INTERESTING NOTE:Gettleman has 1st rounders in for a pre draft visit. (self.panthers)

submitted 12 hours ago by BananaGooP

In every year that Dave Gettleman has been the GM he has had the player he picks in the first round in for a pre-draft visit. In 2015 he had Shaq Thompson and D.J. Humphries in.(Humphries would have been the pick if Arizona had not picked him first) In 2014 he had Kelvin Benjamin, Kony Ealy and Corey(Philly) Brown in for pre draft visits. In 2013 he had Kawann Short in, and 2 unnamed players. I would wager a good amount of money that one of those 2 unnamed was Star.

Because of this it is likely that their 2016 pick has already been in for a visit. We can eliminate all players who have not met with Carolina for a workout of private meeting because everything else is not "official." Next we can eliminate players who are clearly not first rounders. There is a handful of prospects who are likely second round picks on this list, but they are not clearly out of the first round and therefore should be included. The STMs are likely private meetings or workouts. I also believe Shepard has been in for a visit. Now here is the list:

  • Vonn Bell, S, Ohio State (STM)
  • Tyler Boyd, WR, Pittsburgh (COM, WOR)
  • Vernon Butler, DT/NT, Louisiana Tech (SR, WOR, PRI)
  • Corey Coleman, WR, Baylor (STM)
  • Su'a Cravens, OLB, USC (STM)
  • Kevin Dodd, DE, Clemson (PRI)
  • Derrick Henry, RB, Alabama (STM, PRI)
  • Germain Ifedi, OT, Texas A&M (COM, PRI, WOR)
  • Jayron Kearse, S, Clemson (STM)
  • Shaq Lawson, DE/3-4OLB, Clemson (PRI, WOR)
  • Emmanuel Ogbah, DE/3-4DE, Oklahoma State (WOR)
  • Jarran Reed, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (WOR, PRI)
  • A'Shawn Robinson, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (PRI)
  • Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)
  • Darian Thompson, S, Boise State (PRI, WOR)

From this list my bet would be IF Lawson, Ogbah, Robinson or Coleman fall they will be picked up and outside of that I would say it is likely Su'a Cravens, Vonn Bell, or Germain Ifedi.

  • A'Shawn Robinson, DT/3-4DE/NT, Alabama (PRI)
  • Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)
  • Darian Thompson, S, Boise State (PRI, WOR)

Looking at this list, Boyd, Kearse, Bell and Thompson are not 1st round talents. And Robinson will certainly be gone the time we pick.

Unless you know what players are 1st round grade by Gettleman this list is partially incomplete

  • Sterling Shepard, WR, Oklahoma (COM)

Now, 1 and probably 2 of those DE will be gone at 30. Let's assume it's Lawson. 

We're left with these options.

Of that list, I'd take Coleman or Shepard and not think twice about it.  Outside of WR, I'd think hard about Butler.  I think we'll draft our safety in the second round.

ifedi is a second rounder in my opinion, and Gman not likely to take Olineman in the first

DE's, in my mind are the most likely target, second round might see us moving up for a DT is a first round grade guy falls far enough

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
