What has Scott Fitterer done right?

I could write a long list of Fitterer’s failures as Panthers GM. What has he done right? I am really having trouble figuring it out. 

Picking Icky? Is that the best thing he’s done? Zavala if he pans out as a legit starter? Maybe Chuba Hubbard? Wait never mind it was who Matt Rhule’s WIFE who picked him.

He's got a few decent draft picks. Icky most would agree was a no brainer kind of pick though. We had an immense need at LT and it was one of three options. Either way you're rolling the dice. Horn would be his shining achievement but the kid can't and possibly won't ever stay healthy. His initial signings on the OL were instant turds ie Elflein and Erving. His trades are ehhhhh Gilmore ended up being a needless GM mode on Madden kind of move. The 3rd we sent to the Jaguars for Henderson is looking like a steal for them at the moment. The trade for Shenault is likely another pointless one if he can't stay healthy which was his issue with his last team. There's just a lot of eh or meh or outright bad mixed in with his overall body of work as GM. When you consider the fact he's being kept upright on the defense by two Hurney picks in Brown and Burns you have to ask yourself what are our standards if the guy we agree was absolute poo as a GM is the only reason our roster hasn't fully bottomed out in Fitterer's 3rd season as GM.

I'm far from sold. I've watched folks staunchly defend him and Gettlemnan both simply because they aren't Marty Hurney but at some point we have to move on from simply getting away from Hurney and try to get an actual competent GM.

Hurney could at least identify a star player which I’ve yet to see Fitterer figure out.

The problem with that is Tepper is still in charge of making that decision on the next GM.

 

Everything he touches turns to shiittt!

    • That's usually the narrative when there aren't highly touted QBs or DEs. Off ball LB is the position this year. And there are some really good prospects. WRs are deep too. No generational level guys but very deep with solid options.  I would target CJ Allen in the 1st. I want a real ILB. Not a pass rusher that can move back. Not a safety that can move up. He's smart, tough, instinctive and durable. Dude had surgery on his meniscus and missed one game. One game. And... he's only played LB. Watching him control guards with his hands andsift through the garbage to get to the ball is refreshing. That's my guy in the 1st. 
    • It’s always a weak draft, next year is always better according to the draftniks. This is a weak draft for QB, WR, and TE. Theres only a few true LT. RB and DB are average. It’s a good class for the rest of the Oline, Dline, Edge, and LB.
    • there is only a handful of blue chippers (Reece, Styles, Downs, Love, Bain) but overall its a pretty deep draft with solid players.  Really deep on the defensive side particularly lb's so that is in our favor.  Thats why I have been saying if styles is not there at 19 (he wont be) then try to pull a Rams/Falcons type deal and get another 2nd and first for next year.  IMO there really isnt much difference in quality of players at the back half of the first into the 2nd
