Carolina Panthers select DT Vernon Butler

[Mr Mojo Risin]

Great pick. Any player we were going to draft wasn't going to start why not get some insurance along the dine especially in a good player like Butler.

[Toolbox]

Not in love with the pick but I trust DG knows what he's doing.. but literally nobody anywhere thought the panthers would pick this guy.

[CarolinaSamurai]

Rotation plus we love moving DTs and DEs from inside to outside and messing with offen heads. I love this pick.

Anyone watching us last year realized our d-line got gassed towards the end of games. Not anymore. Four starting-caliber DTs. Healthy Charles Johnson. Emerging Kony Ealy. QBs nightmare.

Our DEs played like they were gassed on the first snap most of the year

This pick was a money saving move. 

If you are suggesting we will let Short walk because we drafted Butler...you would be wrong.  Star, maybe, but Short will get an extension.  It's why we let Norman walk.

[ItsNotGonnaBeAlright]

Star and KK are officially on notice.

Dave don't play…no one is too big that they can't be replaced.  He is looking out for our future in case other contracts don't work out!  In Getts I trust.  A lot of upside to this kid and I welcome him….just like I was surprised but loved when we got LuUUUUUUke.

Rather go with a DE/ than a DT especially with FA signing. 

DE is more expendable. No shortage of good 4-3 ends. As long as we hold the middle our ends and linebackers have room to run.

Last year "TF why Shaq fug you Gettleman"

*Has an outstanding season*

This year pre-first round: "BPA I trust Gettleman with whatever he picks"

This year after: 'TF why Butler fug you Gettleman"

[OldNorthPowell]

Not a fan of the pick at all even after watching his highlights but Dave Gettleman knows A LOT MORE THAN ME. I will trust he knows what he is doing as he does I am sure.

[CRA]

 

Great pick. Any player we were going to draft wasn't going to start why not get some insurance along the dine especially in a good player like Butler.

DE had potential to start.  So could a DB

[Crazydounut]

I love it. Can play all 4 positions on the line. Athletic. Big. Huge wingspan like Peppers. High motor. Fantastic pick DG

[Rags]

Remember when we selected star and short in the same draft and people bitched

Remember when we selected Ealy after franchising Hardy and people bitched?

Big Vern!! The pass rusher struggled last year and we have tried to improve it. I cant knock it. Vern looks like he is gonna be a beast even if we are stacked at the position.
