Recommended Posts

Was on talking about the CBS mock.

 

He went into Safeties. 

-Said expects Searcy will not make this team this year.

-then asked if the Reid, Gaulden, Collin Jones will he good enough. 

He then said "trust me they have a plan". Seemed confident as if he has his sources.

 

 

 

 

Would not shock me 1 bit if we go safety with pick 2 or trade pick 3 back into the 2nd for one

you want him at 16? I'm assuming you've posted this elsewhere but I haven't seen it 

Can’t justify taking him over any of the edge rushers, but somehow I want him in a panthers uniform. 16 is too rich due to who will be available but if a trade back happens, it’s time

So far, I've liked how the team has calmly gone about setting things to right after a season that threw us a lot of bad breaks. Marty hasn't panicked (at least publicly) and he hasn't mortgaged the future to retain anyone. He's cut Kalil the Lesser free and retained a serviceable, maybe even good safety in Reid. 

He handled the retirement of Kalil the Greater well and replaced him with a veteran center of good repute (at least in the eyes of everyone except for that horse-teethed Elway) and managed to dodge the diva carousel that rolled through the league.

What will he take at 16 or 47? Heck if I know. I'd take OT and DE if possible, but I think I'm going to trust Marty on this. He's been masterful when it comes to first rounders so far, maybe his second rounders will be just as good. I think he learned a lot in those years off. He certainly appears to have learned more during the Gettleman years than Gettleman himself did.

    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
