Dave Gettleman: You can't coach 6-5, 240.

One of the things I took away from that video was Gettleman was really high on OBJ. At first he mentioned there was another guy they wanted and thought might be there but wasn't, I immediately thought OBJ.  Then he said multiple times OBJ was the only receiver in the draft that you have no worries about and ran the whole route tree in college.

There's a chance that we join Seattle as the only secondary that has starters at each position over six feet tall.

 

Hell, only nine of the players on the Panthers roster are under six fee tall.

 

Not to mention the fact that we don't have an offensive linemen that ways under 300 lbs.

 

Or the fact that there is only one receiver (Kealoha Pilares) on the roster that isn't at least six feet tall. Hell, even our slot receiver (Jason Avant) is six foot tall.

 

I'm starting to finally understand DG's philosophy... get bigger so you can beat the sh*t out of them.

Earl Thomas who is arguably the best member of the seahawks secondary is 5ft 10.

But other than that i agree

I'm not so sure... OBJ was not going to be there for us and I'm pretty sure he knew that.  He only said that he's the only receiver you have no worries about as a route runner. I'm fairly positive he believes that OBJ's ceiling is low and he has little room for improvement, whereas KB can keep improving and improving and has a higher upside. And I also believe that Gettleman really wanted size at WR, and a red zone target. I have a feeling the guy they wanted was Ju'Wuan James or one of the secondary prospects.

I love listening to DG say Yards.... "Yahds" lol its just entertaining.

 

These guys feel they've made the best choice possible, and I'm behind them!

 

Now, move'n on to the Oline I hope. But, who knows what the future holds...

He's applied the hog-mollie philosophy to all positions..

I was just looking at his signings over the off-season and every one of them is bigger than the average sized player for their position.

yep, he didn't sign one free agent under 6 ft.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
