6th Round - Carolina selects RB Tyler Gaffney, Stanford


Ruff

Recommended Posts

I like Gaffney, but I would have much rather had Hurst, Richardson, or Abberderis here. I think there's a good chance we get at least one of those guys as UDFA's though at this point. Remember last year everyone bitched about not getting Lester when we picked Barner.

 

 

abberderis was gone

More likely that we just don't care for what we see in Kenjon Barner so we move on from him.

so then what does that say about our GMs scouting ability?

there was talent that stuck around that we passed on last year so we could take barner who was supposedly the bpa.

at this point i think it's all throwing darts at a draft board blindfolded.

perfect opportunity to take a shot on an OT that coud help and you draft an RB who will likely see the field as much as the RB we spent a late round pick on last year? lol. at this point i think it's bordering on just being stubborn.

I posted this early, I was partially correct

 

David Gettleman is going to be skyping in today. I have a strong theory that the following will occur in real time. Somewhere a man wearing a fake moustache is pacing slowly around Bank of America Stadium. He will find his entry and walk straight to the war room.

In round 4 he will casually suggest his highest ranked player is a RB, and in round 5, and 6 and 7. Without Gettle there and Riverboat Ron too hungover from gambling all night, the scouts will listen to this man and his fake moustache. Suddenly, after round 7 and 4 straight RBs taken, Rivera will stir "Hmm I've smelled that before"

Rivera's football instincts take over, and he hunts down the man like a lion stalking a weak gazelle. Tearing off the moustache he reveals none other than......Marty Hurney!!!

Security will pull Hurney away, as he kicks and screams he will plead, "I can save you! I will save you Panther! I love you Panther!"

Rivera will shed a single tear.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
