Another reason I am not high on Fitterer at all. Teams coveting OL and is having to pay a lot for two bad OL FAs and yet we don’t take Humphrey over Marshall, knowing that we were planning to extend Robby, and we take a long snapper over a guy who was rated as a day 2 G talent.

If OL are so hard to get and our OL sucks balls, in 11 picks you go a guy in the 3rd that you aren’t sure if he’s a T or G and in the 6th you take a project who had a 1.48 RAS (over the G above who had a 9.8 RAS score). You couldn’t intentionally make more bad decisions than our FO. 

I'm not high on Fitt either, but to be fair, he only admitted to trying to trade for OL after free agency and the draft were long over with.

I'm not a fan of the RAS score. I'd rather have a guy that can actually play his position well over one that has a high score. Take Ian Thomas for example. He has a high RAS score, but isn't a good TE.

He is probably talking about Penning or Cross being reaches.

Not everyone is as high on Cross, he has him mocked 22,and has us drafting Penning.

 

 

From Jeremiah: "The Panthers are desperate for O-line help. This is a little early for Penning, but he has guard/tackle flexibility and he'll start from Day 1 in Carolina."

The LS pick was indefensible. During the draft everyone here was clamoring to take Trey Smith. Everyone on ESPN said take Trey Smith, he's too talented to pass up and its worth the medical risk. We needed a OG in the worst way. Its the sixth round. Yet we take a long snapper that not only did we not need, but probably wouldn't have been drafted. And of course Trey Smith goes on to be a very good guard his rookie season.

When Thibodeaux drops to 6, and Rhule has to choose between Thibs, Pickett and an OL, true colors will show. 

As much as the huddle will crucify the pick, Thibs would be the logical choice. The only thing they can't do is draft a CB.

You also save a lot of money on Reddick and maybe get a 3rd round comp in 2023. I wouldn’t hate that especially since it means that the 3 tackles are likely already gone.

Everyone keeps referring to the top 3 tackles as they are all worthy of the 6th pick.  There is a very good chance the teams don't view them that way.  

That is why Jeremiah says we might reach for someone like Penning.  He actually has Cross mocked 22nd.  To the fans' Cross isn't a reach but to Jeremiah or the teams he could be.

It's very possible the us, or any team, could have OT1 and OT2 in a totally different tier then OT3 and OT4.  That is why I would not be surprised at all if OT1 and OT2 are gone we don't consider another position.

I could easily see the top of our board looking something like OT1, OT2, DE1, DE2, CB1, S1 in no particular order. If one of those top tier talents are there, they might not be willing to pass to draft a lower tier talent even if it is at position of "great" need such as most think LT is.  At that point they might decide to make due with BC.

Personally, I think there is a very good chance at least 2 of the OTs are off the board by the time we pick, Jags, Giants, Texans are all in play, how high we view OT3 will go a long way in deciding what we draft.

Two things that bother me...

First, they smokescreened interest in a quarterback last year. They could be doing something similar this year.

And second, that phrase "even if it's a reach" isn't something I like to hear.

Should read, "As long as his reach is greater than Slaters".

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
