He hits like a freight train tho.

Oh, I get it. We brought in David Mayo to give Bersin

competition for Best Hair.

 

lol

[Fidel Cashflow]

i would have loved Bennett over Mayo. I guess it's obvious that everyone but Gettleman would tho

 

Something is up with Bennett. He still hasn't been picked.

I'm scratching my head on this one. Been on board with every pick but this one I just don't get at all.

Dave Gettleman might have a little linebacker OCD

[Chief Keek]

A lot of whining going on in this thread.

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.

I was hoping for Deron Smith. I suppose I can't hate on someone I've never heard of.

I think it's more confusion then whining. If you care to explain it I'm all ears.

I hope so but man this looks straight up like another Kugbila pick.  WAY over-reaching for a small school player that would have been available as an UDFA.  Still a ton of good DT's on the board and depth is an issue there.

I get 154 tackles in 12 games.

I think maybe Dave was eating a sammich, unaware we were on the clock so suddenly, and said "Hey guys, I think I need some mayo."

 

A try-hard assistant nearby thought Dave was looking at the draft board-- and took that as "That's who Mr Gettleman wants--the only guy named Mayo in the draft. Write it down and send it over!"

 

And that my friends, is the story of David Mayo becoming a Panther.

 

 

[Krucid]

More than likely this guy is ST and depth. Solid pick in the 5th.

[LukeBeastly]

Just take random O-Lineman... not LBers...

 

He's getting bad grades as well:
