I hope we give Daley looks at LG and maybe RT as well not just backup Turner. If something happens Moton may jump to LT again. GVR is 100% backup.

Man we have some serious talent and potential but we also need Lady Luck to shine on our odd year health wise.

Yep. But honestly, that's the case around the league. Virtually every roster has it's thin spots and a key injury or two can derail the season of just about any team in the league.

I just hope that if the need arises, we'll be willing to kick Moton over to LT. I know coaches hate allowing one injury to disrupt two positions but we've seen all too well the consequences of fielding trash at LT.

I have. I’ve got to get over it! You know I’m in here a bunch for the draft so I get worked up over it.

I'm the same mostly only post for draft content and such.. and still it amazes when we do the things we do when clearly better talent is on the board.. I have never gotten over picking shaq.. or vern butler..I wasn't thrilled about the trade up for little either.. but hopefully this pans out.

There were a few really good options for us in 2018. Last year they got goosed by Little (I hope he works out) and honestly I understand the Grier pick. It was when we took Gaulden that we should have made a better choice. I understand the draft this year, just as important positions. It’s not wanting all pros at every spot unrealistic thinking, it’s more not reaching for a guy who’s athletic profile gives him no room for error to be effective in the NFL.

I can't even get behind the Grier pick either.. 3rd rounders I'm thinking starter period. And I know Grier could end up being a starter at some point because of cam, but I don't think the difference between him and say Tyree Jackson was big enough to warrant a 3rd when he went in what the 7th. Still could have got a starting safety at that point.

It’s a pleasure to watch and document these two legends in action.

That’s what I hope but again the depth. If Cockrell wins the FS job, which would be great as it means we have a better option, but if he’s there we are on injury away from garbage at all 4 spots and we still don’t know who the starting nickel is. Thank goodness we hit on Bradberry and Donte and Reid took a good deal before FA. Our secondary could be a train wreck and we need some healthy luck this year. 

they were a train wreck in 2013 but were decent due to our front 7. Im hoping thats the case this year

You need to change your thinking.

Last year, the Panthers had one starter out of 22 who was a 3rd round pick.  Of the five starters picked third round or later, four of them were undrafted.  The only third round starter?  Trai Turner.  We actually had only two 3rd round picks on the entire roster:  Turner and Gaulden.

That's the Panthers history picking in the 3rd round due to pick a like gaulden and Grier. With Grier your not even really giving yourself a shot at a starter.. you picked him as insurance..Most of the league is still looking at starters in the 3rd round. It's very rare you see one just end up cut or a flat out bust.

Great response from Norv Turner on Cam saying he doesn't have to be Superman anymore: "It's great that he says it. Wait till it's 3rd-and-goal at the 4 and he takes off and dives over about five guys."

Watching Norv on All or Nothing made me love him.

He has the same reactions to the bad stuff that I do.
