LOFL @ the duke “fans” in this thread trashing Graham’s game and the pick. Admit it, because most of us already know, you are slandering him because KU ended your season. Another talented team in Durham failing to live up to expectations. In other news, the sky is blue. 

“I don’t like his game”

”he doesn’t have an nba type of game”

”he won’t translate well to pros”

”I’d rather have Malik Newman, Leagerald Vick, Amanda Hugnkiss, etc” 

when all of us know, if the results would have been flipped and UNC was in duke’s place against KU - y’all would be cheering the pick and calling it a “steal” and probably even be willing to run Kemba out of town because we drafted Graham. Sad!

Wolpfackers fans this applies to you too because 95% of y’all are in the closet duke fans based solely on the fact that duke can beat Carolina in basketball and UNC-Raleigh rarely does. 

I love the pick. He is going to compete for the backup PG immediately, and that fills a big need on this team.

Did you ever think that maybe not everyone wears homer glasses when they evaluate pro prospects? That is probably a foreign concept to a state of NC ACC fan, I realize. This is a lot of mindless bickering over a second round draft pick.

    • I have considered free agency.  LT?  Either not good enough or too expensive.  Besides, this is a good OT draft.  (I would rather have a free agent, mind you, but the Panthers' reality suggests we can't do it without neglecting other positions).  What LTs are available in free agency, and what do you expect to pay?  Any Ickey-level OT is going to cost over $20m.   How much do we already have invested in our OL?  I get your point, but I do not think you can spend over $100m per on your OL. We have 2 guards and a right T who pull in about $75m per season.  We don't have a center yet.  Teams just don't let good LTs hit free agency, and when one does on rare occasion, he is expensive.  If you want a third of the Panther cap going to 5 Offensive Linemen, free agency is the way to go.  We still need S, ILB, Edge, WR, etc. I think we'd need more than Nijman--and I would understand if we went free agent for a T--but that is putting a TON of your cap at OL--so considering our situation, I do not see that option as preferable.  You may disagree. If I was not talking LT on our line and thinking about the cap, I would agree 100%.  
    • Will be interesting to see how they come out tonight. The Boston game seemed to open the flood gates of media attention. And it’s not just that they’re playing well, in some instances they are getting compared with all time greats. This is still a young team, and it would be easy for an immature team to lose some focus, buy into their own hype, and think they can coast bit. The Heat are a middle of the road team without their leading scorer. There is no big dragon to slay, no big statement to make. I think we’ll learn a lot tonight: are they young but mature, or do they still have a ways to go mentally?
    • Panthers North for the win. Good luck to him. Great guy, hated to see him leave here, but he's about to work with the best QB he's ever worked with (at least on a regular basis).
