  1. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25169572/nfl-draft-panthers-get-d-for-picking-shaq-thompson-at-no(w/ vid) 25 (Grade: D) Panthers select: Shaq Green-Thompson, OLB, Washington I don't get this pick at all. They have a major need on the offensive line. Where does Thompson play? http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/4/30/8525679/2015-nfl-draft-grades-buccaneers-titans-giants-cowboys-browns-saints 25. Carolina Panthers - Shaq Thompson, LB, Washington What is Thompson in the NFL? A safety? A linebacker? On a team like Carolina, whereThomas Davis has been a stalwart, I'm still not sure. You wonder if Panthers had their eyes on offensive tackles and went Thompson after six tackles were picked ahead of them. From that standpoint, it's understandable. Instead of getting the seventh tackle, they get Thompson, the draft's top pure weak-side linebacker, assuming he plays there. Grade: C+ I just wonder what all the other analysts think considering that none of him had him mocked in the first which makes me wonder if we could have waited until 57 to get him. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/mock-drafts(It just disturbs me that Thompson isn't projected anywhere) From what Mayock said, most of the analysts had Thompson mocked on day 2 or 3 (i.e., Shaq's a reach). Ironically, I just heard Louis Riddick question the pick on Mike & Mike, and said we could have gotten him later. Now there are plenty of positive things that have been said about Shaq, regardless if he was a reach. He is apparently a helluva football player which always bodes well. I guess it's all gonna depend on the application and integration of Shaq into the defense. I gotta say that this is really the first time that I feel some real anxiety about Gettleman's steadfastness to his philosophy. I am wondering if the steadfastness is turning to stubbornness. I guess we'll find out as the days go on.
  2. I seriously doubt it. Ozzie Newsome doesn't draft first round busts.

  4. Probably would have been able to get him in the second from what I've been reading. Interesting.
  5. poo man, WR is not a luxury pick for us. We need one.
  6. Yeah, I don't think Glanton is chopped liver. I just hope Thompson was brought here to be a safety.
  7. I always thought that we would move up in the second to take a receiver, but now I don't believe it. The will is not there.
  8. Seeing the Cardinals hand our ass to us via Jake Delhomme was pretty low.
