Walker is only a project in your head

I try my best to avoid doing that--but it is hard to do.  I had someone tell me the other day--you have predicted the panthers to take about every player...He was exaggerating, probably because he thinks I am awesome, but your mind really should be fluid at this time.  I doubt the person we think the Panthers might take in March is our opinion in late April.

I just wish these guys would quit trying to guess the guy that surprises the most. It's like if you pick a stock. Pick after pick that goes up 50% is better than one out of three that goes up a 100%. This is typical of most cultures, they want the extra points for "outthinking" their peers.

Exactly. We've been blowing draft after draft after draft and that shows up in a glaring way when you look at our roster. Just find players. If they turn out to be All Pros, great. But you have to find contributing players in the draft year after year or you're fuged.

Garbage teams that blow rounds 1 and/or 2 stay garbage teams. Those 2 spots are the lifeblood of the org.

    • Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.
    • It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
