毫無疑問Carolina以四年1900萬簽下Keyshawn Johnson是整個國聯南區最棒的一步棋。Keyshawn Johnson讓對方的防守部隊能夠將眼光從Steve Smith身上移開。Keyshawn去年和Terry Glenn(達拉斯牛仔)一起先發而DVOA只有-0.1，這意味著他只是普通人而不再是一名巨星。但即使Keyshawn Johnson只是一名平均水準的接球員，他吸引防守球員的能力仍能夠幫助黑豹的進攻。當然，前提是Delhomme願意傳球給他。
在西雅圖重新簽下Shaun Alexander之後，卡羅萊那感覺到他們有必要簽下DeShaun Foster。本站一向不喜歡他，一名常常受傷而無法持續做出貢獻的球員。去年，DeShaun在3場比賽中爆發，兩場對上獵鷹(聯盟最爛的跑陣防守)以及季後賽第一輪對巨人(全隊最佳的線衛因傷未能上場)。別期待他明年在對上擁有Lawyer Milloy的獵鷹時還能兩場合計拿下300碼。
在防守端方面，黑豹釋出了防守絆鋒Brentson Buckner以節省薪資空間。在Buckner離開而Kris Jenkins又應該會受傷的情況下，球隊簽下兩名此位置的球員來增加陣容深度:6呎5吋，350磅的Maake Kemoeatu非常能夠佔據空間，在烏鴉的4年中他讓Edgerton Hartwell和Ray Lewis對對方的持球員進行壓迫。從公羊來的Damione Lewis是Jenkins一旦又碰上整季報銷的傷勢時的最佳備胎。Jenkins, Lewis, Kemoeatu,和Jordan Carstens將會提供黑豹在2006年在防守絆鋒上一個穩定的輪換陣容。
外線衛Will Witherspoon離開轉投公羊。Witherspoon能夠補足Dan Morgan的不足，在2005球季有80刺擒抱、2.5次擒殺和2次抄截。可同時兼打安全衛和線衛的二年級生Thomas Davis最有可能接替他的位置，但是Carolina也有可能利用選秀來補強這個位置。
Draft Preview
即使簽下了Keyshawn，黑豹仍然有必要去提升他們的進攻。在第27順位上黑豹可以參考去年鋼人所採取的策略。去年鋼人利用第30順位選來邊鋒Heath Miller。這名新人去年在邊鋒的排名是第五名，而他也確實將鋼人的傳球攻擊提升到另一個空間。今年應該會有3名邊鋒有第一輪的身手:Maryland的Vernon Davis、Georgia的Leonard Pope和UCLA的Marcedes Lewis。排名第三的Lewis有機會被黑豹選走，他會是個明顯的目標並減輕Smith的壓力。
Carolina應該利用後段的選秀權來增加陣容深度，尤其是在防守絆鋒和外線衛這兩個在自由球員市場上遭受損失的位置上。黑豹最好再選一名跑衛，尤其是這個位置的主戰球員過去幾年傷病不斷。

In arguably the best free agent move in the NFC South, Carolina signed Keyshawn Johnson to a four-year, $19 million deal. Keyshawn provides a much needed weapon to keep five defenders away from Steve Smith. No longer a superstar, Keyshawn lined up across from Terry Glenn last year and contributed a DVOA of -0.1 percent, meaning he was nearly exactly average. But even if Keyshawn’s only an average receiver, his ability to draw defenders should help the Carolina offense. That is, of course, if Jake Delhomme will just give him the damn ball.
After Seattle re-signed Shaun Alexander, Carolina felt the need to re-sign DeShaun Foster. Football Outsiders has shown no love for Foster, an oft-injured, inconsistent running back. Last year, DeShaun exploded for three games: two against Atlanta, the worst run defense in the league, and one against a Giants team playing the game without a first-string linebacker on the field. Don’t expect Foster to run for a combined 300 yards against the Falcons next year when he has to stare down Lawyer Milloy in the box.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Panthers released veteran defensive tackle Brentson Buckner to get under the salary cap. With Buckner gone, and Kris Jenkins perpetually injured, Carolina signed two defensive tackles to provide depth. Maake Kemoeatu, a 6-foot-5 350-pound space-eating tackle, let Ray Lewis and Edgerton Hartwell destroy opposing ball carriers in Baltimore for four years. Damione Lewis, a former Ram, will provide depth at defensive tackle if and when Kris Jenkins goes down with another season-ending injury. Jenkins, Lewis, Kemoeatu, and Jordan Carstens should provide a steady rotation of defensive tackles for the Panthers in 2006.
Carolina lost outside linebacker Will Witherspoon to the St. Louis Rams. Witherspoon complemented Dan Morgan well, and finished 2005 with 80 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and two interceptions. Second year safety/linebacker tweener Thomas Davis will likely step into his spot, but Carolina might look to the draft to replace him.
Draft Preview
Even with the signing of Keyshawn Johnson, Carolina still needs to upgrade its offense. Drafting 27th, Carolina could look to go a similar route as Pittsburgh did in 2005. With the 30th pick in the draft last year, the Pittsburgh Steelers drafted tight end Heath Miller. The rookie ranked fifth in DVOA among tight ends last year, adding an extra dimension to Pittsburgh’s passing offense. This year, three tight ends look to go in the first round: Maryland’s Vernon Davis, Georgia’s Leonard Pope, and UCLA’s Marcedes Lewis. Lewis, the third-ranked tight end in the draft, should fall to Carolina, where he would provide a big target and take even more pressure off Steve Smith.
Carolina will look to add depth all around in the later rounds of the draft. The Panthers will shore up their defensive tackle and outside linebacker positions, which have been hurt in free agency. Carolina could grab another running back as well, since this position has been marred by inconsistent performance and injuries over the past few years.
