2013 Draft Picks

EDIT: A lot of reports were saying that Jones was for a 2013 7th while what the trade for Murphy was wasn't officially disclosed. Murphy came at the cost of a 2013 7th round pick while Jones was for a 7th round pick. The team still has all of their 2013 picks aside from a 3rd (traded for Alexander) and 7th (traded for Murphy). Thanks Kurb!

The San Francisco 49ers are now in possession of Carolina's 3rd & 7th round picks for the 2013 draft. The 3rd was traded in order to draft Frank Alexander, while the 7th was sent for Colin Jones (whom the Panthers apparently have had their eye on since the last draft).

Louis Murphy came at the cost of a 4th or 5th round selection.

This leaves the team with a 1st, 2nd, 4th OR 5th, and a 6th round pick.

Do you think that this is a sign that the coaching staff likes what they're working with? Is this another reason that you hate The Hurney Badger? I don't see the team being able to trade up with the lack of ammunition, which makes me wonder if they're looking to trade one of the vets as the season goes on, or when the draft comes around. Obviously the draft is a ways off, so there isn't any reason to panic (but don't let that stop you!), but it does pose a few interesting questions.

I thought about posting this thread but choose not to because I felt it was too early and it is, but since it's here; I would say that Rivera and staff are comfortable with the players we have and feel that we only need a few upgrades.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
