the draft is both predictable and unpredictable. a lot can change from now until april. undisclosed injuries discovered, measurables not living up, deeper tape study on these prospects. Every year some guys move up the ladder and go down. so anything is possible! 

Nobody expected Star Lotulelei to make it to the Panthers in '13. At the end of the '12 college season, every mock had him top-3.

Falling from #6 to #8 is the equivalent of losing a mid-3rd round pick.

Who cares. If you can’t find a good player because you’re picking two spots worse you shouldn’t be a GM.

 Culture is far more important.

That's what I've heard several times during late season wins during the Tepper era. Draft capital is real and measurable. Moral victories are fleeting. That's just reality.

And I bet you can’t even remember what spots the Panthers were supposed to be picking in had they not won.

And we've seen year after year good teams picking great players late and bad teams taking bad players early.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
