Panthers trade up to 9th pick of second round - select Devin Funchess

[Davidson Deac II]

I don't like giving up the 3rd, but maybe DG knew he wouldn't fall far enough? 

 

 

Either way, two huge WRs now, Ginn and Philly will have to do for stretching the field. 

 

His speed might be as good or slightly better than Brown's.  His combine 40 time was slow, but it picked up somewhat later at Michigan's pro day.

REALLY hope Gettleman tries trading back up now.

 

I don't know if our 4th and 5th will be enough, but getting back into the end of the 3rd tonight would be huge IMO.  Do that, role the dice with our 2 fifth round comps, and get to work on UDFAs

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

terrible trade. still no o-line help. gettleman spent like 10 minutes saying how deep this receiver class is, and then he gives up a 3rd rounder? we got skullfuged.

[millsous]

I like the idea of having KB, DF, Olsen and Hill on the field at the same time.

[MtnJax]

He has never had a real QB.

 

 

This is the damn truth. Gardner was quadruple hot garbage. Funchess could flourish with Cam

[PantherBrew]

That was a lot to give up.

I think I miss non-reaching gettleman, lol.

I would've thought strong would come off the board before funchess did.

We apparently just don't see football the same. We still have the slowest receiving corps in the NFL. I just don't get it.

I like you as a poster.

But it seems you are being super nit picky. Anyone who isn't on your list. You are negative about. Refusing to see the positives.

I understand you have a lot of issue with the FO but you seems to be hyper critical and sometimes it seems forced.

[Growl]

@JasonLaCanfora: CAR moved into the Rams spot to take TE/WR Devin Funchess. Lot of teams panned CAR pick Thur and scouts I trust didn't like him either...

[chknwing]

How? all we gave up was a 3rd and 6th. We still our 2nd, a 4th, couple of 5ths, and a 7th IIRC. 

 

no we dont have our 2nd

[Killa Cam 69]

I like it but hopefully we can get back in the third.. I wonder what it would take

[The Lobo]

What did we give up.  I was pooping and missed everything.

[juliosantos]

GETTLE IS THE MAN!!!!!  great pick now we have another big target for cam i think he can be another benji 

[section543]

It was a lot to give up. Think he might have been available at 57

[CarolinaNCSU]

Side note as well IMO...

 

 

The moves we're making, to me, are directly designed to beat Seattle. How do we go after their secondary? Tall ass WRs. How do we stop Graham/their TEs which killed us? Shaq. 

[PanthersUnited]

Love it!! Would have preferred Strong but can definatley live with Funchess. If a conservative GM like Gettleman who is so anti trade gave up all that for Funchess then this kid has to be special.
