DGB was never in play for the Panthers

The Carolina Panthers never had DGB as a targeted player on their board. Funchess on the other hand was rated a first rounder and highly coveted. So all of the DGB fans can put your mind at ease, he was never coming to the Panthers to begin with. Also, obviously all of the first round rated players the Panthers had are now off the board. (Preston Smith cam close to being a Panther). Predicting rounds 4-7 are a crap shoot.

We all love DGB. However he was never in play thanks to Greg Hardy.

If Gman wanted him, he would have traded higher to get him.

Shaq and Funchise had 1st round grades early on. Many had Shaq in the top10. We got two very good players. Fans can quit crying about it.

 

Thanks to Ray Rice you mean.  After that, even if you're innocent you're guilty in the NFL.  An accusation is enough.  (Not that I necessarily think DGB was innocent, I didn't follow or research his incident enough to have an opinion.)

Too bad about Preston Smith - I really liked him. He would have fit us really well. Plus it would have been fun to see everyone melt down if our first two picks were defense.

But I can definitely believe that the Panthers had D. Smith, P. Smith, L. Collins, and Funchess in a class with late round 1 grades.

You've been spot on with the info this draft season. Thanks.

Voth said as much yesterday. I mean, all of the sensible people (i.e., not the people who think we're taking La'El Collins today) knew that he was never really going to have a chance here, nor was Marcus Peters, etc.

I thought people knew this already. . You don't let a top 10 elite pass rusher walk. . Then draft a rookie with the same issues. . It's not a good look in the media and JR loves how the media see him and his team..

Thanks to his inside trading!

 

Also i have been raving about Preston Smith and Josh Robinson long before anybody did!

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
