Who Were We Targeting In The 3Rd Round?

There was a lot of talk during the 2nd round about trading up to get into the 3rd Round. We were unsuccessful, but who were we targeting? Joe Adams? Frank Alexander? Someone else? Would it have been a same scenario trade, such as next year's 2nd, plus a later round this year?

I've been wondering about this because if it was one of the same players we picked up in the 4th, this could've ended badly. Makes me a little nervous, but I'm not sure what the plan was.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I thought the team was going to do something with the Dolphins. But I don't know who was on the radar. They take what everyone thought was the obvious need in the 4th. That muddies the water for me on how they were valuing each round.

Hurney was said to be visibly upset all night Friday night. Moping around the stadium, kicking trash cans, slapping walls. He really was hoping to give away our 2nd rounder next year. I bet he wanted to get Anger

Where did you hear this?

Hurney's tendency to trade next year's pick is self perpetuating.

If he would just bite the bullet for one year he would have the pick without trading away our future. Marty, just stop already!

What make this worse is to watch well managed teams stockpile picks while we give ours away for questionable talent.

On a video posted on Panther.com Hurney said that they were trying to trade up into the 3rd for Alexander because they really liked him but thought he would be gone early in the 3rd. When they found out he wasn't going in the 3rd they changed their approach to getting two 4ths to get both Adams and Alexander.

Don't have a link as I have the Panthers iPhone app on my phone. Sorry.

come on guys........................it's coach speak.

Do you really think the Panthers wanted the headlines in the paper to read..........

"Panthers try to trade up in the 3rd for so and so but settle for Alexander in the 4th" ??

they always say who they got is who they were targeting.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.

      I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.

      You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
