Last week of incidents affected on our draft

I think that Shaq Thompson is a good football player and he'll make our defense even better, more versatile and unpredictable. But the Panthers were unlucky because without the Collins situation, Shane Ray arrest (he would've gone in the top 10) and weird Gregory slide, we could've had Humphries and possibly our LT for a long time.

 

Gettleman made the best out of a weird situation and didn't comprise his principles and picked the best player who fits us. We're unlucky, but as a football team we got better. 

 

P.S. There's still hope that if Collins goes undrafted and is cleared, we can pick him up as undrafted free agent. He can start here at LT and play with one of his best friends.

The Collins situation very well could've prevented Humphries from getting to us, but no way to know for sure.  I'm not mad though, I was never big on Humphries to begin with.

 

neither was I, but obviously Gettleman saw something we didnt. I think Humphries may have been the pick if he hadnt been picked right before our pick.

I think the Broncos trading up is the reason we have Shaq and not DJ today.

 

I think Ray would have likely gone to AZ at 24 instead of DJ.  I am happy with the way it worked out, as I for one think Oher is going to be better than people think, and would rather have a guy that will make an impact this season with a higher ceiling than an under preforming OT.

Agree. I put this in another thread, call me crazy but the Saints picking outside their needs for Peat also diminished our chances for a first round OT.

 

I was surprised by their two picks. They needed offensive line help, but their defense needed more than a LB.

Didn't even think about this too. Man we got screwed 3 times over this one. With La'el on the board, Saints don't go OT, or Broncos not jumping up. I think if any one of those happen we have a OT.

In 2004 I was so high on Larry Fitzgerald. I wanted us to draft him so badly. Arizona picked him 2 spots before us & I was devastated. Devastated! We took Chris Gamble that year. Turned out to be a very good pick for us & he became one of my favorite Panthers to watch.

 

I learned my lesson. I will never again anticipate anything during the draft. It's a game I don't like playing any more. Our draft picks are now members of our Panther family & I'll support them just for that reason.

      Dan Morgan on the Rich Eisen show

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
