Gettlemen led us to believe we would draft 2 immediate starters

WHat does it say about the talent level of the team when a GM can say he will get 2 starters from a draft with no top 10 pick?

Nothing.  Every team in the league has at least 2 roster spots in the starting rotation on the field at any time that could be elevated through the draft.  This team does not lack overall talent and you know that.

Pick the top 10 teams in the league and tell me which ones will be starting their second rounder

Several teams, possibly.  

 

1. Bengals - Giovanni Bernard

2. 49ers - Tank Carradine and Vance McDonald (depends if you consider a 2nd TE a starter, but they ran the 2TE set a lot with Walker)

3. Ravens - Arthur Brown (depends on McClain but I think Brown wins)  

4. Packers - Eddie Lacy

 

 

Our talent level isn't dramatically worse than other teams just because we would start two draft picks.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • 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.
