Info gathered from twitter since NFLN thought SF and the rookie QB class was more important.

Points he made-

Met with Gross twice already, will meet again after Combine

Big men win games

Pointed to specific needs at OL and secondary

Reiterates we will take BPA, doesn't believe in drafting for need

Steve Smith is part of the evaluation process

Hardy is a piece of the puzzle, they're still cap challenged.

I'll add more as I remember and will include links and such.

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 4m

Gettleman: I promise we are going to take best available in the draft.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 4m

Gettleman: Need to improve secondary and offensively -- mentioned OL depth.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 6m

Gettleman: "It's a big man's game. ... Big men win."

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers 9m

Gettleman's aim for roster is a mix of "wily veterans" and young players, and of course a quarterback. He reiterates Newton is the answer.

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers 11m

Gettleman: "We have to be thoughtful with what we do with every player, with every dollar."

Carolina Panthers ‏@Panthers 11m

Gettleman says Greg Hardy is "part of the puzzle" but reminds that team is cap-challenged. He'll soon find out if 2014 cap will be larger.

Joe Person ‏@josephperson 13m

Gettleman has had 2 lengthy conversations with Jordan Gross, who is in Idaho with his family and still mulling his future.

Jonathan Jones ‏@jjones9 13m

When asked about WRs, Gettleman immediately said any other WR is under contract. Didn't say anything about draft

I think Gettleman has done an outstanding job with the cap restraints we were faced with. Our RB current commitment obviously puts us in a bind and ties our hand on what we can do. Although the bright side to that is, D Will and J Stew are very good backs when used correctly. Of course, with J Stew, it's not just using him correctly, it's being able to use him at all. I'm on edge, every day, several times a day, surfing, looking for Carolina Panther info. Who stays, who goes, who comes in, etc...I have confidence in Gettlemen though.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
