SI.COM redrafts first round - 4 panther rookies selected

[SeaMonster]

Didn't we change scouting services last year? Seems like we joined with a group of 6/7 teams that included the Steelers and pooled information.

And the pendulum swings back into Gmans favor.  Oh the Huddle....

Consistent drafting is how you...

- insulate against free agent losses

- avoid having to overpay players in contract years

- stay consistent

- keep control of your salary cap

- build a perennial contender

If we keep drafting well, all options are open.

You mean like the Pats? Right?

Pats don't draft as consistently well as they used to (since Scott Pioli left).

They're still effective via free agency though.

[Mr. Scot]

Everybody he drafted in the 2011 draft other than Cam would probably be undrafted in the redraft. Wow.

That'd be true for a couple of other Hurney drafts a well.

And ya gotta figure a retake wouldn't be kind to the guys he traded up for.

This is why I hope someone in the front office has Gettleman's ass on a stationary bike each day for at least 4 hours a day.  Dave is a draft Rainman but will be dead within the next 24 months if someone doesn't get his BMI below 60.

 

For the love of Elohim, get Dave away from the schmaltz.

Ok SI.com is being crappy, can someone please tell me who the 4 players are?

[RickyManningJr]

The only Panther that I disagreed with was Ealy. I'd say he lived up to his expectations as a 2nd round pick but didn't do enough to show that he is a 1st round pick. If they did all seven rounds I think Norwell and Turner could have been in the 2nd round and Philly could have been like a 4th rounder. Overall it was a great draft and if you're looking at performance and potential together Benjamin should be in or at least closer to the top 10.

Don't know what your beef is with Ealy. He made some big plays in the backfield in clutch situations down the stretch.

Star Lotulelei

Kawann Short

AJ Klein

Melvin White

Kelvin Benjamin

Kony Ealy

Trai Turner

Tre Boston

Bene Benwikere

Andrew Norwell

Philly Brown

 

Gettleman only had 11 picks in two years, he could have 11 total this year.

[Plewis]

I have so much confidence in his drafting

 

 

If only he didnt drop our GOAT #89 I'd have 0 complaints.

[Squirrel]

Everybody he drafted in the 2011 draft other than Cam would probably be undrafted in the redraft. Wow.

 

Rhats Hurneys MO hit on the first rounders but the rest of his draft sucks.

 

 

 

So when does Gettleman get a contract extension?

If we keep drafting well, all options are open.

Not to mention, building a roster with talent from top to bottom. Which will by extension, improve the players on STs.

But yeah...a steady influx of talent is the bomb.
