Tepper built a soft team. Remember when we had an identity? A hard nosed team that played defense, especially the seven, and ran the ball? I miss it. I'm so over this soft ass finesse team built with 'athletes' that don't know how to play football.

He had some elite traits. The body, the arm talent, and a crazy good feel for the pocket and movement within it.

For the record, I wanted Richardson.

The sad thing is it's not going to even be worth it to tank with this team for two reasons. One being David Tepper is the owner and he can't keep his hands off the football side of the organization. Two, David Tepper's choice of General Manager will be a yes man that wants to please Tepper. The team is dead.

Not much talent left in the room. Well, I guess there's not much talent left period, we've been doing this for the last five years. The Panthers' fans underrate a talented player — remember the 'number 2' D.J. Moore? The fans call for them to be traded. The player is traded. The room is devoid of talent and the picks acquired are wasted. The fans then complain that the cupboard is bare. I feel like this just the Tepper way. The Panthers seem like they're being run by a short-sighted reactionary fan these days.

I'll never forgive the NFL for forcing a slob from Pittsburgh on us.

We cut one of those guys last year.

We could have just taken Colson instead of acquiring a new long snapper or whatever they'll take in the fifth is what's hurting me right now.

Tepper just love's his money balls RAS players.

I'll be honest, I wanted to stay put and take Colson. I don't know anything about Wallace.

People say this every single year. Every year I read this comment, usually 5-10 times on draft day.

Cool, we're back to Fitterering around. Or maybe it's just Tepper all along?

Lot of ILB and safeties on the board.

Okay, damn. Maybe a ILB, Safety, or if they like Sanders I guess.

I didn't really like the tight ends in the second. No one stood out to me.

Jerry looks so sad. The Brooks pick was so worth it.

I will say this. I like that I can see what they're doing or trying to do. It isn't painfully head-scratching like under Fitterer or even Gettleman at times.

I don't mind it, even though I've said year in and out that running back aren't good positional value. I did not watch anything on him this off-season and just read brief summaries so I cannot comment on how I think he'll do in this league. Having said that, our running back room is lowkey atrocious. All of our running backs are horrendous blockers and while they give effort, there's no one that's scaring a defense. If he lives up to his potential, great pick, regardless of positional value.

Makes sense if they really think he is HIM. Positional value isn't there anymore, but if they think he's blue chip, I get it.

Brooks or Wilson I guess?

Okay, a lot of players I don't care about are left. I think the Panthers could trade back to the top of the third and still get a highly rated player at a position that's not coveted. Wilson, Cooper, Brooks, maybe a safety.

I understand, but I just see a lot of value at 39 this year. It's why so many teams are trading up right now. Having said that, I can see what they're doing if they are targeting a position that isn't highly valued right now. Meaning running back, center, linebacker or safety. If so I get why they traded back.

Normally, I would say take this trade. The value is there, but this year the board was too good. Just too many players available that I would have been happy with at 33(32) that fell.

A David 'Money Balls' Tepper classic.

Yeah, I get that feeling. Right or wrong. If they take one they better know he is him.
