So does hiring of Fred Graves have a ripple effect on draft day?

I would suspect anyone with half a brain realizes that now that Smitty's college coach has been brought in, Smitty isnt going anywhere.

So now that smitty is presumably in place on the roster for the next few seasons (atleast this one, as most had suspected), why would we take AJ Green at #1?

IMO there would be no roster space for him, and he would only take time away from development of a decently promising set of young WR's in Gettis and LaFell. I think we have bigger needs to address.

So, do you think this hire could have positioned the panthers to concentrate on a QB or D-lineman by making sure smitty is happy and being included in the gameplan finally?

Couldn't just be the best guy for the job?

I don't think it says anything about Smith or his future.

I doubt we were going WR anyway. I think Fairley is the pick.

I actually think this does have an impact on Smith's future here. Gantt said that Smith has been lobbying for Graves for years.

As for the pick I agree. Fairley will more than likely be a Panther.

Only way we take Green is if Fairley let's himself fall out of shape over the next few months(very possibly). Even then I think Patrick Peterson is the better choice over Green.

I disagree, Darin Gannt said Smitty has been clamoring to get this guy for years. To me, this is a token from Rivera to Smitty to get him on board with the new Regime and stabilize the position.

Graves could be the best avail., but i dont see it.

I do agree and think they will end up with a D Lineman with the pick though

Don't think were taking Green #1, but if we do the question is will Armanti get the axe? Don't think Gettis or LaFell would in that scenario. I guess AE would be our #5 though?

yeah i dont think Green will be ruled out, all top prospects will be evaluated i am sure. but, hopefully he will tear up the combine and we can convince some team he is worth taking #1, and they may trade up to get him b/c they think we may take him.

it's a good thing that smith never gets hurts and misses games or that he's not getting older and slower. also great that we know both gettis and lafell aren't going to turn into keary colbert. now we don't have to worry about WR for YEARS!

lol

so we should put DT on the back burner and make a luxury pick for a WR when we have three competent guys at receiver?

look, if we picked AJ Green I'd be fine with it. I think Green is going to be a great receiver. my biggest issue with that is we have absolutely no one at DT. if we get a good DT it will immediately make our entire defense better.

Didn't know Smith wanted him, so that does change that dynamic.

I don't think it changes anything else though.

No QB, prob no Green.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
