Dan Graziano: Receivers aren't the issue in Carolina

[tiger7_88]

No dude, don't you know? They should have done MORE.

Seriously though, last year I asked people what else they would have done given the cap space we had to work with and the talent that was available to sign/draft, and no one could give me an alternative to what we put together. Not a single person. Just a bunch of bitching about "Gettleman sucks and should have signed/drafted someone better"... 

Who, dammit, who?!?!

I've repeatedly asked that question right here in this forum.

The inevitable answer you get is that its NOT THEIR JOB to come up with the answer, but they know that the answer just HAD to be different than the answer Gettledouche came up with!

As I said earlier, Humphries was one pick ahead of us so at that point I doubt it would have cost us a lot to go get him. Of course the Cards may not have wanted to do a trade anyways. 

This isn't a DG critique, it's merely answering the question of what else could he have done. Last year he said Bell was left handed, hopefully Oher doesn't turn out like Bell. 

It took adding our 3rd round pick to our 2nd rounder to move up to get St. Louis's pick to take Funchess.

Moving up in the 1st round is never cheap.  Not even to move up one spot.  So I imagine it would have taken at LEAST our 3rd rounder and maybe another pick in the lower round to move up to select Humphries.

So that would have meant missing out on Funchess.

Which group do you think would have a greater impact on the performance of the Panthers in 2015?  OT D.J. Humphries/WR Tyler Lockett/RB Javorius Allen (Lockett and Allen were "available" choices at our original positions in the 2nd and 4th rounds)?  Or LB Shaq Thompson/WR Devin Funchess/OT Daryl Williams?

When it comes to quality and BPA, I know which group I'd choose.
