Panthers announce changes to scouting department

This seems like the equivalent of getting veteran free agent players who take a big discount because they want to come here and play with us.  (Though maybe I shouldn't mention that in the same week that we just cut Brandon Boykin!).  A former Assistant GM and a former Director of College Scouting/Director of Player Personnel now both accepting lower(?) positions as regional scouts?!

Am I understanding the seniority of these positions correctly?

More #Gettlemagic?!

If I read that right, we now have an Assistant Director of College Scouting but no Director.

Wonder if another hire is coming.

I'm sure they are perusing the Huddle feverishly to decide on the next Director. We have several resident know-it-alls that could slide in to place immediately.

At the moment my people and their people are "very" far apart on a compensation package. But we both are going in the right direction and I feel like a deal could get done soon.

I found some old videos of these guys speaking at the combine, Stokes as the player personnel guy for the Bucs in 2014, and Patten as the personnel guy for the 49ers in 2012. both spoke a bit about their philosophy, and I can at least get a sense of how they fit. both spoke of using the combine to get to know players beyond their tape. Patten repeatedly mentioned "value" in terms of draft picks so he'll fit in with Gettleman on that front. interesting that Stokes was let go from Miami. wonder how that was shaking out. it was a big promotion for him, and now he's a regional scout again. and now I'm thinking I've put enough energy into relatively minor football news for the day.

You could take one more ounce of energy and link what you found.

    • Me, signing up for FanDuel Network, and then canceling FanDuel Network:
    • Smith-Wade for me. He has the path to some decent hefty snaps in Evero’s scheme. He held his own last year and improved as he continued to get snaps— If he makes some strides, could be a very capable nickel.  I agree with Sanders. Bryce had some trust in him that final Falcons game post crazy head-stand.  Bryce looked for him a lot that final game and made some critical catches to get us the W. Seems he’s put in major work so I’m hopeful about him.  Wallace will have an offseason under his belt. I like him a lot, was higher graded than most remember in his draft (I.e Brugler had him LB3/70 overall) but he isn’t as cerebral of an LB as we’re used to. I think he could thrive if we get D captain/film-junky type next to him— because right now that’s Jewell.  Still a bit cautious but love the talent. Rozeboom may snag some playing time from him if he’s still working out the kinks.
    • Didnt Canales already say starters are playing in the pre season? either way extra reps dont hurt but im not one of those people that think playing in the pre season would have saved Bryce from an awful start.
