The Cats did it last year and went 12-4. If we pull off an 11-5 or 10-6 this year I'll be ecstatic but there is so much qb talent coming out next spring I hate the thought of us not having a first rounder.

Fox and Hurney are going for the 'win now' approach and I like that! :cool:

It's hard to sign 1st rounders when you're out of cash. So trading a 1st rounder for a second who should have been a first when you got no cash is probably a better choice than what you ate for dinner last night... :lol:

Brown is going to be a good player for us someday. The question is how soon. Personally I would like him to get situational work rushing the passer and gaining experience until he can learn enough to get more playing time. That way we don't rush him and he is ready to play next year which will be when we are likely to need him.

It would be a bonus to get good playing time out of him this year but that happens so rarely in the NFl. Particularly in the first half of the season. It is rare for a defensive rookie linemen to have any impact. For us the last one was Peppers as a rookie. Of course that was the last time we chose a defensive linemen with our top pick.

I think it is very optimistic to think Brown will start and have an impact. At best he comes in and suprises everyone. At worse he sits the bench and gains practice experience for next year. D limemen usually need a few years to become dominant in the league.

For those thinking that first round picks aren't a big deal to lose because not all of them pan out, take our last four first round picks off the team and see how we do. Answer: 2-14.

Losing a first rounder is crippling to your future, but only if you trade them away for players that can't help you. If and it's a big one, Carolina gets Brown to develop into a starting DE then this trade will be at least passable. If they do not, then they blew a first rounder.

I have to admit though, it does take a little steam out of draft day every year when Carolina trades out of their pick.

I think Hurney expects Pep to have another blow up year, then tag him again- THEN GET the high draft pick trades we wanted.

That or Julius will get his head out of his ass and want to stay here after realizing how good he's got it and then sign a new contract so he doesnt count 20 MILLION against the cap.

20 million= CRAZY or 5 GOOD FA's

I wouldnt be surprised to see Stewart traded for a #1 pick if Goodson or Lee makes a big impression this season.

I know its not a popular idea, but when you have this type of talent and depth, someone is the odd man out with the team being the one who makes out.

Now if DeAngelo slides in production I say the same for him as well.

We are just very deep in the "skilled" positions and this is a business.

I have a feeling Hurney will find some way to get our #1 back...... .02

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
