Double Dip Drafting

If you went back and read the boards from this past April, you'd find a lot of people who were apoplectic after our second round pick was announced.

Fans were in utter disbelief when GM Dave Gettleman "double dipped" by taking another defensive tackle (Kawann Short) in the second round after drafting DT Star Lotulelei in the first.

Fast foward to today though, and people generally aren't so that said about that. Especially not after seeing Kawann make a critical play on Monday night by forcing a fumble from Patriots running back Stevan Ridley.

So let's suppose Gettleman were to apply that strategy again in this year's draft.

What position would you want to see "double dipped" this time?

Offensive line

Wide Receiver

Cornerback

Based on how our team is built I wouldn't be mad if Gettleman went O-line or wide receiver twice....

I am confident that if Gettleman went that route the picks would be the highest rated players on his board. I am also confident he would address the other needs in the latter rounds or through the second tier of free agency.

'Doubling dipping' isn't what I did not like. It was more for the fact we had to double dip. We had to because of the FO's imcomepetence in their last, double dip, for the same position, Fua and Mcclain. So it was more like a quad dip, which is unacceptable. The fact we have a hole so big on our team that double dipping helped us so immesley just highlighted the incompetence to me. No position should be that desperate where this has to be done. I'd prefer to take what we need while also being able to build for the future, take BPA players no matter the position, and have the luxury of taking chances on players with very high upsides, given the team can actually develop a project type player and no, I don't mean players like AE when I say project. Projects have very high natural upsides, not a position change on a local hero/disaster.

 

Had we just had one DT turn out when we drafted them, we could have Star and had one of the many good LTs that came out and started building for Gross to be gone. What scares me is there is no future oline on our team besides Amini and no future at all at WR either. Ginn shows promise but I think a drafted WR to go with Cam, that has more natural potential would be ideal.

Up between "OL" and "WR".

 

Definitely WR since that's probably our weakest position right now, but as of right now we wont likely find any top tier receivers that late in the draft. Unless a guy like Jordan Matthews move up his stock. So it'd probably make more sense doubling up on OL.

 

I'm a huge fan of the corner class next year (Verrett), but I believe we can fill that through FA. Love Alterraun Verner.

      Is Chris Brazzell just another DJ Chark?

      By blueandblackattack · Posted

      I was checking out Chris Brazzell II measureables, and I thought they looked suspiciously familiar. Turns out it was true, almost identical measureables to former Panthers DJ Chark circa 2023. I even checked Terrace Marshall Jr results, and honestly isn't that far behind them.   I know this isn't unique for just our team, but we seem to specifically have an obsession with trying to make this tall lanky speedsters work for us. I admittedly wasn't that high on Brazzell, and when I watched the tape I didn't really see that 4.3 speed, and a strong wind seems to tackle him.   I really liked most of the draft, including getting Hecht in the 5th when I graded him as a #1 Center in this draft. I'm rooting for the guy to work out, especially since our HC and OC made their bones as Wide Receiver coaches. But Brazzell is the only one I'm kinda meh on. I was hoping we'd trade up to get Big Citrus, or if we went WR I liked Ted Hurst much better. We'll see though. 3rd rounders seem to be coin-flips for us (see DJ Johnson/Matt Corral). But I'm rooting for the guy and for this experiment to finally pay off.   I haven't seen anyone else post something about this, so just thought it was interesting and passing it along.   #keeppounding   -------------------------------------------------------------- AI Overview   Chris Brazzell II and D.J. Chark both possess nearly identical elite deep-threat profiles, highlighted by their tall, lanky builds and blazing sub-4.40 speed. Chark was slightly faster, while Brazzell offers a marginally heavier frame and longer wingspan. [1, 2, 3, 4] The side-by-side physical and athletic testing results from their respective NFL Scouting Combines outline their comparable profiles: [1] Metric [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] D.J. Chark (2018) Chris Brazzell II (2026) Height 6'3" 6'4" Weight 199 lbs 198 lbs Wingspan 78.5" 80.1" 40-Yard Dash 4.34 seconds 4.37 seconds 10-Yard Split ~1.50s (est.) 1.52 seconds Vertical Jump 40.0" 40.0" (pre-draft) Hand Size 9.25" 9.0" Analytical Comparison Size & Build: Both receivers offer an excellent catch radius with lanky, outside-threat frames. Brazzell holds a slight edge in height and an even more significant advantage in wingspan, giving him a massive target radius. Speed Profile: Chark famously recorded the fastest 40-yard dash time at his combine, while Brazzell was a standout at his event. Both times are elite for their size, translating directly to the "field-stretching" and vertical playmaking abilities that define their games. Draft Status: Chark was selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second round (61st overall) of the 2018 Draft. Brazzell was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the third round (83rd overall) of the 2026 NFL Draft.

      I still reserve my right to bitch about how incompetent the Panthers are at running a football organization and point to the mountains of evidence in support.
