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.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
