I see Gettleman going best player of need on the board at the draft. Star slid down due to health concerns. We picked him due to our scouts doing their job and a huge need on the d-line. If a WR is there and he doesn't see an O-line player of equal value he will go with the best talent. I really think he works a deal for Nicks and goes O-line wiht the first two rounds. We also have and extra pick from the Giants on the Beason trade. Maybe give it back to the Giants

and some Booty for Nicks.

 

If he gets Nicks for a fair deal then I'll be thrilled. First round we grab a LT, and then move Gross to RT. That would be it for what we need on the o-line. Remember we have RG Williams, RG Kigbila, and LG Amini coming back next season, and we can sign Gross for another season for cheap. Also if Wharton continues to play well, then we can offer him another one year contract to back up Amini at LG.

 

Second round we can turn our attention to WR, DB, or whichever player is highest on our board.

how are we going to sign Gross cheap?

 

HIs restructure signals he is done.   I would also imagine a new coaching staff would turn off a guy off on the brink like Gross.

Name the last top tier #1 WR that wasn't ready to be a #1 by his sophomore season.

 

Football in general is changing, the development stage isn't as long as it was years ago.  Players of all positions come in more ready 

 

Do you mean first round WR?  There are many.

I prefer a free agent WR (we will need more than one) and a developmental WR in the second.  That way, you don't have to wait another year.

If you need a LT and pass on one for a WR, you are making a mistake.

We could be picking 1 or we could be picking 32.  Wherever we pick, it needs to be BPA.  If positions grade out somewhat equally, I say OT, WR, TE in that order.  Jake Matthews would be a dream, but to get there it would likely mean more miserable episodes of ****ing the bed over the next 11 games.  A playoff run would be nice and let the chips fall where they may.

Yes sign him on the cheap, or not at all.

 

Gross is done? I wish a journalist would ask him if he might want to come back for another season.

I mean legit NFL player, that is a #1 in the NFL.  Name the last one that took 3 years to turn into a guy ready for the role.  

 

Roleplaying WRs generally are the ones that take time to develop.  Studs tend to studs in today's NFL IMO

OT is my desired position. Still would like to solidify our CB position. And WR.

But at WR I don't want some speed demon. Of course speed is always welcome, but we need a hands guy. A guy who can use his body and catches everything.

If he has speed also great, but we keep wiffing on these fast WRs like Adams and Pilares, I just want that guy who is big and will go get the ball in traffic.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
