1st Vernon Butler DT

2nd Jeremy Cash SS

3rd Zach Sanchez CB

4th Keyarris Garrett WR

5th Daryl Worley CB

7th Jake McGee TE

 

UFAs: James Bradberry CB, Beau Sandland TE, Jared Norris LB

 

Does that make you feel better? Knowing that the media would see this as a better graded draft but knowing we got all of these players anyway, regardless of round or order? If you say yes, kindly take a big step back and fug your own face because you are a moron.

The problem isn't who we got, but how and when we got them.

I think we could have still got Bradberry and Worley in the third and fourth round and used the second on an OL.

Someone here the other day said they don't doubt Gettleman's ability to find good players, but he lacks the ability to know how other teams rate these guys and takes them too early.

I tend to agree with that thought

Gettleman said today that he ranks players based off how they fit with the team in terms of scheme and measureables.

And as pointed out in that other thread,  it only takes one other team to feel the same about a player and grab them and you can't know if that is the case. He said Bradberry and Worley,  we're the 5th and 6th graded CB"s on their board. Gettleman has demonstrated that he can evaluate players,  so assuming he is right about these two,  they are going to be good. It's reasonable to assume that at least one other GM thought that also, meaning they MAY not have been there if he waited.

One team....... it takes ONE team to scoop up your player. Your supposed "skill" that he lacks is bullsh*t. There is NO WAY to tell how a team is feeling about a player at that exact moment and when a team will change their mind. I just find it so amusing hearing armchair GM's trying to school the Executive of the year on what he lacks.

I get it, and that's all well and good

But wasn't it one of those two top corner picks that we were the only team that brought them in for a visit?

Seems like as good an indication as any that he would have lasted either to the third round (of it was Bradberry) or we wouldn't have needed to give up our 4th to trade up in the third to get our guy?

Gettleman may have got his guys, but it seems like we could of had them plus other solid players at the same time

In 4 drafts Gettleman has rebuilt the interior of the defensive line to one of the best in the NFL, rebuilt the receiving corp with 2 good young receivers in KB and Funchess, drafted a DE in Ealy who could break out into a Pro Bowl year if he plays like he did down the stretch last year, drafted/signed 2 stud guards in Turner and Norwell, and has now hopefully rebuilt a secondary for the long haul instead of piecemealing one every year. What more can you hope for? Other than having a better option if Oher goes down (but Darryl Williams could potentially play either Tackle spot), there's not much more you can ask for IMO.

Furthermore, Gettleman has turned the worst cap situation in the league into one of the best. We have won 3 division titles in a row and went 15-1 and to the SB.

Other teams are competing too. And while none of this happens without Rivera and Newton, Gettleman deserves a lot of credit too.

Gettleman is fundamentally flawed when it comes to the draft because he's not a mindreader. Let's fire him and bring in Lestat de Lioncourt.

Both Cash and Garrett would have been major reaches.

But imagine if we had all our 7 draft picks, rounds 1-7.

We didn't have a 4th and 6th rounder.

So just insert Cash as our 4th rounder and Garrett as our 6th rounder.  Most would probably give us an "A" grade yes?

      Jamaree Salyer would be an excellent signing. I hope we are looking at him.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By djp14 · Posted

      The Panthers are Pickett's 5th team in 5 years. Howell's next team will be his 5th. I don't think the league thinks that much of either of them. They're just warm bodies, at this point.

      NFL Free Agency

      10 players I wouldn't mind the Panthers signing that are still available:  - CB Nate Hobbs (Packers): Was just released this morning. Could be a very solid nickel upgrade for us.  - CB Kader Kohou (Dolphins): Solid slot corner who shouldn't break the bank and could be an upgrade over Chau Smith-Wade.  - OT Jamaree Salyer (Chargers): Had an underrated year with the Chargers (68.2 PFF pass block grade, 61.5 run block grade) and is still young enough (25) to continue developing.  - OT Jawaan Taylor (Chiefs): Depending on price, could be a good short-term option at LT while we figure things out long-term.  - WR Jauan Jennings (49ers): If we're going to add a FA receiver, I think Jennings makes a lot of sense but the price may be a bit too high for a slot receiver.  - WR John Metchie III (Jets): A cheaper option at slot receiver who has experience playing with Bryce at Alabama. Low risk/high reward type signing.  - WR Calvin Austin III (Steelers): Likely an "in between" option relative to Jennings and Metchie, but another solid option in the slot.  - LB Leo Chenal (Chiefs): I think we'll target another starting ILB in the draft, but we could also opt to pair Chenal with Devin Lloyd and check that need off the list early.  - OC Matt Hennessy (49ers): Could be a decent stop-gap starter at center and solid depth if nothing else.  - OC Andre James (Chargers): Was a backup last year for the Chargers (for some reason; he couldn't have been worse than what they had starting) but was solid for the Raiders the year before.
