Yea I can’t believe Lance wasn’t a consideration, especially since they though the Niners would likely take Mac Jones. 

There were reports that we didn't think Lance would fit Joe Brady's offense.

The fact that we didn't bother attending his second workout kinda lends credence to that.

This was pretty good.  I agree that draft room was more calm than I expected but we didn't see the full time haha.  Tepper being involved but not pushy is nice.  Whatever happens at least it seems like they got who they wanted.

It is a puff piece, but it's also consistent with reports we've had from Person and others who confirm we weren't interested in Fields.

Even as a puff piece though, this video has a pretty unprecedented level of access. You certainly wouldn't have gotten this kind of inside peek during the Jerry Richardson days. Heck, most teams in the NFL wouldn't have given you this kind of access even just a few years ago.

It's pretty great for the football fanatics among us.

they also don't want to give away anything useful to other teams, saw a few white/clip boards blurred out. for me I really enjoyed it

I liked it.  It was a puff piece and clearly some of it, reality tv staged (based on camera positions).

I appreciate it, just not enough if the filming was a hindrance to Fit, Rhule, Tepper and co.

But it seems they were comfortable with it and were able to do an amazing job and get filmed at the same time.

Kudos to the media dept.  Nicely done.

The Panthers of the past were insanely paranoid about letting even the tiniest scrap of information get out, even stuff that was after the fact and didn't matter anymore (Like, who cares about your draft board when the draft is over?)

Cameras inside the war room would have been unthinkable under Richardson.

The Carolina Panthers Camp Confidential is one of the best productions I have watched.  Every year they do such an amazing job of telling us how it is.

I loved they sat down before the draft and pretty much nailed the first seven picks.  They would have made Mel Kiper and the others look stupid.   It just goes to show how much attention to detail our staff does.  Not only who we are targeting but also what other teams are thinking.

What I also enjoyed was they were discussing the players we selected well in advance of the actual selection.   We got just about everyone we wanted when we wanted them.   

Watching those phone call to those young men was fun.  Most were truly humble and honored to be selected.

After watching this I cannot wait to see this team on the field.  I try to contain myself but I have a very strong feeling our defense is going to be amazing.  

I can't wait for the next episode.

    • You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.
    • Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.   
    • fingers crossed for BlueSky embeds to come with the board update at least all the schedule reveals will be on the youtube
