The GM must love this song and think it applies to the draft

Do the Panthers get a trophy for having the most points? I always thought the draft was for adding good, young, cheap players instead of points. Silly me.

That's why you do what they did in the first and take the guy you want where you are at instead of trying to play everyone else.

How many roster spots do they have open?

That was a smokescreen!

Most of those guys I listed wouldn't be in the hall of fame or multi time mvps if teams didn't stick with them or if other teams didn't give them another chance either. Sometimes it takes guys more than three years to get it together no matter the sport.

Is Cam Newton a good QB? He's thrown more interceptions the last two years than touchdowns. Was Jake Delhomme a good QB? He had some seasons he threw more interceptions. How about Brett Favre? Yep, he had seasons he threw more interceptions too. Peyton Manning? Him too. Terry Bradshaw? Yeah, him also. You can go on and on. The point being the majority of QBs have had years where they threw more picks than TDs, mostly in their first few years or just before retiring. They all had chances or are still getting chances. Let Darnold have his chance too.

We don't know for sure Darnold can't be a franchise QB. You think he can't be because he sucked while playing for one of the worst teams in modern NFL history. Unless things have drastically changed for the Jets, Wilson won't be a franchise guy for them just like all the others that didn't pan out there. As I've said since they traded for him, give Darnold a better supporting cast and hopefully better coaching. Then see what he can do. At best, the team has their guy. At worst, the Panthers are looking for a QB again next year. As for why not taking a chance? It seems they like Darnold more, but you'll have to ask the Panthers FO to be sure.

Norman was not a complete CB. Corner has been an issue since Gamble was here.

Free safety has been a need just as long as CB and LT have been. I wouldn't mind seeing that position addressed, but my preference is taking the best tackle available.

And it seems the FO believes in Darnold more than Fields.

There's probably a drug for that. Maybe you need to see a doctor.

This is your problem. You're assuming Fields is a surefire can't miss franchise QB when he hasn't played one second in the NFL yet. Fields, like all the others taken last night, are pretty good prospects. And that is all they are until they play and prove things one way or the other.

It'll probably be a QB when it happens which will really tick some people off.

Same goes for any other player at any other position that was picked. Top ten picks should be impact players. The FO thinks Horn is one. Hopefully they are right.

And how many QBs, tackles, WRs, DTs, and whatever else you want to name never came close to living up to expectations? The draft is a crapshoot.

I kid!

They're trying to squeeze every last cent out of anything NFL related.

My fault. I misread it.
