IMHO!!

IMHO if Fournette is there he's a Panther. The rest of the league reportedly doesn't want that so I doubt he gets past 7 teams. 

RB is one of the only positions a rookie can come in and have an immediate impact. I hope they value the opportunity to get a very good to elite runningback in the first this year. OJ Howard wouldn't hurt either and then try to get McCaffrey but we've gotta get a stud RB though IMHO.

 Stew is top notch and has blessed our franchise with quiet greatness all these years and we'll look back at his career here in wonderment one day but it's time to find his successor and they can't be a slouch.

#34 and #28 were some of our best 1st rounders ever. Panthers know the value of an elite runningback. If DeAngelo and Stew were regular guys they'd be out of the NFL by now.

He took Shaq and Butler last 2 years and they weren't going to get big playing time..

True but this time he has a top 10 pick. You were in position to add to a position of strength and plan for the near future but with 8, I assume immediate starter

If Fournette is there i think they pull the tigger.. Cook and McCaffery are not their type of Backs.. So i think they would pass and go another position or trade down...

Fournette and the Safeties will not be there at 8.. Gettleman trades down to a needy team into the teens gets back a 2nd or 3rd rounder.  selects a Skill weapon in the 1st for Cam and then goes Defense with the multiple 2nd and 3rd round picks.

He also like value and he isn't going to reach to get a day one starter..

I can see a Howard or Barnett maybe Ross as well  at 8 if the big 4 isn't there (Fournette, Adams, Hooker or Thomas).. But neither one of them would be day one staters either..

This is what i see happening..

Some of you might want to get use to him not valuing RB's like you do...

Gman might be in the '"really not liking to spend a 1st round pick on a devalued position like RB" club.. He is all about value and he has that NY Giants philosphy .. They never draft 1st round RB's..

Tell me again  who was in the playoffs this year

I"ll give you who was in the superbowl..

Neither team had a 1st round RB..

 

[raleigh-panther]

The Panthers, so they say, are a running team

if Fournette is there, and they don't take him based in a NY Giants belief of value, then Gettleman should be shown the door 

Simple and plain. 

You don't pass on the next probable great running back over a philosophy and draft picks like Artis-Payne and Barner

Gettleman

You don't trade picks to get less picks in a draft you think is deep..

Fournette, Adams, Hooker would play under my criteria of 75 percent of snaps.

We stay at 8 and either move back up into the end of the 1st or trade with Cleveland for the first pick in the 2nd round.

Are you not reading what is typed..

If Fournette is there he is the pick.. I think he is the only RB they would draft in the 1st round..

I don't think he will be there and they won't trade up to get him..
