I will say that Little is a far worse pick than Butler. The draft capital we paid for Little was a little more than the pick we used on Butler. Also, the 2019 draft was chock full of OL and a much better draft than 2016. Butler didn’t live up to his pick but the dude actually played and contributed. His last season with us was actually a good one. 6 sacks for a Non starting DT is really good. 

That’s a fair point but on the flip side I think we need to give the same time to little also then and let him play out his rookie contract. Not all players come in ready to play. 

likely? Probably not but you never know if little can find a way to be serviceable

The 2016 draft was horrible. If not for Bradberry (who we didn't even resign so that makes it even worse) it would have probably been the worst draft in team history . 

I was immediately incensed when we picked Vernon Butler and then proceeded to draft 3 CBs in a row . 

To his credit Gettleman had a much MUCH better final Panthers draft in 2017. Mccaffrey Moton Samuel all hits . Although Samuel didn't end up being a game breaking WR he had some decent contributions especially near the end of his tenure here. 

...this is when i knew gettlebag didn't know his azz from a hole in the ground.

I'm just grateful Gettleman is gone. When you're missing at the top of the draft it's just brutal, and he was bad in later rounds as well. And his free agent signings should have landed him in jail. In 2016 Gettleman's draft was horrific:

Round 1: Pick No. 30 – DT Vernon Butler - OMGGGGGGGGG

Round 3: Pick No. 77 – CB Daryl Worley - Couldn't guard anyone and drew PI penalties left and right.

Round 5: Pick No. 141 – CB Zack Sanchez - Cut quickly and looked high school quality.

Round 7: Pick No. 252 – TE Beau Sandland - Who????

Good post.  One thing that gets lost in the Marty vs. Gettleman debates is that the correct answer was ultimately "none of the above".

Blows my mind that people try to say Gettleman or Hurney was better. They were both TERRIBLE.

[pantherj]

Hurney:

Round 5, Pick 143: Josh Norman, CB

Gettleman:

Round 5, Pick No. 141 – CB Zack Sanchez

 

But yes they were both bad.

A single pick comparison doesn't really establish much as far as drafting talent. Hurney whiffed far more in the 2nd and 3rd where it really matters than Gettleman. It will be interesting now to see how not having JR influence will affect our new GM.

Yes I said they were both bad. I just made that comparison because it popped into my head. No point behind it.

You're right bro! I think he will end up a top 10 DE.

People forget just how bad the Grier pick was. Marty Hurney said they had him as their top rated QB on their draft board. This fuger was supposed to be our insurance policy for Cam yet he can't even beat out an XFL QB on the depth chart.

Doesn’t it feel a little odd to quote yourself and agree with yourself online?

Little and Grier were both terrible. Gaulden was terrible. And then going back Armanti and Pickles were both inexcusable. It wasn’t just a whiff when Hurn-dog missed it was a catastrophe.  I really never felt that way about DG’s picks. I guess at least with his misses, I could understand the logic. The one I didn’t care for was Funchess but I still understood their thinking.

Really? I don’t think I could disagree more. The obvious issue was the Kalil signing but I really think JR had a hand in that.

Norwell, Ginn, Mitchell, Oher, Coleman and Tillman were all excellent signings.

There were quite a few decent ones like Love, Allen, Harper, cotchery, and Florence and Finnegan as well. 

I guess Boykin and Shepard kind of sucked but I don’t think their contracts really hurt us.

DG’s strength, mAybe the only strength, was pro scouting. He has a career built on it.

Only when I have the time. A lot like fapping.
