The fact WFT took one a few picks later tells me we knew they were eyeing one and wanted to make sure we got the pick of the litter. Jansen is old and we will save a million to cut him. Half this board was crying about late picks being useless, then (rightfully) celebrating over picks like Nixon and Brown. Well, we probably just drafted a 12+ year starter at LS while saving a million. Of course the negative brigade will manufacture some reason to be unhappy with it. 
 

Yesterday the 6th round had no talent. Today we passed over 3 potential OG starters for a long snapper. SMH this board is nonsense.

I posted before the WFT pick. I figured he could have been had in the 7th since it's not such a high demand position. I dont have an issue with getting a LS if we are moving on from Jansen. A million a year for someone who has always been reliable at what I feel is an undervalued position is worth it in my opinion, but it is just that, my opinion. I just really liked the idea of Morrissey because of his versatility without the injury history.

It is absolutely worth it, but if we think this guy can play for more than a decade for us and Jansen maybe only has 1 year left, then saving a million and moving on now seems ideal. Especially if we know we can go ahead and lock up the future at the position in the process.

We didn’t take Fields so some must now insist that every decision we make is stupid. Despite there being quite a few logical reasons for this choice. 
 

So it’s easier to just say that the literal best collegiate long snapper is “average” so we can continue pushing the idea our entire team is run by morons.

In true Huddle fashion 

hes the most pessimistic poster by far. 

90% of his posts are a negative spin on something. I wonder what his life is like

When you have a dozen draft picks and only 53 spots, the chances a late round draft pick making the team isn't great. So why not take the best rookie long snapper and save $1 million on your cap? Honestly one of the soundest picks at that point of the draft.

      I'm gonna be a grandpa!  My 2 year old son sat on my lap Panther's inaugural season in Clemson.  Die hard fans ever since.  Now he's going to be a daddy and sharing the fan tradition with a custom made shirt.  Check out the little fella in the sonogram (look closely).

      Top 5 draft targets for positions of need

      By Basbear · Posted

      Watch out now...... I agree but many others disagree with this line of thinking.  I seen a recent summary too- Which would you rather have the best safety or the 8th best edge? Best safety maybe kyle hamilton, the 8th best edge is Maxx Crosby. Id take maxx even with Myles or TJ on the roster. Plus if you don't like Maxx as 8th best, Id take whoever the 8th best edge is over the Kyle.  Panthers need a starter level edge, the only realistic shot is using the 1st rounder. But if somehow a stud LT pulls out a gas mask and falls to 19, draft them if much higher ranked.  The funny deal is those teams drafting in the late portion of drafts don't need edge, QB, WR, or OT..... I wonder why?!??? hmmmmmmm.... plus it pays off for them, cause they do need OG, ILB, TE, safety..... and now they get a top level player to remain great....

      A pretty insane QB stat

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Wrong conclusion. FOs should look at this and say “What can I do to better set up my top pick to succeed?” Not say welp I guess I just shouldn’t draft the most talented player at the most important position. It’s like saying the Cavaliers shouldn’t have drafted Lebron because they did a poor job building around him and he didn’t start winning championships until he left. It’s silly. Should teams also look and say “wow look at all these super bowls won by QBs drafted in the 5th round, guess that’s the best round to draft a QB.” Nonsense.
