Here's my simple argument against D. Henry

If big RB's are so great- why haven't there been more? 

Are you willing to bet that Henry is the exception instead of the rule? 

I'm not- not in the first round.

Here's a simple fact.  If you spend a first round pick on anybody not named Adrian Peterson, Todd Gurley, Leonard Fournette, or Samaje Perine at the RB position.  You probably need to rethink your skills as a GM.

This quote will be my new signature if DH is the pick.

Don't worry, when he starts sucking ass.  You'll be sure to take that poo out of your sig in a heartbeat.  

Name an RB that turned out to be worth a first round pick that was 6'3+ and 230+.  Don't worry, I'll wait.

so yes I agree but he IS the exception, thank you for proving my point - we see hundreds of RBs in the league every year (including backups and practice squad) and PLENTY of talented large men------so why aren't there more huge RB's 

I'm not saying Henry won't succeed but that certainly IS NOT the rule- he would be an exception

Do you realize that telling us you know better than Gettleman is absolutely hilarious?

Hard to be upset about any of these picks. Hunter Henry would be my favorite because I think he has the rarest talent in the whole draft; a TE with his skill set only comes along once in a while. I haven't looked at Butler much because I assume he will go before 30, but he'd be a no brainer at 30 (thanks for the film). Ogbah will most likely be the best DE available at 30 and is definitely worth a 1st round pick. Derrick Henry scares me a bit because he has potential to be a miss. He has a high center of gravity and has been used a lot at Bama. I worry about his legs taking too much punishment, but if G-man likes him at 30 who the hell am I to argue?

So, that's my preference order if all 4 are on the board at 30: H. Henry, Butler, Ogbah, D. Henry.

When it comes to RB's is picking one in the first round that isn't a guarantee a horrible thing to do?  

Isn't this common sense in today's NFL?  I mean, I don't know more than Gettlemen when it comes to football.  But common sense should be common, right?

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
