With this being a deep draft and Gettleman's history of success

[dcpanther89]

I'm all giddy inside with joy waiting for the last week in April. Just imagine what he could get out of this draft let alone UDFA.

 

My only concern is he's been playing his hand very well since he came to the Panthers, I wonder when his luck may run out.

Good hands play themselves, good players make medium hands winners....

Luck only has so much to do with it, skill gets you much further...

A couple of pretty key misses in Ealy and Funchess though. That trade up for Funchess hurt. Still too early to call him a flat out bust, but it's certainly looking that way.

DG has had about as many misses as hits and last offseason as a whole was one of, if not, the worst in Panthers history. So idk where this is coming from.

Some of you have a very low standard when it comes to defining "success"

[Marguide]

Every GM has hits and misses. So stop with the trading up and putting all your eggs in a few baskets. Spread the risks out.

I went back and looked and most draft picks were guys i've never heard of since. With Gettleman you get (typically) two starters, a solid backup and then well not much. 

 

2013
Star, Short, Klein

2014

Benjamin, Turner, Boston, Ealy (sorta)

2015

Shaq, Daryl Williams, Funch(?) 

2016

Butler (injury), Bradberry, Worley

He usually does very good if the picks are in rounds 1-3 after that almost nothing. So this year is great cause we get four picks in the top three rounds. 

I'd package every pick from rounds 4-7 and see how high up we could go. probably could get 5 starters. the draft is deep enough for it this year. 

It also points to the logic of trading down in the first round to get a 1 and a 2 to give gettleman more chances with the higher end draft talent.

my first point was it appears most teams strike out more often than they don't. Not just Gettleman

[Shocker]

Hit rate for the good ones is around 50 percent according to Polian.

He has never got to draft this high either. Y'all don't see all the late round picks we have had to deal with. This year u will see Gettleman get some work done. Wait and see!!!

He's tip toeing below average, he makes good moves and then he makes bad moves, and the most frustrating part is his bad moves are from ignorance or some power move type poo. I just hope he doesn't get too cute in the draft

I'm about to break hearts BUT here is what you could probably expect to happen ... imo realistically.

1.) DE ( Thomas or Barnett) 

2a.) Defensive Back that slides (Obi, Budda, Kevin King, Quincy Wilson)

2b.) TE (BPA)

3.) RB ( Perine )

4th and 5th packaged to move back into 3...

3b.)WR ( Dede Westbrook) 

6.) Guard (BPA)

7.) LB ( the annual linebacker gem)

3 high priority Udfa's and 7 camp bodies (2-3 of which make the practice sqaud) 

The Crystal ball is smoking .... ***drops mic***

The fact there are many rookies coming in this year that are older than Funchess should be saying something. When he translates his potential on the field, we'll be talking about him as our WR1. 

Ealy wasn't a huge miss. The fact he was our best player - by far - in the Superbowl made his pick all the more worth it. If Remmers wasn't such a turnstile, Ealy would be hands down Superbowl MVP, and an easy non-bust for us. Only issue is inconsistency, but the potential is there.

Very few of Gettleman's picks have been busts. That's saying a lot.
