They use it to confirm what they see on the field.

this isn’t raiders drafting of the past where you see them take extremely talented athletes with no football resume to back it up. We use both. Which I think is good.

Sam Darnold: His defenders say he just needs a chance in a better environment. He will get that.

The Carolina Panthers didn't draft a quarterback in the first round, even with Justin Fields and Mac Jones on the board. They already traded Teddy Bridgewater.

In the second round, the Panther selected LSU receiver Terrace Marshall Jr., a fantastic college player who slipped due to injury concerns. He'll be paired with D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, a pair of 1,000-yard receivers. Darnold also has superback Christian McCaffrey with him. Then in the third round, the Panthers added to the line by drafting BYU tackle Brady Christensen. It's a good situation.

The Panthers are showing a lot of faith in Darnold, and not much of it has been earned. The dysfunctional Jets situation has been blamed. Now we'll have a chance to see.

I think this is just the analytics part of it that I keep hearing mentioned in NFL circles, they probably have certain athletic  benchmarks players need to meet to be considered. I think the Colts are similar with their approach.

He seems like a risky pick based on injury and lack of athleticism and shaky hands.  I dont think we are in a position as a franchise to being picking risks in the 2nd. 

Who lacks athleticism and has shaky hands?

I do too. I am curious how much it factors into the process.

Love this strategy. They’re drafting superior athletes who are coachable a round or two later than comparable talent, which means we sign them for cheap. Everyone wondering how we are going to fill out the holes in our roster with our cap limitations... this is how you do it. There will be some misses, sure, but I feel optimistic based on seeing what Rhule and Co. did with the roster last year.

Fitterer has finesse.  The ability to move up and down the draft without doing dumb moves.  When compared to past trade moves ( Little,  Kelvin, Everett, and Amanti Edwards) if it was not so painful it would be funny.  This is what a competent GM looks like.  Just to compare check out Giants and WFT to us after the draft.

I genuinely just don't see what the plan is, if there is one. I hope it becomes clearer with time and success.

I do.  Get as many picks as possible to increase the amount of young talent across the board and hope enough of them pan out to make us a contender.  This is how teams become consistent winners.  If enough of the picks pan out.  Or change coaches every 3-4 years if they don't pan out.

All three new players Friday were very productive college players and “elite athletes,” as Rhule said, available on the second day of the draft only because of minor perceived deficiencies.

For Marshall, it’s his medical history. For Christensen, he’s 24, meaning he’s a year older than Darnold, who is about to play his fourth NFL season. For Tremble, he’s a tight end who was used as a blocker most of the time at Notre Dame and so the question is whether he can develop as a receiver or just be Chris Manhertz 2.0.

Still, the Panthers deserve some credit for turning what was going to be two picks on the second day of the draft into three by the end of Friday.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB

      Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
