Panthers press conference after Bradberry & Worley picks

After watching that it sounds like after Ogbah, Henry (x2), Cravens, and Sterling all got picked James Bradberry was the guy we were targeting. Very interesting. Teams have been know to keep tight lids on guys they really wanted - Jax taking Bortles is a recent example

I think we called teams to try and move up- and those teams asked for future 1sts- which is too rich for G-man.

Knowing that we were sitting at the end of round 2 - I think Bradberry was our target all along.

Idunno @ certain times in the presser I just get the impression that he's content with who we got but he's trying to convince himself he's excited. I trust G-Man, he got us this far and he also chose Bene late. Im more excited to hear about our UDFA's personally. 

Hell give me  Garret, Cash,  Allison, Hilebrew, or Kearse the 5th ...and I'll be somewhat pretty good.

Honestly it looks to me like Gettleman isn't at all happy with how the draft shook down....nothing he can do about it honestly but I feel like he was legit with round 1 and after that poo went downhill fast...doesn't mean these guys wont' work out...I mean double dipping has worked for us before but Gmans body language is different this time...tell me it isn't...

I think its more about him just being tired of having to validate his plan or decisions to the media. They always bust his balls because of the BPA approach in the first, but that's exactly what should be done in the first. Notice that Dave doesn't buy into who the media or so called analyst say he should pick and he has been dead right all but one time so far. I have come to the conclusion that the "experts" have no idea what we need, but Dave does.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
