It is draft week people... look alive...

This is the Huddle's 13th draft week.

As is tradition on the Huddle, a mod or myself will be making a topic for each draft pick Thursday - Saturday. This keeps people from trying to make the first topic and preventing 20 from getting created as a result. 

We will be cracking down on personal attacks and other general dumbassery. 

 

Things you can look forward to from your fellow Huddlers.... 

 

  • Irrational knee jerk reactions to unpopular picks. Here is a fun link for reference...

 

  • Gettleman hatred for not picking (insert your fave local prospect name here) in the (round number here). 
  • 20 threads started for each draft pick, most of which pretty much say the same thing. 

 

What you can do to help make this joint a better place to be....

  • Use the official thread for general individual draft selection discussion. 
  • Keep topic refreshing at a reasonable rate. Refreshing every 10 seconds is really hard on the server. Maybe try every 30 seconds.

Looking forward to Dex's full fanboy mode video after the first round.

The Star pick is one of my favorite picks of all time and we all probably felt exactly like Dex did in the video. The 2016 equivalent would be a guy like Treadwell falling.

That draft day and prospect thread needs to be posted too. It was insane.

Oakland was sitting in the top three in prime position for Star and traded down to 12, right before us and the Jets. With Star's medical issues I figured they knew he would fall right before the DT-needy teams came up. They took DJ Hayden instead.

The Panthers website interviewed Eric Washington and he couldn't stop smiling. He said he'd never seen such a strong concensus on who to take.

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
