6th Round - Carolina selects RB Tyler Gaffney, Stanford

[TheRumGone]

we picked a RB that runs into his blockers and can't pass protect

neato

 

???

 

where did you read that? i've read the opposite

[tailg8or]

Dumbest pick of the draft.

 

Possibly ... but the Boston pick has it beat.  Disappointing draft.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

i just read on youtube dude rushed for 329 yards and 5 tds in the high school state championship game his senior year. lol

Yeah, but his high school team had a good offensive line most likely.

[JawnyBlaze]

I actually from a very early point wanted Marion Grice with a late pick, so I guess I'm ok with this pick since he was gone.  All I can really do about it is laugh though.

[Catalyst]

would a 6th round OT really have made you guys feel better about the line?

 

This.This.This.This.This.This.This.This.This.This.This.

[LinvilleGorge]

Just gonna have to trust Gettleman. I was scratching my head last year with the Short, Kugbila, and Klein picks. A year later and 2 of those 3 look like pretty damn good picks. Hopefully that repeats itself.

This pack relates to out current de problem...overpaid running backs that have to go soon...filling a future need when our now needs can't be filled with whats left...nuttin but scraps at tackle and corner...yeah we could draft another we but do we really need it

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Yep. And getting a guy with little risk who may be able to help unload bad contracts in the future is how you build championship teams. So people complaining that we didn't draft guys with busted needs to fill a "need" can piss off

Key word is "in the future"

It does nothing for us this year. You can't go into the season with six backs on the roster (Williams, Stewart, Barner, Gaffney, Tolbert, and Brockel).

[TheRumGone]

Yeah, but his high school team had a good offensive line most likely.

 

it was just an FF (fun fact)

[Carl Spackler]

I'm not even mad at this pick so much as I am just amused.

[TylerVagyler]

I cannot wait to get rid of the Delo and Stew contracts.

[MadHatter]

Love this pick....if for nothing more than watching you guys lose your minds

You are right. Key word is future

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Your backfield should be made up of guys like him....and Barner.

Now we need to start parting with these uber expensive RBs. Williams needs to go. Stewart we are stuck with

Someone pointed out that if you cut Williams that you are on the hook for 4 mil next year. I have a hard time seeing Williams getting cut.

On top of that Stew is always hurt meaning that Gaffney would probably have to start.
