Carolina Panthers 2010 NFL draft needs

March 22nd 2010 14:56
The Carolina Panthers 2010 NFL draft needs are simple and I will discuss them here. The Carolina Panthers need at least two wide receivers in the 2010 NFL draft, then some defensive linemen and possibly a quarterback late in the draft.

Steve Smith has been begging for a fast wide receiver to supplement him and I have the Panthers going that route in my 2010 NFL mock draft with their first pick. Despite the fact that Julius Peppers has gone to Chicago, I think the Panthers biggest need in 2010 is wide receivers.


I have called for John Fox to be fired in the past but he is getting hosed by the Carolina Panthers. Carolina is dumping veteran players like Jake Delhomme ( a good move) and Brad Hoover ( a bad one) and not replacing them. Read here to see my take on the Delhomme release.

The Carolina Panthers 2010 draft needs have to address the wide receiver position. The offense is vanilla enough without Steve Smith being handcuffed each week. Rookie wide receivers tend to struggle but somebody fast could take some pressure off of Steve Smith.

But at the same time the Panthers offense is good enough to win games if Matt Moore is not a bust. The Panthers best positions are running back and offensive line which plays into John Fox’s love of the running game.

The defensive line must be addressed as well by the Carolina Panthers in the 2010 NFL draft. Look for the team to try to find a undersized but fast defensive end in the 3rd or 4th round.

Perfect post. I honestly could not agree more. Steve Smith actually said he really wants to be playing out of the slot and to have a good, young receiver turn into the number one. Smith holds this belief. He may retire early because he does not want to get a serious injury and make his family suffer through it. Smith is a great guy, my favorite NFL player, the best WR in the NFL skill-wise, and is an intern at MorganStanley. The Panthers need a pass rusher either at DE or OLB, but preferably DE because they need size. A quarterback in the late rounds would serve well. I am a fan of Penn State's Darryl Clark. Matt Moore is way better than Jake Delhomme. I agree with the good and bad move part as well. John Fox should not be fired unless if there is a better coach on the market that has good interest in Carolina.

I agree about Steve Smith, he would be a Hall of Fame player with a good QB and supporting cast, and may be anyway.

Smith is a Hall of Fame player. He was awarded the Triple Crown of Receiving, has accumulated many great stats, Smith has played in a Super Bowl, and he has also made a ton of extremely clutch plays. His jersey should be retired by the Panthers. Smith was also arguably the best returner in the league early in his career. Smith is the greatest Panther of All Time and deserves no less than a HOF enshrinement. He would crush all of Moss's stats if he had the QBs Moss had.
