Trade back trade back. Trade back. Who else feel like this draft had Tepper and his wife all over it?  Dan Morgan “this is who I would like to draft, but Mr Tepper, what do you want to do”. It just feels the same as every other year. Went with an injury prone RB but thought it wasn’t ok to go with an injury prone LB that is a stud.  Draft gets a solid C so far.

Every player who has an injury isn't injury prone or every player alive would have that label. 

They have completely different situations medically.

Well, we all need to keep in mind that Morgan was part of the same FO that made all the blunders that have been discussed ad nauseam in this forum for months. 

It was a convenient and understandable thought process to think, "Oh it was all Fitterer! It was him that is at fault!" But this was the same thought process most of us had for Fitterer when Matt Rhule was here.

The truth is, anyone who had a hand in decisions during the absolute shitshow of the past few seasons shouldn't be making decisioms for us now. But we know Morgan(who we all love as a player and that will never change) was involved. How much is a mystery but boy all this seems to depressingly familiar. And we all also know David Tepper still has his hands in this at some level. So right out of the gate, you have good evidence of why this might be looking as familiar as it does.

Everyone knows where Morgan worked.  But some seem to paint this odd picture that the folks who were part of the mess and mindset of the last 3 years….were silently raging against everything and now are different. 

We just traded down with 2 of our 3 picks to plug holes of picks we mismanaged prior.  That’s something we did under Fitterer 

what this staff values in terms of athletic numbers and potential.  That’s something we did under Fitterer. 

and we did a lot to the stuff under Fitterer, in part because of the people under Fitterer.  Who largely remain on that side.

Several years ago, I became a school administrator after serving as a teacher and assistant under some terrible administrators.  While I had a voice and I picked my battles carefully, I was frustrated because I may have had a voice, but I did not have control.  I imagine that Morgan's association with the leadership team was complicated, and Morgan seems like the type who would learn from observing how NOT to do things as much as how to do things.  When I was awarded my own leadership opportunity, we immediately turned things around--not because I was awesome (unrelated fact), but because through their errors, I learned what to do.  That is my only example, but I was affiliated with some poorly run schools led by idiots.

That RB had 1 ACL tear and wouldn’t have made it past Dallas in rd 2

while that LB had a Shoulder injury, Multiple knee injuries including being reported last night that he is completely missing a ACL now in one knee.

and almost fell out of rd 3

Tepper had nothing to do with this draft, quit your whining 

How do you know that? 

I mean, sure sounds like he was in on interviews.  And he is one of the most meddlesome owners in the league…..but suddenly isn’t just because? 

Panther PR is just that.  Tepper is well aware of the opinion of himself.  So he attempts to manage that at times.  I don’t believe an old billionaire is going to change.  Because he swing and missed? That’s been his whole life.  Tepper doesn’t care if he misses.

      Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that.

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
