I just don't see a ton of options there, and I definitely don't see the Panthers trading Burns. Maybe Davenport? I think they continue to build through the draft and take that guy somewhere in the first 2 rounds. [Reply]

Yup. I think pass rusher and WR is a good bet for the first 2 rounds with OL and corner taken in the mid rounds.
Clark may be an eyesore but drafting a guy like Danna who is providing results sure helps [Reply]

Definitely. I think we will pay Orlando Brown Jr (hopefully to a fair deal) and maybe Juju too.
I think we need to focus on WR and Corner with the uncertainty. I love our rookies but Fenton is likely gone next year and Sneed the year after.
I think ideally you want to extend one guy per class as a standard. Thornhill (if he keeps this up) and Gay would be my vote [Reply]

Feels good man.
I still think it's too early to say we are loaded. Danna is a decent backup, Dunlap is getting old and Karlaftis is completely unproven. Jones will be good but Clark won't stay motivated all season (if past performance shows any prediction of future behavior). It's the spot we need the most help at IMO [Reply]

I certainly would, without a doubt.
Keep drafting at the really expensive positions, and fill in the need spots with FA's. [Reply]

Danna is really a pretty average player, which is excellent value for his draft capital. Same with Wharton.
Clark is...well...he's the same guy he's been until we see different.
We're going to need to draft DE's again next year early.
It's going to be interesting to see what Bart does with the cap room once Frank is off the books. Could be OBJ extension, or extensions for others, but it'll be fun/nice nonetheless. [Reply]
