This was awesome. Shows you they never felt like they were reaching. 

For DJ—they went to get a very specific need in our scheme & our board metrics had the 93->80 trade as a +22

These guys had specific targets they really felt that conviction with. Just loved seeing the Zavala and Jammie bits as well.

RB and an outside sized CB would’ve been nice but we filled needs and got legit talent with each pick.

Good stuff

 

I love that they had DJ at 93 and were willing to trade up if necessary. Makes me wonder how many other teams had him graded higher than the internet experts? He was the only guy that immediately felt like a reach, so I really want him to come in and kick some ass.

Enjoyed watching this.  It was good to see the conviction they had with their picks..  Liked it when Dan Morgan encouraged Fitt to "go with your gut."

Also noticed that the draft room looks different than last year.  Anything and everything looking different is a good thing.

Seems like Dan Morgan is on his way up.. would be nice to hold on to him as long as possible but he seems to have a good relationship with Fitt. 

The draft room last year was terrible. Looked like they were in a hotel lobby

The other cool thing, and its so minor but when you have bosses... 

When They made the trade and Mrs Tepper picked up the phone, well at the end of it all Fitt was like 'you made the trade'

Clearly Fitt made the trade and she knows it, but smart man to compliment the boss...

I certainly enjoyed it and I applaud the Panthers for not doing as many creative edits as some other teams have been doing with their behind the scenes videos.  The were honest about the QB search process rather than pretending it has been destined since birth that Bryce was the guy.  And they even threw in the footage of Mingo vs Bergeron.  Other teams have been editing out that kind of stuff.

Loved the scene after drafting DJ where coach Reich walked in and reminded them of the whiteboard scenario they had gone over in his office pre-draft that had Young then Mingo then a trade up for DJ.  Then camera cut to that whiteboard.  All three of these episodes have been outstanding productions with real behind the scenes information. Big kudo’s!

Fitt made an interesting statement after they drafted Jammie Robinson: “We are one team. We stress that. There are no egos here…we’re never going to take a player and shove him down a coach’s throat or just because coaches want him. We want players the staff wants to coach.”  

This right here should get any Panthers’ fan fired up. Makes you wonder if this is what was happening under the previous regime. It appears the “square peg, round hole” days are over! I also like that Fitt, Reich and staff are not afraid to embrace players that have an edge, that “dog” mentality.

 Can’t wait ‘til the season starts!

What else could you expect when we had a sloppy, shoddy coach dressing like a regular guy that rolled off the couch on Saturday to mow the lawn.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
