1st. The biggest guy at your greatest area of need - KB, Star

2nd. BPA at a position where there is little to no need - didn't need a DE, had just drafted a DT in the previous round

3rd-4th. A Guard (other spot on a guy with local ties) - Turner, Kugzilla, Boston (UNC), Greg Olson (went to college with Beason, played for Chud)

5th. ST/defensive backup - the CB we drafted today (don't remember his name at the moment), Klein

6th. A RB from the northwest - Stanford kid, Barner

Using this formula it shouldn't be too hard to figure out our draft so there's less shock and hurt vaginas next year.

We are not going to draft any more RB's so you can scratch that off your formula. Gaffney, Barner, Tolbert are the future, Stewart if he takes a paycut and is healthy. Williams is gone. 

 

Another important piece of information you did not add in the formula. "Have talent drop to your lap."

I don't see how both Gaffney and Barner make the 53 man roster this year.  Maybe we try to stash Gaffney on the practice squad, I don't know.  I think it's more likely that we've simply admitted that Barner was a mistake and moved on.  I don't see either DeAngelo or Stewart going anywhere this year.  I think DeAngelo will become a cap casualty next offseason and then Steward will follow him out the door the following offseason.

This can be simplified a lot (Gett's Draft Strategy):

    1)    BPA (which will be a big guy, b/c he loves them & that's how he sets his board).

    1a)  Top pick (only) is influenced by area of need, but I would not always count on that.  The gapping holes we had before he

            got here should naturally be filled between Re-Signing our own guys, FA & Drafting BPA.  Then it will simply be BPA all

            day.

I don't think drafting Gaffney is admitting Barner was a mistake

I think Barner and Gaffney show what a mistake Double Trouble are. Carolina is starting to slowly build a RB committee the right way.....and soon Double Trouble will be pushed aside for them to be our backfield.

that's funny.Gaffney and Barner are just the beginning of a revolving door of lesser players who will cycle through . Get used to it.

It was all shits and giggles folks. I don't honestly think Gettleman will draft this way every time....just noticed some correlations and thought we could use some levity around here.....

you did a fine job with it, even though nobody was in the mood to "levitate" LoL!

      Not Groundbreaking Vid analysis, but I can dig it

      Yeah the thing about DJ and his production was that he played in a scheme that either rushed 6 or rushed 3. Almost nothing in between.  So he's either 1 on 1 or a free rusher OR he's not rushing at all.  That said, he cost very little compared to Burns with basically the same output.

      There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.

      seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
