Wtf if one player made you change your whole philosophy, you should have kept him

DG has gone in full Homer Simpson mode the past month

Neither one of these CB's are Normans immediate replacement.  They are future projects. Drafting them does not fill a need at CB currently.  Its going to be difficult for both to make the 53 man roster. Kinda crazy to draft 2 players in the 2nd/3rd that may not make the roster and end up on the practice squad.

Nice info.  Thanks for posting that.  Definitely could explain a lot.

I really like Daryl Worley, don't see the problem with the pick.

You have lost your mind if you think we squad a 2 or 3 round pick. Wtf is wrong with you

Since the Panthers drafted 2/3s of the long-armed, athletic CBs, perhaps we are the team referenced above? And perhaps our coaches and scouts believe that for our system, this length in combination with ball-skills, makes these guys much more valuable to us than they might be for some other teams (but not all other teams). For example, I noticed some Seahawk-specific scouting reports featuring Bradberry. They use a similar system to us. Even though the broader league may not prioritize these measurables, it's obvious Gettleman believed at least one other team would snatch these guys up if we didn't. Not saying I love or hate the picks. Time will tell. But thought this information helped explain why two relatively unheralded players were picked early and within just a few picks of one another.

Interesting find. I would say the evidence is pretty strong we are that team, given how much we reached to draft them. 

Worley and Bradberry both measure at 33.425 inches.

Both these guys will be active on game day along with Bene and Boykin

I sure do hope so. I think these corners has potential to play well and early if our defensive line can get to the QB.

He followed up that quote saying "I promise you, we didn't reach."

Context is an amazing thing.

The fact that this thread is a who's who of huddle poo posting is a relief.

Worley is no where close to being Hogan.
