I went back and looked and most draft picks were guys i've never heard of since. With Gettleman you get (typically) two starters, a solid backup and then well not much. 

 

2013
Star, Short, Klein

2014

Benjamin, Turner, Boston, Ealy (sorta)

2015

Shaq, Daryl Williams, Funch(?) 

2016

Butler (injury), Bradberry, Worley

He usually does very good if the picks are in rounds 1-3 after that almost nothing. So this year is great cause we get four picks in the top three rounds. 

I'd package every pick from rounds 4-7 and see how high up we could go. probably could get 5 starters. the draft is deep enough for it this year. 

It also points to the logic of trading down in the first round to get a 1 and a 2 to give gettleman more chances with the higher end draft talent.

I'm about to break hearts BUT here is what you could probably expect to happen ... imo realistically.

1.) DE ( Thomas or Barnett) 

2a.) Defensive Back that slides (Obi, Budda, Kevin King, Quincy Wilson)

2b.) TE (BPA)

3.) RB ( Perine )

4th and 5th packaged to move back into 3...

3b.)WR ( Dede Westbrook) 

6.) Guard (BPA)

7.) LB ( the annual linebacker gem)

3 high priority Udfa's and 7 camp bodies (2-3 of which make the practice sqaud) 

The Crystal ball is smoking .... ***drops mic***

A couple of pretty key misses in Ealy and Funchess though. That trade up for Funchess hurt. Still too early to call him a flat out bust, but it's certainly looking that way.

The fact there are many rookies coming in this year that are older than Funchess should be saying something. When he translates his potential on the field, we'll be talking about him as our WR1. 

Ealy wasn't a huge miss. The fact he was our best player - by far - in the Superbowl made his pick all the more worth it. If Remmers wasn't such a turnstile, Ealy would be hands down Superbowl MVP, and an easy non-bust for us. Only issue is inconsistency, but the potential is there.

Very few of Gettleman's picks have been busts. That's saying a lot.

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By strato · Posted

      Lot of different agendas dictating opinions.  I don’t think it was the best use of money with Hunt, specifically, but the concept of OL, I am a fan. I didn’t complain a ton because I am a believer in winning up front, on both sides of the ball. I’d rather have stout fronts than fancy WRs. I have complained some about Hunt not being worth his deal, after seeing him get pushed around in a game or two. It’s no crusade. And have complained in the context of shorting the defense.   They have leveled out the FA imbalance with the dual big signings this offseason, and it has always been the draft picks I am most protective of. Anyway The picks are the real imbalance. If you did a trade chart value of the picks we directly gave up for Bryce, and added the support picks invested for skill players, and put that on one side… then put the little 3 3rd rounders and a 2nd that the defense got over three years on the other it would be hugely out of balance. I just want the balance restored. Defense is still owed.

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. We did acquire a FA center this year finally. We'll see how much that impacts the line.  Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.

      Haha!!! That's true. Also carry Tomahawks, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, VSTOL aircraft, etc., but none of them clog up the crappers.
