better chance for an elite player or trade. Win one more game and sit at 9, then we take BPA.

Depending on how the combine goes, a couple more QB's might draw some attention from QB starving teams. It's becoming more of a pass happy league so there may be more reaches for QB's this year. One can only hope.

I think RG3 will be a hot commodity.. someone will want to trade up for him.

i hope so.

dolphins, seattle, KC, or even dallas are likely, imo.

Hell no to Laron Landry, dude sucks in cvg, I'd rather take Chris Harris back at his advanced age rather than wasting money on that dude.

Base 3-4 ain't happening.

We desperately need a permanent replacement for TD and a starting caliber CB. Upgrading FS at some point wouldn't bother me, but I don't see it as a glaring need.

I am SICK of huddlers saying we need a new OT. Say what you wana say but Otah will be back next year. Whether you all think we should upgrade or not, it doesnt matter. Hurney has alot of faith in Otah and wont take a OT early.

Too bad faith has nothing to do with players staying healthy. Hurney also showed faith in Dan Morgan, T Davis and a couple others.

I love Otah, he's a true difference maker BUT he's missed more games than he's played in and that's pretty condemning at this stage of his career.

[rayzor]

otah has shown no ability to be relied upon.

he won't be getting an extension unless it's as a backup, which is the only way that he should be viewed and even then he makes me nervous.

he's talented, but he's not what you would call a warrior or durable.

1) Colts (0-16)- Andrew Luck QB/ Stanford

2) Rams (2-14)- Matt Kalil OT/ USC

3) Redskins (4-12)- Robert Griffin III QB/ Baylor

4) Vikings (4-12)- Riley Reiff OT/ Iowa

5) Buccaneers (4-12)- Morris Claiborne CB/ LSU

6) Jaguars (5-11)- Justin Blackmon WR/ Oklahoma State

7) Dolphins (5-11)- Matt Barkley QB/ USC

8) Browns (5-11)- Trent Richardson HB/ Alabama

9) Panthers (6-10)- Dre Kirkpatrick CB/ Alabama

10) Chiefs (6-10)- Manti Te'o ILB/ Notre Dame

[Jackofalltrades]

I can live with that, though I wouldn't rule QB out for Jax which could open up the possibility of Blackmon.

I think Te'o decided to go back to college.

I think Cleveland will be a team that might trade back for Trent Richardson for a team desperate for a QB, especially if they are right before the Skins.
