I'm not buying this whole "blue goose" thing: Yes, I know that it sounds like a total contradiction from me when I decry the use of the term "smokescreen," but the idea of selecting any position at No. 28 just isn't sitting right. Sure it might be an old-school blue-collar football parlance for not getting blinded by need, but charming old guy saying or not, it doesn't sit right. The reason for this is fairly simple, the workouts. If the Panthers were really open to taking anyone in the first round we wouldn't have seen the overwhelming scouting of wide receivers, offensive tackles and cornerbacks in this class. Pair that with an early draft-week visit from Ryan Shazier and it all feels a little too neat and contrived. There's no better way to convince the world you're taking anyone than watching the wheels that have been set in motion, but it's a necessary move given there are two teams right behind Carolina.

it is possible that they were working out every WR, OT and DB they could get their hands on so that they could get good value out of one who happened to fall in the middle rounds.

I think Gettleman is being slightly disingenuous when he suggests BPA. What he means if there is a player whose value you can't ignore is there at 28 you take him. Doesn't mean if you have a DT who is a 23rd pick value and a WR who is 27th pick value you just take the DT because he is slighty better.

 

But id Calvin Pryor falls to 28 you run up and take him without hesitation.

 

Pure BPA makes no sense.

Hurney would probably trade our next 4 first round picks,  in order to move up to the #1 overall spot,  and draft Moses.

Dude, no one on knows what the fug will happen. The whole "panthers with do this or that" is silly. Rumors.

Even when we pick something, how will we even know if its BPA? We might have an idea of what a player is worth but we have no idea in hell what Gmans big board is. We could pick WR, and it could very well be a BPA pick.

Just let the chips fall where they may. These "scources" are full of sshit

Damn near anyone can post an article on there.  It is about as accurate and relevant as a thread in the Huddle.

Man, some of you are seriously gonna be pissed if we draft Shazier, Pryor, Dennard, Su'a-Filo, etc.

For real ??? Su'a is okay but the others would be pumped

Tyler lawan plz :)

I'm not as big a critic of Dator as some on here are, but his reasoning here is flawed.  It essentially breaks down to "I wouldn't do that, so I don't believe Gettleman will either".

 

Bryan Strickland wrote a very good explanation of how the whole 'BPA' philosophy works in his recent bit answering fan questions.

 

Draft strategy revolves around value

 

If you want a better understanding of the thinking behind our draft choices, take a few minutes and read.

BPA can be anything your GM wants it to be, not necessarily based on scouting but philosophy.
