it seems like for a long time now the plan has been for Jonathan Brooks to be their starter by the end of the season if he's capable of of being that.

High-ceiling RB3 with clear path to starting role despite early-season committee risk

Pat Daugherty views drafting Jonathan Brooks as an RB3 as a logical move, driven by the Panthers' coaching staff's consistent 'contribute now' stance rather than external hype. Despite his two-year injury history and limited practice time, the team's long-term plan signals he is intended to be the starter by season's end. While his ADP has risen to the fifth round (5.03), creating some floor concerns due to potential early-season committee usage, he is still viewed as a high-ceiling asset who should be prioritized over players like Bucky Irving, Cam Akers, and Braelon Allen.
