I'm not buying this whole "blue goose" thing: Yes, I know that it sounds like a total contradiction from me when I decry the use of the term "smokescreen," but the idea of selecting any position at No. 28 just isn't sitting right. Sure it might be an old-school blue-collar football parlance for not getting blinded by need, but charming old guy saying or not, it doesn't sit right. The reason for this is fairly simple, the workouts. If the Panthers were really open to taking anyone in the first round we wouldn't have seen the overwhelming scouting of wide receivers, offensive tackles and cornerbacks in this class. Pair that with an early draft-week visit from Ryan Shazier and it all feels a little too neat and contrived. There's no better way to convince the world you're taking anyone than watching the wheels that have been set in motion, but it's a necessary move given there are two teams right behind Carolina.

I think Gettleman is being slightly disingenuous when he suggests BPA. What he means if there is a player whose value you can't ignore is there at 28 you take him. Doesn't mean if you have a DT who is a 23rd pick value and a WR who is 27th pick value you just take the DT because he is slighty better.

 

But id Calvin Pryor falls to 28 you run up and take him without hesitation.

 

Pure BPA makes no sense.

Dude, no one on knows what the fug will happen. The whole "panthers with do this or that" is silly. Rumors.

Even when we pick something, how will we even know if its BPA? We might have an idea of what a player is worth but we have no idea in hell what Gmans big board is. We could pick WR, and it could very well be a BPA pick.

Just let the chips fall where they may. These "scources" are full of sshit

I'm not as big a critic of Dator as some on here are, but his reasoning here is flawed.  It essentially breaks down to "I wouldn't do that, so I don't believe Gettleman will either".

 

Bryan Strickland wrote a very good explanation of how the whole 'BPA' philosophy works in his recent bit answering fan questions.

 

Draft strategy revolves around value

 

If you want a better understanding of the thinking behind our draft choices, take a few minutes and read.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      I realize we were down 24 points when the Carolina Panthers touched the ball  for the first and only time  in the 3rd quarter...and they went on a 14 play checkdown drive taking the exact plays the Cards wanted them too and gave them overall.  and now you got folks cherry picking random plays asking how could it be garbage time if the Cards weren't in prevent on a 3rd down short yardage play or on the goal.  all you got do to is just watch the game live on repeat and not listen to the announcers.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits.
