Remember when in the second round, there was NO talent as good as what is on our team?

[The Huddler]

I dont think superbowl was in the plans. This feels a lot like the rebuilt did with the bobcats a few ago

[Khaki Lackey]

lol what a fail, moses has been absolutely fuggin horrible so far

you guys really want to spend a 2nd rounder on a byron bell clone just to say welp at least we did SOMETHING right guys

lol

That's pretty much the sentiment around here. There are already people talking about taking a LT in the first round no matter what. It could be a total bum, as long as it looks like we did something.

[Mage]

Morgan Moses did play 1 game for the Redskins due to injury I think.

 

He got abused.

[rayzor]

it would be pretty hard to be worse than bell and/or chandler.

32 teams passed on both our starting OTs....for 7 rounds. name another team who has ever been able to say that.

[rayzor]

oh...and how would we have paid for it? aside from the not franchising hardy idea that i didn't like from the beginning, i will just say that if it's important enough for a team, they will find a way to do it. if the need is great enough, they will find a way to make it happen. we didn't.

[FugginPoo]

Gettleman doesn't care about OL, he only cares about DL

[Mr. Scot]

Being the betting man that I am. 

 

I would wager every last dime I had on Moses not being worse than Bell. 

 

It is pretty hard to be worse than Bell. 

 

If I'm going to spend a second round pick on a guy, I'm gonna need a whole lot better reason than "well at least he's not quite as bad as Byron Bell".

Well, to be fair, the offensive linemen we have drafted in rounds 2-4 the last couple of years are all turning out to be bums so I'm fairly confident that whoever we would have decided to draft would have been a bum as well.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

come on, someone say that we should have drafted hurst or seantrel henderson.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Ealy will be moved to offensive tackle soon enough since he is a waste on the DL.

 

Screw best available player in the draft when you are horrible at finding talent to begin with.

 

Should have just loaded up on the deepest talent positions in the draft that fit the Panthers needs like many fans wanted.

 

Kelvin Benjamin WR, Allen Robinson WR, Martavis Bryant WR, Corey Linsley OG, Zach Fulton OG, Seantrel Henderson OT, and James Hurst OT.

 

Ealy and Turner were not top 3 round talent. Bene, Boston, and Gaffney were not more important than OL depth and potential starters. This entire draft needed to be dedicated to loading up around Cam, Olsen, Stewart, Williams, and Tolbert. And move Chandler back to OG. That is where he will succeed. Gettleman set this team up for failure. And Rivera has given this team his personality. The head coach was sulking on the sidelines almost all game.

 

Ealy has shown a lot of promise and is not a waste of a pick.  Will be a good DE for this team.  Drafting in hindsight always helps.  Ridiculous.

going after ealy here is puzzling

 

yeah i mean maybe he wasn't the absolute perfect pick in that round but he's shown the kind of flashes you want to see out of a rookie DE

We drafted Trai Turner in the 3rd round.

 

[tondi]

We drafted Trai Turner in the 3rd round.

 

 

I guess the jury is still out on him but if he can't stay on the field he isnt helping much.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

norwell has genuinely not looked like a rookie and turner was playing well before he was injured.  the interior of the line is probably alright as-is which makes what needs fixing easier to focus on.
