Really, they did. Have any of you?

The interwebz is such an easy place to throw out your two-penny opinions with NO REPROCUSSIONS. Sure, if you believe you are smarter or know more about 1) the health and structure of our team and 2) individual workouts, interviews and vast game tape of players in the this draft than the guys working and making decisions... well I don't even really know how to respond to that other than calling you a fool. That is all. A+ first round pick for our Carolina Panthers.

I agree that no one here knows enough to pretend that they know more than the FO but a lot of people called the Jarrett pick an A+ and there's no doubt that the staff did their due diligence before picking him. It looks like a great pick now but they aren't perfect and it could end up being a terrible pick when it's all said and done.

The debate isn't (for the most part) whether Kuechly is a great prospect or not. The debate is whether we should have gone for another position given our needs and current roster.

It's like me coming home to my wife with a sack of organic high quality potatoes that are potentially the best potatoes ever eaten by a person, and she responds with "well we've already got some two sacks of potatoes right here, and I sent you to store to buy butter jackass!"

People that are upset don't care how good a potato Kuechly is. They wanted some damn butter.

Really good potatoes and really good butter are even better together.

I understand people getting upset that we didn't pick a player that they wanted. But that is their opinion. They might as well ask your best friend what is best for your wife. He doesn't have any idea. Hell, his answer might not be favorable to you.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
