Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan has a busy offseason ahead of him. With a defense in need of a substantial retooling, and an offense still seeking playmakers, the second-year GM is on the hunt for talent. And that’s what brought him and nearly the entire Panthers scouting department to Frisco, Texas, this past weekend. More than a dozen Carolina evaluators were on hand during the first two practices of the annual East-West Shrine Bowl on Saturday and Sunday. The group interviewed dozens of players and watched practices to get insight ahead of the draft process. Most of that group will also attend the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, later this week.

I want good players. Every team has highly motivated, incredibly hard working, studious, great guys they cut every training camp because they just aren't good enough. Yeah, don't draft talented lazy idiots, but all the coach platitude hard work in the world doesn't matter if you don't have the talent.

I feel like this is one of the traps that great players fall into. In their mind the game is all mental. It's all about how hard you work and study and having the right attitude. That's because for them it was. Because they already had the elite talent. But that's the thing, if you don't have the talent all that other stuff just flat out doesn't matter.

Yep.  Most of the hardest working players were never made it to the NFL.  Most of the guys who wanted it the most never made it to the NFL.   That's why I've never understood people backing up players on here like Legette recently when they say they know he's a hard worker so he will succeed.   That guarantees nothing, it helps, but it only helps so much.  That's not me taking a shot at XL, he's just a recent example I've heard it a lot.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
