I'm sorry for the bland presentation, but I'm getting ready for work and wanted to get this down before the combine :D

1st - Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama

2nd - Markelle Martin, FS, Oklahoma State

3rd - Traded to cHI for TE Gregg Olsen

4th - Keenan Robinson, OLB, Texas

5th - Nate Potter, OL, Boise State

6th - Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma

7th - Bryan Anger, P, California

(I'll update this to be all pretty and explainified when I get time)

Im gunna change your user name to Bob soon...

My reasoning for not drafting any dline has more to do with my draft philosophy (if you can call it that). My main goal is to get immediate starters out of the first two rounds with 3rd/4th rounders being development guys who can rotate in. 5th, 6th, and 7th from that point on are to fill needs and make value picks.

With that said, Ron Edwards will be one of the starting DT's next season. McClain and Fua will both be coming back with an actual offseason under the belts to go with their year of NFL experience. Jason Shirley showed good potential, and I'm all about some Andre Neblett. The DT position was addressed last season and I'd like to see how the two 3rd rounders develop before casting them aside.

Also, Darius Butler is going to cost over $700k to keep around. He didn't outright take the spot from Captain, which leads me to believe that both him and Josh Thompson/Thomas? will be gone next season. Janoris Jenkins is the best cover corner in the draft and could start immediately with Hogan competing for the #2 or 3 spot with either Jenkins or Munnerlyn. We play against the Falcons who have Roddy White and Julio Jones twice a year, we play the Saints who have Drew Brees twice a year, and we play the Bucs who... well... we play the Bucs twice a year also. :D

As far as DE is concerned, Greg Hardy did awful vs. the run but he was also a 5th round steal in his 1st full season as a starter. I don't think he did too bad considering what we going on all around him. Thomas Keiser also stepped up, and Charles Johnson is getting paid. I would love for Applewhite to stay, but if he can get paid more to play more I would be more than understanding.

tldr; I'd like to see how our two draft picks step up as opposed to just throwing more poo at the wall until something sticks. CB lacks depth and talent and in a passing league with one of the best QBs in the league in the Panthers division it seems to be the smarter pick (imo).

I don't see the point of trading down 3-4 spots to take the best cover corner in the draft at #9 overall. If somebody is willing to, sure, but trades don't simply happen because one team would like to get somebody at the right # in the draft order.

    • Poverty franchise behavior.  If you don't like him as a 3rd rounder then why'd you draft him there?  As others have said, they likely found out some new information and have buyer's remorse. Our FO didn't give DJ Johnson a hard time for being a bad pick.
    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in a old building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way in efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
