Now open for discussion -> The Gettleman Presser Thread

[PntherPryd]

It's been a long time since I was in school but just watching G-man made me think back to that feeling I had (once or twice) of feeling totally prepared for the big exam and confident that I was going to nail it.

I did think it was interesting what he said about taking players with previous injuries.  Definitely says Gurley and Ogbuehi are very much in play.

[Jeremy Igo]

Dont think we take DGB

 

 

Of course not. You would be silly to think we would. 

[Udogg]

Hard to believe we take a wide out that early. In fact, after listening to that if Gurley is still there, he's our guy

 

Don't think he will make it to us.  I definitely don't think he will make it past Arizona.

[gmonjimbo]

Seems like we will be selecting between Todd Gurley or a DE in the first round. He seemed really comfortable about the depth at WR and OT, and will be leaning on addressing those positions in the later round. BTW, after his comments about players with character concerns, I can finally put to rest that DGB will not be drafted by the Panthers in any round. 

[KSpan]

I think from what he said and how he said it, you can rule out anyone with dom vio past. So no DGB. However, weed on the other hand he intimated that could be mitigated...depends on how good he is I'm guessing. But DV in your past? He won't put a cat on your hat.

 

I'd  say that the weed thing is probably more an overall character decision than talent.  Frank, for example, is a player with upside but I don't think the team would have hung on to him unless they were convinced of the circumstances behind the issue and that he could fix it.  They aren't going to take a talented guy who just doesn't care... goes back to the "ticking time bomb" statement from the last conference.

Don't think he will make it to us.  I definitely don't think he will make it past Arizona.

But maybe the whole presser was a smokescreen. Maybe he's a master troll?

I saw what u did there DG

[Cary Kollins]

Gotta love listening to Gman spit knowledge. Love him or hate him (if you're an idiot), Gettleman knows more about football than everyone on this board combined.

 

 

My biggest takeaways from the presser: expect the Panthers to trade up, guys with obvious character issues will not be in that locker room, if we land a LT it'll be in the first round

[Jmac]

Love that guy (not in a gay way). He has given this team the balls and chutzpah it needed. I have total faith in his ability to find the best talent in this draft. Not afraid to do what needs to be done in regards to personal. I believe he has learned by any past mistakes and will not repeat them. Getting stronger every step of the way.

[top dawg]

Thanks, Jer.

[SIGCHI222]

The face DG made when Todd Gurley's name was brought up...

[chknwing]

Get ready to move up in the 3rd round and take Garret Grayson. 

[Mr. Scot]

Of course not. You would be silly to think we would. 

 

Agreed.

 

It was pretty unlikely before, but you'd have to be an idiot to watch that presser and still think it's possible.
