2014 Panthers
QB Chad Voytik
RB James Conner, Isaac Bennett, and Chris James
FB Jaymar Parrish
TE JP Holtz and Scott Ordoff & Manessa Garnerr
WR Tyler Boyd, Manessa Garner, and Kevin Weatherspoon... Maybe IFill, Ford, or an incoming fresh steps up and fills the obvious void
OL T/G Dorian Johnson, T TJ Clemmings, G Matt Rotheram, C Rowell, G? Maybe a Carson Baker, or Jones-Smith steps up and takes the other G position. I think we're thin on starting positions but w/ the incoming class we'll start to see some depth up front and some nice position battles.
DL: DE, not much changes. Rotation again should be between Durnham, Price, Soto, and Murphy. Hopefully S&C gets each to around 250 this offseason, if not bigger. Got high hopes for Soto. DT: saying that losing Ezell and Donald is an understatement. It's huge. Hopefully Render and Smith take the bull by the horns and runs w/ it. Not much depth behind them besides Taleni. Might need Conner Dintino to have some role right away in a 4 man rotation.
LB: Even though Gordon and Gonzalez are graduating, the LB corpse can't be worse... right? Got Galambos, Caprara, Grigsby, and Bradley fighting for two spots while Thomas fills the ROLB.
DB's: CB's: Titus Howard, Trenton Coles, and Lafayette Pitts... S: Ray Vinopal and Terrish Webb. Defensive backfield will likely be one of the youngest units on the team. May very well have two true So. starters next to Pitts and Vinopal. Don't really see anyone else on the roster that got as much PT this year as Howard, Coles, and Webb in the backfield. Have to assume the job is theirs unless they lose it and/or Davidson comes in right away and takes the job. But I think Davidson, Amara, and other DB recruits are likely to be redshirted.
