Round 5, Pick 33, 169th Overall The Carolina Panthers Select LB David Mayo, Texas State

[Proudiddy]

No it doesn't. .

We'll see... We have been historically attached to "hard workers" and "good guys" over production and potential.

[MrPickles]

Complaining about late round picks seems like an exercise in futility. 

[KSpan]

It's clearly because Carolina is going to a 3-4.

[KSpan]

With Michael Bennett on the board, Cole and Dwan Edwards both in their mid 30's, you'd think a DT would be a solid depth selection after already selecting a LB. I really hope Dave knows what he's doing here but Mayo would have been available after the draft.

Wonder if they feel pretty good about Kyle Love.

FUN FACT: lol.   This guy is from Scappoose,OR  Same town as QB Derek Anderson  

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

Gettleman just said he would target 6-10 UDFAs.

Funny, I didn't know that. He looks like someone from Scappoose though. 

[Mr. Scot]

Sounds about right.

 

Wouldn't expect much out of that, though.  The final roster is now harder to make than it used to be.

 

[RevJ]

Not sure I get the hate.

 

Great LB name.

 

Led TSU in tackles against teams no one has heard of.

 

Runner up for prom queen.

 

Toothpaste model.

 

Championship!

[PantherFanOne]

When you get near the last rounds of the draft,there's not much talent value left.

[MrBubba]

Watch it if you speak against the Gettleman you will branded a heretic.

NICE

Special Teams Ace

Do people not remember how terrible our ST unit was last year?

Def- 10th

Off- 16th

ST- 32nd

Dave made a ton of moves in the off-season top fix the ST unit. New coach, brought back Ginn, & signed a stable of ST specialists.

Continued collecting Special Team assets in the draft. Dave took advantage of having 9 picks and traded up twice to give Cam help, grabbing a WR & OT that can contribute day 1. The other 3 picks are all guys that will improve the ST unit, even Shaq.

Dave has nailed 3 drafts in a row. Anyone bitching about Dave (mostly homer 89/34 fanboys) is a moron. He knows WTF he's doing.

nobody knows what they are doing. Like Gettleman said, its a pot shot.

[MadHatter]

All white linebackers =/= luke

But the number of tackles the guy makes certainly does.

Why bring race into this at all? Geesh
