Id be happy with Arthur Jones if he fell. And maybe Rob Gronkowski if they go TE.

As an Arizona alum I would be doing back flips if we drafted Gronk and I'd be ordering his jersey within seconds of the pick being made. It took 2-3 guys to bring him down anytime he touched the ball, one guy just literally could not bring him down. There were times that he had multiple defenders literally hanging on to him with their feet off the ground and he just took them for a ride 5-10 yards down the field.

Having said all that he'll be going to a team that uses their TE more as a receiver than a blocker, he'll never get drafted by the Panthers unfortunately. He has Gonzalez, Gates, Witten type potential as a TE in the NFL, had he not been hurt this year he'd be looked at as a top 15 pick guaranteed, he's that special.

If this is the case, why did we draft a guy like Gary Barnidge? He's no great blocker.

He's also not the receiver that Gronk is, and Gronk is a good blocker as well, very well rounded. Now even though Fox hasn't used the TE as a receiver much in the past, if we got a guy like Gronk that would change immediately. He would open up the field for Smitty right away as they'd always have to have safety help on him or he'll destroy any LB who tries to cover him one on one.

Trust me, if he's still on the board when the Panthers first pick is coming around, there won't be a person in the world who's hoping we pick him up more than me, I just don't see it happening. Fox has one year left to do something, I don't think he'll take a player who he'd have to create a whole new set of plays for when we could use that high pick on another player who fits his schemes.

I will burn BOA down if we go DT, TE, DE and Golden Tate is still on the board. We need a freaking wide receiver with some talent on this team other than Steve Smith. Moose is a FA...do these people REALLY think we are going into next season with a new QB and only one legitimate receiving threat???

How many DL do we need to draft before this organization picks one they like to stick in the starting rotation? We have taken 5 DL in the last 3 drafts...get their asses on the field and stop wasting picks.

We better bring in AT LEAST one WR if not 2 that can compete for the starting #2 job.

      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.

      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.
