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.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
