That's a lot of points for Luke and Josh. Give it a year and we'll see how Gettleman is really ranked.

A lot of credit needs to go to our scout team.  Which Gettleman didn't replace when he arrived.

Absolutely. Though Gettleman is the guy pulling the trigger.

I have a feeling we'll get a potential pro bowler this year. Hopefully Bradberry will continue his development and be there too.

I wouldn't say it's him going for a need, as much as he sees a player slipping that they have a high value for. 

The player who is slipping happens to be a player of need: 

2016: Needed CB and traded up for Worley

2015: Needed OT & WR: traded up for Funchess and Williams

2014: Needed CB: Traded up for Bene

2013: Didn't have many picks to trade

Such a flawed formula they used. 

5 points for a pro bowler

3 points for player being a  2016 stater. ( we got points for Tre Boston then lol)

1 point for being a rostered player. 

Tolbert got 5 points.

Gettleman is in the best position he has ever been in to improve the roster.

The link is to a very worthwhile article about draft capital that i read from a link on catcrave;

Panthers are rated 6th overall:

If you're only interested in the Carolina write up:

6. Carolina Panthers

Salary Cap Space: $53,548,149 (10th)

Draft Pick Capital: Nine picks valued at 2,346.4 points (Eighth)

The Panthers saved a bunch of money against their cap last season by rescinding the franchise tag on cornerback Josh Norman, but the defense, which had to rely on young, inexperienced corners, took a big step back. This offseason, it’s looking like GM Dave Gettleman won’t be quite so tight with his purse strings, as he’s already re-signed pass rusher Mario Addison to a three-year, $22.5 million deal and placed the franchise tag ($14.7 million) on defensive tackle Kawann Short. Carolina’s sitting pretty in the draft, too, with nine total picks, including five in the first 115 spots.

We didn't draft Tolbert. So he gets nothing.

That's kinda suprising. Gettleman seems to always find at least one blue chip starter in every draft he's done for us so far. He hasn't blown any single draft out of the water with a combo of picks all working out, he generally hits on either his first or second rounder (sometimes both). He never makes the sexy pick (with the exception of maybe Kelvin Benjamin) but he seems to always get 2-3 quality players every draft.

He's yet to have a draft with 3 or more high caliber players but getting into rounds 3-7 turns into a crapshoot usually so can't be too hard on  him for that.

 

A rank players he's drafted so far  :

2013 : Star and Short (both of the validate this entire draft two starter DTs in one year is unheard of )

2014 : KB , Trai Turner (well maybe KB is more of a B at this point). (Just good solid hits for what our team needed)

2015: Shaq 

* Quality depth with Daryll Williams and David Mayo)

2016 : Bradberry 

* Quality depth or solid Starter with Worely (Unclear atm)

* ?? with Vernon Butler . Need a bigger sample size + more playing time

2017 Possibly : Fournette + Legett or D. Barnett + D. Walker (kinda like double dip star and short in 2013)

That's a product of how their board is setup.

Gettleman has told us in the past, that he doesn't set his board up like the analysts do. 

Player A, and player B, has a mid 1st round grades. 

Player A is a QB. We have no need for a qb, so he removes player A from his board. 

If both players are still there in the 2nd, why would he trade up for a player that he doesn't desire? 

So in a way, yes it's a position of need/want/desire, but according to their board, its still BPA.

A lot of people going out of their way to discredit Dave. Personally I can't wait to see what he does with 4 picks in the first three rounds. Gonna be a lot of haters in here

I doubt it. It's going to take a great pick this year as well as other players developing.

Gman has a history of finding 2 quality starters, one very good backup, and 2 depth form UDFA. Each year he's done this, over and over.

Agreed, now let's see what he does with cash in the bank and early picks! Here's the entire draft history:
