Compensatory Picks Announced

Damn that Dave Gettleman for letting JNo not eat up our cap in 2016!!  #LongGame

FWIW, I did want JNo back on the FT for 1 more year.... but still....the longterm gain vs. the short term (if we use that late 3rd rounder properly) is why DG is still one of the best GMs in the game.

If we sign Berry to boot he gets the genius mantle back-Berry>JNo

I too wanted Josh on the tag for one year, then bu-bye. Plus you know the cap roll over is 13 million? Thats the same as the CB tag form last yr..... Finding bradberry was the TKO for me, Josh is not 15x worth/better than bradberry.

Stop making the 4th rounder feel bad. 98 is awesome but 115 sucks?

Say it again 5 in 115. At least the draft won't be boring. With no trade ups we pick once every 23 picks through our fourth. Last year we waited 30 picks just to get our first one.

I've seen a few reports that you're be able to find starting level talent til the late 5th round(DB pool mainly). Unlike last year where 5th rounder where practice squad level talent.

 

O and I oddly prefer 5 out of 115 than 4 out of 98.....

So this is beautiful: the Osweiler pick didn't fall a few spots from what was expected, it didn't count at all (the Denver 3rd is from Malik Jackson).

Denver got cute with that Okung contract, thinking it would only count for the cheap, guaranteed year if they let him go this year (which they did) prior to the big option years kicking in.

However, the NFL saw through this and averaged all the Okung years in its calculation. So instead of Okung canceling out the 7th round pick they'd get for Vernon Davis, it cancelled out the 3rd for Osweiler.

TLDR: The Broncos' "cleverly" constructed Okung deal effectively cost them the 97th pick in exchange for pick 255. All for a guy they just released.

Oh wow, nice catch.

Although the owner of maybe the most unique jargon in the sport, Carolina Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman isn’t the type to say he told you so. But if there was ever a time to do exactly that, it’s probably now.

10 months and four days after Gettleman rescinded his franchise tag offer to cornerback Josh Norman in what looked to be the beginning of a complete disaster, the Panthers have been reimbursed with one heck of a prize. The announcement of that reparation came on Friday afternoon when Carolina was officially given the 2017 NFL draft’s 98th overall selection, the second-highest compensatory pick handed out this offseason.

This haul, also partly (and minimally) due to the departure of punter Brad Nortman, will now stand as their second third-round pick and eighth overall for the end of April. It’ll also prove to be one of the handful of reasons why allowing Norman to pick up for nation’s capital was, indeed, the right move by the Panthers.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
