Panthers GM candidate Ed Dodds now available for hire

Said it before, but it speaks well of us that Dodds agreed to interview.

He declined to interview with the Browns last year because he didn't feel like he was ready. He added that you generally only get one chance to do something like this and if he was gonna do it, he absolutely wanted to hit it out of the park.

I don’t know anything but the Colts draft in recent years have been very average to bad, other than hitting on Nelson and Leonard. 

Pittman Jr, Taylor and Blackmon were all starters and played well from this year’s draft. They were drafted in the 2nd/3rd. They didn’t have a first or maybe they traded down, not sure.

They also had a few more players than Leonard and Nelson in 2018. Hines was a 4th rounder and he’s got over 2100 yards in 3 years. Braden Smith has started 3 years at T.

Their 2019 draft was meh, just role players but both 2018 and 2020 drafts got at least 3 solid starters and some role players. Those are good drafts. Coming away with 2 good starting OL, a solid WR, a solid duo of RBs, a stud LB, a starting safety and a bunch of backups is a nice haul in 2 drafts.

Traded their 2020 1st for Deforrest Buckner. I’d call that a win as well.

He was also a major influence in Seatle during 2007-2016 seasons, leading to 2 superbowls and helped draft wilson and the legion of boom.

Paris Campbell has some talent also, though injuries have derailed the start of his career. I wouldn't count him out just yet!

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
