I gotta know.

 

What makes you such an expert on who to draft and who not to draft?

 

Do you go to colleges and meet these players? 

Do you have them come to Charlotte for a workout?

Spend hours upon hours going over tape?

 

You're probably the same guy that goes.     "I don't know why we drafted him in the 2nd when he is a fourth round talent."

 

Gettleman has said time and time again.  We are not going to reach for a player.  

 

Finally, how many players did we keep off the UDFA group last year? 

 

lighten up Francis everyone has their own opinion and are entitled to it.

Some things about Andrew Norwell.

Ranked as the #19 guard on draft countdown: http://www.draftcountdown.com/Rankings/OG.php

Can play both guard and tackle: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/andrew-norwell?id=2549965

Strengths Outstanding size. Gritty competitor. Plays an old-school, backyard-brawler brand of football and seeks to finish blocks. Functional positional run blocker. Good versatility -- has played both tackle positions and can serve as an emergency tackle in a pinch. Three-year starter in the Big Ten Conference.

Weaknesses Can improve weight-room strength -- only bench-pressed 225 pounds 22 times. Inconsistent technician. Lacks ideal agility to handle edge speed and can be challenged by quick inside rushers and counter moves. Lumbers to the second level.

Draft Projection Rounds 6-7

Bottom Line Big-bodied brawler who does not look pretty but consistently finds a way to get the job done in confined quarters and has the makeup of a sixth offensive lineman. Versatility could allow to be drafted late and eventually work his way into a starting lineup with continued development.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
