I was thinking about the overall veracity of our Free Agency this off season, and it slowly dawned on me that they are putting a lot of necessary pieces together in free agency that will take the pressure off the draft, allowing us to pick more towards skill level than position need.
We have always been told the Panthers "always" draft the best player available, but that, in reality at least, is not true. They have skipped many excellent players in the draft to pick some favorite of somebody or a scout whoever, etc, who ended up not working out for the long haul.
Given that the get at least *most* of the NEED positions filled in free agency and believe they have what the need in order to compete on Sundays, it frees up a whole lot of decisions come draft day.
Thoughts?
