Football Outsiders: Carolina Panthers top offseason needs

Not a good article.

in what way?

If we we did bring in a real, honest to Zod, #2 corner. Hogan may could then be allowed to do PR. As he would not really be considered an actual starter. Then he can play nickel with Capt and Butller.

My giddy says win win. And GOOOOO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But what if Hogan is a "real, honest to Zod, #2?" Do we just ignore other, more dire, needs just so he can be our PR? If the coaches feel he can be a legitimate #2, then that is what he needs to play, and we can use the high draft pick/money to fill other needs.

Hogan is as known as anyone in the draft. What I can say about him: Toward the end of the season he played in a few games. Most people said they didn't realize he was in the game. How often does a rookie CB come in the game when he is not picked apart by the opposing QB? I think the fact that he played quietly is a very good sign.
