Wonder if Bill Cowher had any input in that pick?

Not sure. He's a great LB but I think most teams felt the risk drafting him high was more than they were willing to pay. For the Steelers it was nothing unknown to them as they've had players with the same problem before. It worked out for them so they took a chance. I can't fault a team either way. It's all a gamble anyway.

The Panthers are so bad that the picks in the first 3 rounds should start if the front office is good

Why wouldn’t Legette and Brooks start? They say Brooks should be ready by training camp. I’m alright if they ease him in a bit but it seems pretty likely he starts at some point this season. And there’s no other WR on our roster who does what Legette does. He’s a starter.

Interesting to note: We'll end up with a pick in every round this year and gained our missing 2nd back next year.  Notable Bryce-trade capital was retrieved without losing anything beyond.  Albeit, you can't recoup us landing the #1 overall pick, but it's still aight maneuvering.

Being both a Wolfpack and Steeler legend, I would have to think Cowher couldn't let Wilson fall past them again and pulled a little influence.  Maybe not, but I could totally see that being plausible.

The maneuvering didn't bother me as much as who we picked when actually did make a selection.  Yes, getting all our draft capital back (standard amount of picks) this draft and recouping our 2nd next year was nice.

Pretty wild for 6 QBs to go in the top 12 then zero from picks 13 though 100.

Definitely reinforces the notion that there was a huge drop off after the first six. I just thought we'd see a decent drop off after the first four. I figured Nix and Penix would go somewhere between the late first and the end of the second. Definitely didn't see either in the top half of the first.

Pratt at 4.1.  Let's go!

How is Legette better than Mingo & TMJ? There's a good chance he doesn't even beat them out in camp.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • 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.
