One could really look deeper into his words, and see he may try and make a move to get the 1st overall.

Likely? Not very. But you never know with Gettleman.

Man if DG traded up for the No.1 and snagged Garrett I would run naked thru downtown Charlotte!!!!

would love to get OJ Howard but not at #8. either hope he falls to the 2nd round, we trade back into the first, or trade down.


Agree. Trading into the mid/late 20s seems like a real possibility considering our propensity to trade up under DG... and that 5th year option he loves.

If he falls to the 2nd... it will be a shocker and I would bet he would go (in a trade) first on day 2.

Someone drops every year... Doubt it is him.

Why?

He may not be better than Barnett, in the long run, and we would have to sell the effing farm to move to 1.

He and Barnett just reminds me of peppers/Freeny and makes me think of the saying "hard work beats talent when talent does not work hard"

If we stay at 8 the pick will be a safety, DE, RB, or a CB. That is where the value is at the top. Howard is an option in a trade down or a trade up from the 2nd round.


Don't turn off the TV after pick 8

Peppers has  21 more sacks and literally almost double the number of tackles (664 vs  338) as Freeney in his career.

Tight Ends that test well at the combine and are polished go high. Heck, an unpolished TE that tested well in the combine (Ebron) went in the top ten and Howard is a much better prospect. Like I said....my money would be on him being gone by 15. He's an athletic pass catching TE that is also a fairly well rounded blocker before he even steps foot on an NFL field. That will be coveted.

      Chuba Hubbard is expected to miss Week 5

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I think Chuba is better in pass pro. I think Chuba does a better job setting up blockers, while Dowdle tends to just want to juke or outrun defenders. He has more big play potential, but probably won't get you the consistent numbers. He'll get you in more 3rd and long situations. Now I'm actually excited to see Etienne get more burn. That kid has big play ability written all over him. And he is NOT a punt returner.

      Luke Kuechly HC (Not Joking Faks)

      By strato · Posted

      Maybe had you put it that way instead of dismissing the guy as a ‘radio’ I wouldn’t have pushed back. I get that. At the same time, he knows the team, he is brilliant at film diagnosis, highly disciplined and would have the instant respect of any and all players in that locker room. Coaches too probably. It is hard to overstate how good he was and that includes the mental side.  I wouldn’t bet against him. Give him a couple of seasons to get the job down.  I shouldn’t say every, but I bet it is every… OC or DC that got a HC gig has said they weren’t ready for everything that goes with being a HC. Totally different than the job they had been doing, because now they have to deal with everything and they didn’t even know what that was when they started.  edit: I guess a point I am trying to make with him is, you can work your way up through jobs but when you get promoted the job is not just a higher level of the job you were doing, it is a different job requiring new skills.  The failed HC ranks are full of great coordinators for that very reason.  I resist the dogma of you can’t be good at that unless you were good at LB coach or DC.  To me, Wilks wasn’t a real good DC but he somehow understood that HC job intuitively.
