Dion Jordan Suspended for the 2015 season

Exactly. I knew that end up as a disaster. Jordan has thrived at LB, not DE. Very, very doltish of The Fins to attempt such a thing. I don't care if he's a tweener. Give him a shot at LB. If not, then, as you stated don't draft him.

 

Yep, Gettleman said that there are quite a few really good edge rusher prospects in this draft who fit in a 3-4 scheme.  He basically said that they're gonna be good NFL players, but we're not drafting them because there's no scheme fit for us.  He did say he assigns them a round value though, I assume for trade purposes.  If he's sitting there and the BPA is a 3-4 edge rusher, then maybe that's an indication that we should be answering the phones for potential trades.

I would LOVE that scenario!

2013 turned out to be a very weak draft class (which i guess isn't surprising when an OT out of the Mid-American Conference was the #1 overall pick: Eric Fisher)

thoughts on that draft:

-We are very fortunate we got Star and Kawann

-everyone made fun of the Cowboys for taking C Travis Frederick at #31 and now it looks genius

-crazy how the Saints came out with a their starting LT from that draft (Terron Armstead at #75) as well as Kenny Stills at #144 in the 5th

-in hindsight, 3 of the Top 4 RBs taken should have gone much higher:

#37 Giovani Bernard

#48 Le'Veon Bell

[#58 Montee Ball]

#61 Eddie Lacy

also Andre Ellington went at #187 in the 6th

Dion Jordan is looking like a bust. Isn't that entire drafts first couple of picks looking bad?

 

Except for Ansah on Detroit the entire top 10 picks of that draft are questionable now, with some busts starting to surface like Jordan.  Still tons of time to turn it around for those guys though.

    • Someone correct me- doesn't Dave have a six year contract??? I think Dan Morgan does as well..... that's the price you have to pay once you get a rep for firing HCs....  
    • Brother re-check that guarantee...my page shows 30mill.....thats means he's staying in my book for at least til the end of 2026.  Im going to be my normal honest self, besides watching like half of the SB, I didn't know the guy. My guess is Panthers have a "planned model of paying players" and they almost had to spend a chunk of space on a DLman after Dbrown injury season gave them a nightmare out-come of worst D in NFL scoring. Once Milton got above Dbrown payments, they went with the plan B. A player whom the "co-GM" put his name with. Brad said turk would not be a problem off-field and leader, which the Panthers need badly. I dug in with the google-fu, I found out  I also found him playing lots of NT, which was shocking given the small frame. He seems ready for a bigger role and had a great SB too. IDK, I feel Dan Morgan was dead set on not going into this season without more DL depth and its there. The real deal is this, nearly all FA take one year to "adjust". I think turk is trying too hard and causing injuries as a result for his contract. Dbrown called turk "strong as hell" and I know for a fact Dbrowns has insane core and strength numbers. They lift together with the 50 LB difference...... you always lift with a guy who's similar in strength cause you can leave on the 8 wheels, let the other guy lift while you rest and go after him.  I do wish he had a better beginning to his panther career, 3 games for him to do so and it would cover up the low points if he made a few plays.... Again it felt like they almost had to make move/spend $$$ and Morgan was going to have DL depth this season no matter what...My best guess.
