Don't Open unless you want to be even more upset at this draft

Lemme just state first, that I am fine with the draft. I'm not overjoyed, but I'm cool. I wanted a bit more Safety help (not a converted CB) and obviously more help on the O-line. But when I looked at this - it made me sick to my stomach.

Remember when Gettleman traded the 4th round pick to Cleveland for Andy Lee??

yeah, Andy Lee, the punter who is no longer on the team... Well that was pick #123 overall and Cleveland took TE Durham Smythe, Notre Dame. Meh, no big deal, I like the potential of Ian Thomas and think he could be the best pick of this draft - even more than DJ Moore. Anyways.. back to the point..
Well right after Cleveland took their TE the #124th pick was by the Chiefs and who did they grab?
They grabbed FS Armani Watts from Texas A&M.

Now, Gaulden sounds really, really, truly smart and a student of the game - I was blown away by his interview here the other day. He will probably be decent at either Safety position. But do you realize we had shots at Justin Reid at the END of the 2nd Rd, Harrison at the END of the 3rd Rd AND we woulda had a shot at Armani Watts in the 4th!? <----- All 3 of those would have been bonafide steals!!!

 

::Deep breath:: .........but I'm fine, im fine.. my last vent before I welcome everyone with open arms to the Panthers org.
That is all.

32 teams seemed to rate all of these guys substantially lower than some Huddlers did. 

Marty went for versatility, toughness, traits and fit. I can live with that. And it's not like there wasn't some level of production out of Gaulden, so who is to say at this point which guy will make more of an impact?

I have made 1 comment and 1 thread simply questioning this draft thru the entire weekend. sh!t - even @Jeremy Igo has voiced his dislike 10x more for these picks than I have. I know he's an edgelord, but I wouldn't call him useless...

if the Huddle is not a place where you come to complain - then I don't even know why this place exists...

      Experience with Electric Vehicles?

      By d-dave · Posted

      Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
