most those teams were already stacked and trying to get over the hump, making those high RBs luxury picks. Panthers don’t have that luxury and still have a ton of holes to fill. This pick addresses none of those holes 

Rb was a hole, even though everyone here was sucking off Chuba.

Taking a RB top ten isn’t how it’s done these days…but teams are still doing it. Taking the top RB in the second is not a problem. 

We are the worst team in the NFL.  That factors for me.  

if we were trying to get over the hump….someone mentioned teams like Buffalo, SF, etc investing in a RB.  I think it changes things if you are in a position to just find a missing piece to a puzzle almost put together 

plus he just blew his knee out.  Don’t even know if he will be ready come camp time.  That’s just not going to get people that aren’t big on RBs early to change that mindset just because Carolina did it l.  Think in this particular draft….3rd round was the earliest I would entertain RBs and that’s early.  So I’m just staying true to what I said leading up to the draft

I forgot to add who I think that we will take (can't edit my post).  Now, this is the negative side of me based on the history of this franchise.

#33 Legette

#39 Sainristil

#65 Brooks/Benson

Like I said, good thing Saniristil got picked or I would have crushed my Panthers suck at drafting list.

🤷‍♂️ I’m just saying, I get the argument to not take a RB top half of the 1st. Taking one in the second isn’t a problem, especially when you’ve addressed most of your other needs and need to put weapons around your flailing young QB

U just refuse to hear that RB is easy to find late or in FA. So let’s agree to disagree I suppose 

Okay right now not half way through the season pick one RB that goes 5th or later UDFA that immediately has a breakout season.... I'll wait we can hold the receipt.

Especially when you picked up a future second and RB was the plan all along.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
