How dumb of a pick would have Gettleman made if Star didn't fall into his lap?

claiming a draft is a failure on day 3 of the draft is about as dumb as saying an MLB team's season is over after season opener

For me its more of the positions he drafted rather than the players I mean do we really need more lbs/rbs when we could def use more talent at wr/db? Not to mention there were high potential guys still on the board that would have had a chance to contribute unlike the lber/rb we took hell even the guard we took is probably going to take some time to develop

Oh really? So justify drafting a 4th string linebacker, a 5th string running back, a 3rd string DT, and ANOTHER developmental OG that was supposed to be a UDFA. Please, I'm waiting.

Too bad we lost out on Harbaugh, their 4th round may be better then our entire draft.

Yep because smashndash with his 271 post on a fan forum knows better than an nfl GM do us a favor ban yourself.

The guard wasn't going UDFA. LMAO he was a 4th or 5th round pick. Stop reading just walterfootball. Kugbila has great potential and could be a good starter in a season or two. = Good pick in the 4th.

Klein is a depth pick, that's going to play ST right away. He can also play all three spots. Has potential to develop into a starter. = great pick in the 5th.

Barner is a Air back or scat back type of guy who has really good feet and agility, decent speed with solid hands. Adds an extra dimension to the offense that wasn't there before. = Good pick in the 6th round.

What I don't understand is how you can say that someone who has been in the business of scouting and assessing players longer than you have been alive has done a sub-par job with the draft. Oh ya, and you're making this bold statement without ever seeing any of these guys play(youtube videos don't count, bro). So why don't you step off the ledge, and see how these guys develop.

Oh ya, and lets not discount the fact that your original post is purely hypothetical and pointless. Because last time I checked, we were able to land Star.

I love my team, but damn I hate you dumbass fans.

Do you really think your insignificant, worthless asses know how to evaluate a player for the NFL better than our GM?

NFL GMs make stupid clueless moves all the time. Look at Hurney. Look at the Raiders.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
