Gettleman: we only had one guy rated higher when we picked Bradberry, a defensive tackle

On WFNZ this morning Gettleman said we only had one guy rated marginally higher we we picked Bradberry and this higher rated player was at a stacked position.

 

IGO Edit: Huddle confirms the player was indeed a DT per NFL Source.

They likely had a DT ranked higher (two DTs taken just after Panthers picked) but since they just drafted one in round 1 they passed. 

 

Imagine the Huddle if they drafted DTs in round 1 and 2. lol

 

 

EDIT: My sources now confirm this. It was a DT.

Jonathon Bullard is a smart guess here imo. I'm good with Bradberry though

Yeah it's pretty clearly a DT if you look at the guys between our picks. Nowhere else we'd be considered "stacked."

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
