Kudos to the Panthers webmaster for getting all the picks right on the roster. 9 OL. 8 that we've even heard of.

 

good thoughts. I'd say that 8 we know, though, is made up of quality guys. I feel a veteran coming on, and certainly we'll get 6-8 UDFAs.

 

Well we're def signing a FA this week to improve our depth. Guys like Kwame Harris and Jonas Jennings are possibilities. Wouldnt be surprised to see us re-sign Jeremy Bridges.

You gotta feel good about our roster right now.....no major weakneses

 

Jeremy Bridges would make me feel a lot better. I don't think his off the field problems were that bad.

 

I feel pretty good about our OL now that Robinson is on board. We probably still need to sign a cheap vet for depth but I am pretty happy with what we have now. Gross and Wharton can both play either tackle spot should we get hit with injuries. Schwartz has potential and Robinson will push Vincent.

 

we will be able to add a vet, for sure.

 

Still feel a little queasy about DT. We couldn't stop the run last year, and I'm not sure we got better.

 

They suck.

 

Me too. However, I think we added a good player with Irvin. I think the DL will be poor with a couple of injuries, but I don't think it will be a disaster. Unless some of these guys are surprises, the OL could fall completely apart with injuries.

I don't think there's a lot out there to beef it up with.

 

We can add a guy who was, in theory, a great run stopper for the one gap in Larry Tripplett, who was with Meeks for four years. That would be solid, but not lifesaving.

Robertson is also a possibility.

Not that an OL and a DL that haven't been picked up by this time of year will make your roster special suddenly.
But to go into the draft knowing you need two DTs that day, as opposed to hoping to get one and then filling other needs if they come available instead, is a big deal. Getting Robinson because we weren't forced to pick an OT in his place is a big deal.
