TE2 was one of our big weaknesses though and it was very easily fixable this draft.

And sometimes the cards don't fall in the order you'd like to fix it.

Which TE's would you have rather had in Rounds 1-4 over the players we picked?  Because I ain't buying that a 5th round TE would have fixed a darned thing.

Seriously, what TE would you guys have taken there? That run on TEs with 3 of the first 7 picks in the 5th being TEs pretty much took TE out of play for us there.

We should have moved up instead of taking a CB, but hoepfully we get Barnridge!

Well we also need to remember late last season we picked up our project TE in Chris Manhertz. He is the speedy athletic TE. Or maybe the staff feels good about Eric Wallace or Simonson. How much better our 5th round TEs than them?

Personally I would have loved Butt or Leggett but they were off the board so how can we complain? Sure, we could have traded up but maybe we are looking for somebody in the 6th and 7th?

Get Bucky Hodges or Ricky Seals-Jones in the 5th or 6th or undrafted and we've upgraded Dickson. It's really not hard to upgrade over one of the worst players (not just TEs, he grades as one of the very worst players) in the NFL.

And maybe barnidge getting cut changed their draft approach today. We can hope, right? 

Very possible.

Barnidge has just finished 2 seasons where he caught 79 and 55 balls respectively.

He's also an unrestricted FA.

Signing Barnidge would be a helluva pickup.  Better than any late round rookie.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
