Why this draft was a success

We will actually have all our draft picks next year. It was really hard seeing New England take our second round draft pick at the very top of the round.

I really don't know anything about our draft picks outside of Cam Newton and while I'm not sure about Newtons accuracy or his game knowledge/intelligence I will say it appears he has a good mindset and attitude which is the most important step to becoming the leader of this football team.

I got us coming in last in the South again with a 7-9, 8-8 record if we are lucky so I'm glad we will have all our draft picks next year since they all should be very valuable.

I could see that happening too, Swordcat. Despite their record (which I've said numerous times was inflated by feasting on a cupcake schedule, same thing as TB) they weren't dominant or anything last year. The Steelers beat them without their supposedly "elite" QB.

I'm not a guy who really knows a lot about college football, so I can't really speak to the potential of the guys we picked up in later rounds, but...

But I get the impression we had a game plan and we've stuck to it based on the things Rivera has said to the press.

And that leads me to believe that either:

A) Hurney, Rivera, (and Richardson?) are on the same wavelength for now, making running the franchise a smoother process

or

B) It's part of Rivera's (perhaps unpublicized) agreement with the franchise to get what he needs to run this team without TOO much interference.

...or both.

In any event, I'm encouraged about the future. It seems like there's a plan and some order to things. I don't know if I ever really got that impression during Fox's tenure.

As for a random note, its going to be really interesting to see if Armanti Edwards does well as a receiver next year. I read in another thread that someone said he was putting on some muscle, so that's good...I have no earthly clue how good he is catching and running the football, but I guess we'll see this coming season! If he turns out to be good, everyone can finally stop bitching about that second rounder lol.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
