I'm pro Gman and clearly defend him against nonsense but....this is one of those show me don't tell me picks...a lot of us hated the Kug pick and we proved to be correct....this stinks of that same nonsense honestly.

Well, tbf, Kug never got a chance to prove himself because of injuries.

Bradberry picked off Nick Marshall in 2014. He was guarding Sammie Coates,. I thought he was a 3rd rounder but we must trust the Gman.

we took a UDFA CB... 

He was always projected to be a 3rd round DB, no idea where you're getting udfa from Fam

This is a surprise... not a name I can recall anyone here discussing or ever seeing associated with the Panthers.

It's clear his height must be a consideration.

so he is like 6 foot 3 or something?

All you armchair GMs who think you know better than our FO need a serious reality check. 

[Datawire]

Relax guys. He could have spent the 2nd on an elite kicker.

[IGSaint]

Honestly, he feels like a big reach but I trust Gettleman. I'm not going to sit here and act like I know more about prospects than him with his track record so far. 

[Shocker]

First big horrible pick wit

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

This dude is an athletic freak with great size for the position. Will take some time to develop but he fits our defensive scheme and can tackle. It was an anti-climactic pick and one I don't love but I'm just going to trust Dave and hope for the best. I don't think we need to rely on him to start day one.

Draft Countdown had him as late round/FA and we took him in the 2nd.

Getts has huge testacles.

Love it.

Meh, Dave could of drafted a second kicker in round 2 with our pick ....

and people would be saying "oh yeah! BPA! Dave has balls and trusted his board that this the kicker from San Antonio Tech Community College is the guy!  Love it.

Looks like Gettleman just choked that pick away, he was expecting to draft Bell and when he then went right before us, we were not prepared and just took someone they had stashed in their pocket as a late round guy we wanted to have.

Projected to be a fourth rounder at best and we take him in the second?

I'll never be convinced this was anything other than Gettleman not expecting the picks in front of us to fall that way and just took a guy he knew he wanted before the draft was over

That makes no sense at all. You think he just had one person in mind? Even if true, he would have picked their third round guy rather than a late round guy
