You only need to watch the first couple of minutes of each to get the gist of the reactions.

I'm not sure Dan and Dave have the luxury to slow walk this thing. That defense has got to drastically improve or this pick will not cover for them. Someone will be sacrificed and the heat will be turned on. Billionaire owns do not subscribe to long rebuilds, especially those over 75 years old. D&D have the same pressure regardless of who they drafted yesterday or today and tomorrow. The basement has been found and they better get out of it this season or the boo's will be back in force.

Dan and Dave cannot afford to go 5-12 again this year. God forbid they do worse.

This is true. Now that I've had time to absorb what happened last night I do believe the Panthers made the right move. It has a 50/50 chance of working out for them so there's that. But if they don't do something about that defense they will not increase their win total for the season.

You just proved my point. Anyone willing to trade back with us for more picks is the winner every time.

In otherwords an OLB and a CB.

But odds say you will swap a future starter for nothing more than an average backup. In playing the what if game I favor playing the odds. If my war chest was full I may challenge conventional wisdom now and then. Where they are in their rebuild they cannot afford to waste future assets on 1 player.

This news makes me extremely nervous.

I don't like giving up future picks on players that you may need that future pick to replace. This team is not in any condition to afford giving up drafts picks in its current state. When they build a team that can have back to back playoff appearances then we can talk.

He's a good choice as well.

Starks went to the Ravens I think. They put a lot of work into Emmanwori before the draft so I wouldn't be shocked he he is their first choice. But they have looked into the UVA safety as well so they have options.

I'm not so sure. There is a lot of guys who can play a 3-4 OLB and rush the passer into the late 2nd early 3rd.

He didn't create presser on any of those plays. Someone else caused the pressure and Walker cleaned up on it. You have to look at everyone on the D-line and their impact on the play. He gets credit for the sack yes but you have to put those into context. No pressure in the middle he cannot get home. The qb holds the ball too long he gets credit for a sack because someone else forced the qb into him. But that has to be taken into context or you get another Burns. He is good no doubt but not as good as one thinks.

Pass on trading future picks. No on offering future pics. Stay put or use late round pics in THIS draft only.

I commented on that particular play. If you want me to breakdown those pressures and sacks please post them and I will.

I think there's a lot of truth in what you said.

It's definitely a huge gamble with Pearce Jr. But Walker is a good pick that will haunt the team for a long time. If Pearce pans out then we are in trouble.

The qb held the ball too long on that play. That's on the qb.

Not really. A lot of them think they overdrafted and paid too much for Pearce Jr. I can agree with most of that.

I don't think any fanbase is completely happy with their teams draft picks this morning. It's just that kind of draft.

I'm hoping they land Sawyer in the 3rd. He was the best player OSU had in my opinion and the reason their defense was dominant.

It's just a bad draft for real top end talent. I think I'm more upset over that fact than anyone the Panthers could take.

It's either pass rusher or secondary in round 2. Whichever you do not get in round 2 you have to get in round 3. After that it's hoping and praying you can find anyone who can contribute somewhere on the team.

Can I like the pick and still be butthurt? The rules around here seem to change daily.
