So as we went through the process, we really kind of were drawn to him. There were a lot of quarterbacks that year, but he was like the one guy that had that ‘it’ factor to him. So we interviewed him at the senior bowl, and then the combine we kind of stayed away from him. We knew we were going to go down that road. And we just kind of played it really quiet with him and we took him. 

 

 

This is telling.. If he's following the footprint, there's one guy they are doing this with, actually 2. Ridder and Strong. Both that could be hand in the second or the third if they trade up.

Howell too.  They saw him play in BOA a time or two-Rhule was on the sideline (I think).  Think about it--howell and Wilson have many of the same skills.   He is not mentioning Howell, and if we trade back say, 10 spots, we could be starting to get into Cassel, Howell, Ridder, Strong range.

 Totally forgot about Howell.

I think this is great insight into how Fitt thinks. His evaluation of Wilson is pretty telling. The physical qualities don't always matter that much compared to the intangibles. I remember watching John Gruden's QB camp on ESPN for the upcoming QBs in the draft and Wilson stood out a lot. He was smart and had the "it" factor.

My take is that they have their selection for LT and QB narrowed down. But the plan is to trade down to hopefully get both. But if they stay at 6 I would not be surprised if they don't take an edge rusher. The Huddler will implode killing a million hamsters. 

If they do manage to trade down I get the feeling it will be for Penning and Ridder or Howell.  The top 3 QB's will probably be gone before their next pick they trade down to and even if one is there I feel they would take Penning over him. Then they could get the QB with their next pick, either late 1st or 2nd round.  

I'm not buying what the team is selling with all this QB interest being displayed publicly.  Nope, I smell a rat.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
