Quotes to Note: Draft Wrap Up

 

A couple of the more pertinent excerpts...

 

RE: If this draft class helps them matchup better with the best teams in the NFC

 

RR: “It goes back to why do you target a Shaq Thompson? Well, because you have a guy that can play the linebacking position and at the same time be a matchup for the tight end. It gives you flexibility because now a team, if they’re going to sit there and move the tight ends from one side to the other, now you have guys who can go out and cover those guys. And his speed. He can run. You’ve got three linebackers that can run. When you put those three linebackers on the field at the same time, you create a different animal. If you want to go more physical, you can put another combination of linebackers on the field. So there are some matchup things we can do because of the bodies we have now in our linebacking corps.

 

“In the receiving corps, now you sit back and say OK, you’ve got Kelvin [benjamin] on one side, you’ve got Devin [Funchess] on the other side. Now you’ve got Corey Brown. You’ve got different combinations of receivers. You create that type of difficulty because now people have to match up with your three different types of wide receivers. Then you’ve got tight ends. How are you going to match up with all those different types of guys? So some of those things we did with that in mind.”

 

 

RE: On taking two linebackers in the draft this year

 

DG: “One of the things we talked about in that post-season presser was speed. We talked about that, and we’re addressing it … There was a coaching phrase I saw a million years ago when I was a high school coach that said, ‘speed makes geniuses of us all.’ Both of these kids, obviously Shaq [Thompson] and David, and David can run. It’s all part of it.”

Know what will be funny? When it's time for the 2016 draft and the same people keep posting "We should trade down. It's Gettleman's philosophy to trade down, he's wise like me, we should trade down."

Sound wisdom from Rivera.

I'd like to think both of those players could have been had further down the board however.

 

Further down, probably. How much further down, though? At 57? At 82? Our second rounder was practically a third rounder already. If you want someone, you can't count on them falling to the end of the round.

Yesh but we'll already be picking at spot 32.

A reporter from Dallas said Thompson would have been a Cowboy at 27 if we hadn't taken him.

 

(the tweet itself is in one of the draft threads if you wanna look for it)

on their board, the guys selected had better value than the pick, or picks used to select them.

At what point do you ignore that to support your arguement?

And I think they could have been had further down the board saving picks.

You have a comprehension issue?

Why does what you think matter? Not to be a dick, but Gettleman does this for a living. If he feels they would have been gone or that they were worth the slot they were selected, who are we to judge until they touch the field? Wait until these guys line up before passing judgement on the draft process.

Well you are being a dick.

I expressed an opinion.

My bad, "here on Teh Huddle do not express an opinion". got it.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      First of all the out was not caught because XL slipped and was the only person who could have caught that ball.  I'm not sure where you get that it was almost intercepted but go ahead and believe your story. The kick was in the direction we wanted the ball from the opening kickoff.  Do you think Fitzpatrick didn't try several kicks in that direction before the game and after half?  Do you think we just winged it.  Come on, OK so he missed one earlier.  Kickers can't adjust.  You make it sound like it was a wing and a pray. I saw the game.  Yes and we still got 21 yard from the running game.  We also got two first downs via that pass.  So it isn't like it was 100% we were going to run.   You have your blinders on and hate BY so much that you can't give him any credit because it defeats your narrative that he completely sucks.   What I have yet to here is you 100% for sure solution.  Which QB are you going to bring in that GUARANTEES that he'll be better than BY.  See the difference between you and me is I understand that he isn't the greatest QB to play the game.   But he has strengths and he continues to win whether you like it or not.  You and I have been on this forum for many years and agreed and disagreed on many topics.  I don't think I have ever seen you so filled with so much hatred for a player than BY.   I'm just going to leave it here to agree to disagree because you aren't going to change my outlook and I definitely am not going to change yours.  I do appreciate no personal attacks.  Someone said it earlier.  Ride with our game manager until a Mahomes falls into our laps.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      The key difference being expectation. Jake was basically an afterthought of a free agent signing. Bryce is a guy we mortgaged the franchise on to be THE GUY. Not to mention a different era of football before all the rule changes to benefit the passing game. I don't care how we win either. I just realize that the odds of continuing to win in today's NFL with this level of QB play are very low. If I knew for sure that the Panthers had already decided to pursue other options at QB this off-season I could breathe a sigh of relief but of course they're not going to say that publicly.
