You know how much poo I got for this?  It's the same damn record, we just went into the playoffs on a tiebreaker.  Yay, we made the playoffs and got bounced while missing out on a generational draft pick!  Yippe!!!

That’s funny. I didn’t get much poo for what I said. 😂 I got no attention really on it until now. 
 

I am all for the playoffs but those other teams were just as good on the year as we were. A flukey hot streak finish by Atlanta, which was a hell of a job, is why we lost our way into the playoffs.  
 

I like to really earn it. It feels like you deserve it. And picking lower is worth it. 

The way we went in feels like they threw a bridal bouquet in the air and the girl they threw it to dropped it. Our clumsy ass had fallen to the floor lunging for it, it was dropped right into our hands. Elohel 

It does say a lot about the guys on the team that we showed up for that WC game. I guess that is our prize.

For me it would be like getting underwear at Christmas.  Sure you probably need it and it will be extremely useful but there is no wow factor.

Definitely not arguing with you.  Just my .02

I get it.  It would have to grow on you, but if we address a few needs in free agency, I could love it.

We were excited about Styles I think, in the moment. Already hyped from his interview following his meeting with Morgan, and he flat tears it up at the combine. Without going back to look, I think that was it.
And us wanting a LB. He started looking pretty good to me and we have no shot at him. That’s the context.

If he lasts if hes generational when making the playoffs was the best thing that happened to this franchise for near a decade 

"Making" the playoffs.  It felt more like a participation trophy.  If the NFL went away from the stupid division winners automatic bid and went strictly by best records (like most sports), the Panthers wouldn't have sniffed the playoffs in that scenario.

Rich Eisen said he's never in his 22-years at the Combine seen a prospect like Sonny Styles.  Also Bailey ran a 4.5 flat.  So my early two draft crushes are crushing the Combine and are now completely out of the Panthers reach.  Bailey might be a top 5 pick now.  Styles won't drop past the top 10.

I really prefer EDGE in FA than draft, but this man here is going to light up Sunday's for some team. Whoooo.

I've been confused for awhile why this guy is being considered a mid-round pick by virtually everyone. His measurables with 17 sacks over the past two seasons (8.5 in each) usually puts you at least in 1st round considerations and pretty much a lock to go in the 2nd.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
