For me, Fournette>Adams>Allen. Surely one of those three are there.

God I hope so man.  Fournette would make it move a little.

Next the Panthers can try to trade Graham Gano.

I guess we can say Kony Ealy is officially a bust now.

People are going to say we got fleeced in this but here's the truth. Kony wasn't making the team this year. He's in the final year of his contract too so good luck with that New England. 

This is a HUGE step for Gettleman imo. He's showing that he can admit to past mistakes. 

We have two second round picks now- smells like a move back into the first. 

 

you sir have got the right idea.  

Honestly at a glance unless NE turns ealy into a starter,  we won this trade

Don't know how I feel about this. Making a trade with the Pats makes me wary, they're prolly gonna turn Ealy into a stud. Pats 2nd round pick is also basically a 3rd round pick.

Ealy is a dud. He will be serviceable at best. We basically got that pick back to get a better player or move back in the first. Who cares what the Patriots do with him

They moved back 8 spots for our starting defensive end last year. Can't say that we are getting away with robbery here.

This has to be Gettleman admitting it didn't work out. I'm extremely surprised.

Adams and Ross/Howard in round one fellas.

This is what I'm thinking/hoping. Especially on the Ross front. We are lacking speed in a big way with the departure of Ginn. We obviously have interest with the scheduling of a private workout with him. We have to fill that void. 

 

I'd love this if it ended up happening.

We gave up our 3rd and Ealy to move up 8 picks.

Its comp pick but  really we are losing out on Ealy, I thought he would last another year to prove himself.

We definitely  need to pickup a younger DE in the mid round.

Our 2nd round pick and the NE 2nd round pick can be combined to move back into the first round for a better DE than Kony. Those two picks have the value of the #22 pick.

Not nearly as happy finding out it was our original 3rd instead of the comp 3rd.  Just to move up 8 spots and lose a starter.  No, I'm back to thinking Gettleman is incompetent.

Ealy isn't a starter.

So used to waiting for June cuts that I don't know how to react to the last 2 days...GMan working

So we didn't give them the comp pick? Smh.

Wow I had high hopes for Kony. 

 

[LinvilleGorge]

Not even mad. Obviously we decided that he wasn't going to make that next step. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good.
