"Because fans make football more than a kids' game"
C3 Carolina Panthers newsfeed brings the latest Panthers news and opinions from the fan perspective.
Though you can expect the Panthers to be active in Free Agency this year under a new regime; they will need to have a good draft if they want to make a deeper playoff run this year. Here are some early round targets that can inject some much-needed youth and talent into the Carolina Panthers.
Read MoreThe lack of wide receiver depth and talent haunted the Carolina Panthers in 2017. In the playoffs, Carolina started Russell Shepard, Devin Funchess and Moze Frazier. Yikes. With Norv Turner running the offense next season, look for Carolina to give him the tools to be successful.
Read MoreThe departure of Josh Norman leaves an already thin cornerback corp in a scary position. If the NFL season were to open today the starters on the outside would consist of Robert McClain and Bené Benwikere; Brandon Boykin would lock down the slot. Benwikere played well on the outside during his rookie season, but a full season away from the position and a late season broken leg puts him in a precarious situation.

After this experience, it is safe to say that predicting all nine Panther selections is a hard. Very hard. It did get off to a good start however, when I mocked Shaq Thompson to Carolina in round one. Here are the several reasons why I thought he’d be the choice at #25.
Read MoreThe draft is just a few days away, and this your final chance to speak out. In this article I will list the offensive and defensive poll winners from the previous parts of this series. These winners, for the most part, were in reach of the Panther’s #25 pick in this first round based on Drafttek’s mock. In case you didn’t know, C3’s very own “Mel Mayock” (@PantherDrafter) does the picks and write-ups for the Panthers on Drafttek; it is definitely worth a look if you haven't already done so. Poll voting ends at 4 PM draft day, and the winner will be announced via social media around that time. So without further adieu, here are the players you Panther fans voted for.

Read MoreAs we take another look into the Carolina Panthers 2015 offseason, much speculation has raised that Dave Gettleman and company should look at Todd Gurley, running back out of Georgia. And, if you’re asking for my unprofessional opinion, I say we take him. Jonathan Stewart came on strong at the end of 2014, but has not played an entire season since 2011. With the release of longtime Panther DeAngelo Williams, it is certain we will need another back to help share the load.
