Like I said, cant really have BPA, you can only have tiers, unless there is no other player in that same tier left on the board (usually not the case). 

 

Drafting is pretty MUCH always a combination of talent, skill, potential, need, and organizational fit.

So then you'd have some way of ranking within that tier, need, fit, etc and still make draft day relatively easy. Hell of a lot of work which I'm sure they pay a lot of good money to do.

Plenty of college OT play at that weight so your argument doesn't hold much water weight either.

Hey man, good point. Smith is a beast. I just think gettleman wants some serious beef in his long term Oline.

Also, off of film, humpries was a 3rd rounder until the combine.. its hype man.

You know who had unbelievable combine numbers? Bruce Campbell.

People said the same thing about Ja'Wuan James last year too. Went 19th to Miami and had he made it to 28th he would be in Carolina right now.

Humphries also showed the same fluidity and foot speed on tape. People just never really got around to examining him with all the other more known OT's declaring.

247Sports NFL Mock Draft v. 3.0 also has us taking Humphries:

(off the board were Scherff, Peat, La'el Collins, and Flowers)

25. Carolina Panthers – D.J. Humphries, OT, Florida

No offensive lineman helped their stock at the NFL Combine more than Humphries, who showcased left tackle athleticism in Indianapolis. When scouts go back to watch his film, they will find a nasty blocker with the wingspan and recovery speed to match up with pass rushers in the NFL. Cam Newton deserves a franchise blindside protector, and in Humphries, Dave Gettleman fixes the biggest mistake of 2014 – not replacing Jordan Gross with comparable talent.

      Evero and the pass rush

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
