The Panthers were one of the most imbalanced teams in football during Ron Rivera’s first season as a head coach.
The offense was one of the most explosive groups in the league; the defense was absolutely dreadful. Looking at the team’s depth chart, we’d expect G.M. Matty Hurney to spend most of his attention this offseason on the defense.
There really isn’t a spot on the team’s defense that couldn’t use help. They need more depth and talent at virtually every position.
Fans may want another wide receiver, but that should be low on the list of priorities. The team has some young talent behind Steve Smith and the offense will be fine because of Cam Newton, a solid offensive line, and two talented running backs.
