DG going to get cute in the draft?

I think it is more likely that we use a 4th or 5th to move up in the second with one of the 2 picks we have there.

If a great player that we have graded as a first rounder drops out of the round and is sitting there at pick 50 or so, then we might move from the bottom of round 2 up to 50 to get him

I find this more tangible than using both 2nds to get back into the first, at least at the moment

I don't like how Gettleman has made a new normal of trading up to grab a player. The cost is to high, especially in such a deep draft class as this one. We traded up for Williams, Benwikere and Funchess, and so far these trades has not been very successful. We also traded for Worley who showed some promise last season, but too early to tell. Gettleman has now orchestrated four drafts for...

We'll have to see what happens. There's always some unexpected things that happen every draft. Maybe a Corey Davis or Derek Barnett or O.J. Howard slip into the mid-20s. Still opposed to using both of those 2nds to go get one of those guys?

I wouldn't mind that as much as I would trading the 8, 2nd round, and more to move to 3.    But how about he sits back and not get all anxious this one time in a deep draft.

Bene and Williams were 5th round picks. For 5th rounders I'd call those good picks. Not gonna find many Josh Norman's in the 5th round. We got some good play out of Bene before he shattered his leg and Williams is probably penciled in to start at RT.

The only one of those trades I have a problem with is the move to get Funchess and I didn't like it at the time either.

Moving to #3 is probably out of the question. That would almost certainly have to involve next year's 1st and that's not going to happen. I don't see us moving up from #8. It's very costly to move up at the top of the draft.

We traded up to the top of the 3rd to get Williams

I'm already satisfied with the squad we've got going into the year.

If we manage to get an impact player in the first and solid contributors after that... well hot damn.

No i disagree,, I would like to have some young talent for the future..

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
