Will Gettleman be tempted to draft Gurley @ 25?

-the top 3 WR, top 3 LT and Landon Collins will likely be gone by #25. (3 biggest needs) 

-Gettlemen will not reach just to fill a need. (i.e. Devin Smith, Sambrailo)

-Gettlemen will take BPA.

-Gettlemen will likely fill some needs in FA especially OL & WR. 

-No telling how long D.Will, Hardy or Charles Johnson will be around. (hopefully Hardy is re-signed and CJ is extended)

 

...so at this point, (before the combine & FA ) I think the Panthers could take RB Todd Gurley, CB Marcus Peters or DE Alvin Dupree because they could be BPA and fill a need.

Gettleman has repeatedly said that he will pick the BPA, not the best value available. He has also put this in action in both drafts. If Gurley grades out as the best (which is possible, though not probable IMO), we will pick him.

 

On this...

 

They had Marquis Lee ever slightly ahead of KB when it came to grading them out. They flagged Lee as undraftable due to injuries though and went with KB.

Well that's not very appropriate when referencing someone with the talent of Todd Gurley, but to each his own.  

 

I have read a few articles suggesting that Gurley may still get drafted in the first round if he gets the thumbs up by teams' medical staff.  Even if he doesn't, the only reason that he won't be a first round pick is due to the injury, so I still think that your response is over the top.

i would like to think we've moved on from overvaluing RBs and drafting them in the first round.

Well, everyone has an opinion, but I agree with this one:

 

 

Third round? That's ridiculous. He'll be long gone by the time we pick in the second. He could even be gone by 25 tbh. This "RB position is dead" "take" is completely overblown. The only reason a RB hasn't been taken in the first recently is because there hasn't been one worth taking. Gurley is the best talent since Peterson and will almost certainly go in the first round if he's cleared medically. Daniel Jeremiah put it best in his podcast recently. If you have a stud RB talent and so-so talent at other positions you take the RB. That's going to be the case as the bottom half of round one shakes out.

no way will i be disappointed if we pass him by.

 

we have huge needs at OT and WR and could really use help in the secondary.

 

RB needs are easily enough met by guys picked later or out of FA. a better line and improved passing game will do more for the run game than picking some RB in the first. i don't care how good he is.

 

and this team will be better off addressing those needs at OT, WR, and in the secondary early than if we spent/wasted another early pick on an RB.

And if there's no OT/WR or DB worth the 25th pick?

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
