Locked On Panthers

The 2024 NFL Draft has come to a close as the Carolina Panthers welcome a seven-man draft class to Charlotte. Carolina went in with several glaring needs and adequately addressed almost all of them through the three days in Detroit. The biggest was the need to surround Bryce Young with more offensive talent. The Panthers wasted no time by trading into the first round to select South Carolina WR Xavier Legette, and then on Day 2, traded back then up in the second round to select Texas RB Jonathon Brooks. Finally, to begin Day 3 of the draft, Carolina addressed the hole at tight end by selecting Ja'Tavion Sanders from Texas. The Panthers have undergone a makeover on defense as stalwarts Brian Burns, Donte Jackson, Frankie Luvu, and Jeremy Chinn all departed during the free agency period. Carolina added to all three levels by drafting Kentucky LB Trevin Wallace, in the third round, Washington State DB Chau Smith-Wade, in the fifth round, and then Mississippi State DT Jaden Crumedy and Michigan LB Michael Barrett

The Carolina Panthers headed into the final day of the 2024 NFL Draft with glaring needs at tight end and cornerback and wasted no time on Saturday afternoon in Detroit by addressing those two positions. The Panthers opened the day by selecting Texas TE Ja'Tavion, who enters a tight end room lead by Tommy Tremble and Ian Thomas. Julian Council explains why he believes Sanders is the perfect complement to those two veterans. Then, in the fifth round, the Panthers selected Washington State CB Chau Smith-Wade to add depth to the position group. Despite the addition of Smith-Wade, Julian believes that the door is open for Stephon Gilmore to make a return to Carolina. During free agency, rebuilding the the offensive line was on of the Panthers main objectives, as the team struggled mightily on that side of the line of scrimmage in 2023. But it wasn't just the offensive side of the ball where the Panthers failed in the trenches. Outside of Derrick Brown, Carolina was arguable just as poor on the defensive line. To

The Carolina Panthers had a busy Day 2 of the 2024 NFL Draft as Panthers GM Dan Morgan maneuvered his way up and down the draft board on Friday night. After the dust settled, Carolina ended up with another offensive weapon in Texas RB Jonathon Brooks, and a potential successor to Shaq Thompson, in Kentucky LB Trevin Wallace. Julian Council reacts to a entertaining Day 2 and why the Panthers plan appears to be addressing future needs opposed to be laser focused on the present. While the Panthers addressed areas that weren't considered to be high priorities from outside the building, they've gone through the first two days without adding a tight end or cornerback.

During the 2023 season, the Carolina Panthers WR room earned the unenviable label as the worst in the NFL. Because of that, the Panthers went to work this offseason to help put pieces around Bryce Young. To this point, the only major addition the Panthers have made at WR is the trade for former Pittsburgh Steelers wideout Diontae Johnson. Carolina does return veteran slot receiver Adam Thielen, fresh off of a 1,000 yard season, and will bring back Jonathan Mingo for his sophomore season. Do the Panthers have enough in the receiver room to help Bryce Young in 2024? Julian Council explains why he believes the Panthers top priority in the draft should be wide receiver and lists prospects who could fit in Carolina. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monopoly GO!Get in the game and join your friends.

Entering the 2024 NFL Draft, the Carolina Panthers cornerback room could be seen as among the most volatile on the roster. Why? Well, the health concerns of former first round pick Jaycee Horn has a lot to do with the position groups outlook heading into the draft. Undoubtedly,  Horn is a phenomenal player when he's on the field. The problem is Horn has missed 29 of the first 51 games of his NFL career, calling into question is future with the team past 2024. How will Horn's health issues impact the Panthers plans in the draft next week?Whether Horn is able to stay healthy or not, the Panthers need to find long-term options in the CB room.
