Draft X they said!!

Boys, we can play "Coulda woulda shoulda" all day long. But the fact is we got two receivers with a lot of potential. One "project" that took away the #33 overall, which could of been a player who could come in and make an immediate impact. But we are stuck in this position. And regardless, if we take Luck at #1, I will forget about the whole A.E. draft screw up. That Pick alone is worth a A+ rating on day one.

I said we should have taken Shipley over LaFell, not made the trade for AE and taken Danario Alexander in the 7th.

Sounds pretty good to me.

You also said Mike Williams would never amount to anything in the NFL.

None of us have a particularly magnificent record on predicting draft picks overall.

Your point?

My point is that trying to one-up someone for wanting players who ended up lesser, or trying to prove people wrong by showing our picks were better, or trying to show Hurney did good, or trying to lighten the mood showing the future is bright is all pointless. We went 2-14. Big deal, Gettis and LaFell did better than Tate and Gillyard. So what? We suck.

The grass is always greener on the other side. I think we actually made out pretty good on the duo. Yes, LaFell could benefit from Stick'em, but he made some awesome plays during the season. Gettis may turn out to be the steal of the draft above all the rookie WRs, including Ford and Shipley. He's bigger, stronger and just a step off the smallish Ford. I'll take my chances.

Ford gives you the benefit of a great kick returner. Look at how Hester helped the bears. Not saying he will turn out better than Gettis, just another thing to look at.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
