It's a really good haul. 

Had been flirting with both these OLBs in eval but never thought we'd end up with both. 

Just thought we could land 1 like them if we went DT/Walker/TE/WR high.  The Athletic Football show discussed Scourton before round 1 -- how he was the perfect type of target for Philly at the end of R1 who could develop into a monster.  Not to mention people were eyeing him since before the 2024 season thinking he would be a top-10 overall guy, but then got shoved into a containment role.

Value wise, feel like we got a 1st round talent at 51 and a solid solid 2nd with Princely at 77.

I sure hope they're right. But it's also worth noting that our head analytics guy is the former head analytics guy at PFF so our moves are always going to have a high chance of being viewed well by PFF. We're probably using a lot of the same metrics.

Didn’t realize this. That makes sense.

I dont agree that tmac was bpa so I guess we're both right

I'm not saying that T-Mac was for many people, but he was for many people, including Dan the man. It's all a part of it. I was once labeled the "Wide Receiver Extremist," so admittedly I may not be the most objective, but I love the pick. I think that we can agree that we all can learn to love why Dan made it.

Pass rush needed an upgrade, so both picks on day two went there.

Day one pick went towards finding a possible WR1 to pair with our other possible WR1, except this one is a natural hands catcher that wins with size while the other one wins with size and speed but doesn't have natural hands.

Well, I've always said this: PFF provides a lot of value pertaining to how they grade players. It's not perfect, but they can usually separate the wheat from the chaff. It's the other things that they do--all the rankings--that are more subjective in nature, and that seem to cause the most controversy among fans.

Well if you give it your stamp of approval, then I feel better (not that I feel bad about days one and two), and I'm not even being facetious. 

Now tell me what you (really) think of Nalo.

Well then every team takes BPA and you can't argue otherwise

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
