All defensive draft "just fell that way"

Panthers make history with 2020 Draft class

To be clear, the Panthers didn't intend to use all of their picks on defensive players. But that's the way things worked out, and it's how Carolina became the first team in the common draft era — which began in 1967 — to spend each of its picks on defensive players.

"We really didn't come in with that plan," Hurney after it was all over. "But we basically did stick to the board and the groupings and it just happened it was all seven (on) defense. I mean, we knew coming in that we wanted to help our defense — we knew that. But we didn't come in planning that all seven picks were going to be defense. It just fell that way."

To be fair, Rhule said they were looking at taking an offensive guy multiple times, but was taken 3-4 picks ahead of us. I went back and found 3 rounds where a guard was taken within that range before our pick.

Watched his interview on the Panthers website and that is his story.  What I took notice to was that he wants to trade in every draft.  He even admits that he has to.  Think about that for a minute.

That's weird to go into it wanting to do that, no?  Did he say the reasoning?

He just stated that he has to.  Explains why he gets taken advantage of by other GM's.  He telegraphs his pick and is easily manipulated into making stupid trades.

Haha yeah, I could be reading too much into it but it just sounds very impulsive. 
What if we're perfectly fine in our draft positioning, is he just trading out of sheer excitement? 

Luckily there is more than one man involved in that final decision I'd assume.

I think it was Brian Billick that said "a lot of teams follow their board instead of drafting for need.  But its amazing how many times players at need positions end up with a slightly higher grade than they should have."

You should watch the interview.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      This is one of my key concerns lost in the sauce that is the neverending conversation about him evading pressure and the OL. Eventually any QB is going to have to step up into the pocket and show the defense they can still beat them even if they get through. We have a limited QB who cannot consistently do this and as such we are relegated to going back and forth about how successful he was at evading pressure but we have little else to write home about. Tyler Shough stepped up into the pocket and made plays despite being pressured and sacked. He's played in about 35 less games than Bryce Young. That is a problem. And isn't just going to go away. The Bucs are going to do the same thing after watching the film.

      Oh, absolutely! That doesn't absolve the absolute dogshit hockey that the team played in front of him, though. Only Cane that played well tonight was Bradly Nadeau.

      Thanks for illustrating my point.  No one in the last several pages of this discussion is suggesting we should hang on to him, but anytime someone says anything less than "take him out back and shoot him" you act like they are. That's either you not understanding what you're reading or just being a nimrod because you can't keep up. (I would have said 'or just sh-tposting' but you're way too emotional on this topic for that) Either way, the result is the same 😆
