Are you saying you wouldn't draft Roquan Smith if he was available? Dude is a beast

Sorry I forgot about him. Like him too.

CAP better hold on to the damn ball!

Not sure about Bradberry. He trended downward last season. CB is huge right now, but can many rookies come right in and play well? It's a huge curve when you talk about a rookie vs a Julio.

They finally remembered that #24 wasn't the old #24 and started throwing his way with success last season.

I'm hoping Bradberry snaps back because you can't afford to trot a couple rookies out there like Dave Gettleman did if you're trying to win next year.

Hurney will go BPA with the first pick so it could be anybody, even a linebacker (Luke), which pissed me off at the time. I know they'll bring in a starter with the first pick. After that, crap shoot.

I believe every word this man says.

We’re drafting a cb in the first, Pretty sure if it. Unless of course a stud DE is available. 

Still aren’t sold on the thought that our safeties are good enough.  Better either draft one or sign a decent FA. 

Would love to see a TE that can play with Olsen. We really haven’t had that “double trouble” in a long time.

Am glad to see that Norv has considerable input in this draft, feeling like he can turn our offense into something special.

There is not one after Chubb that plays a 43, at least not one for the 1st round

Ron has full Faith in Norv. That wasn’t the case with Shula

I suspect the vets will start and any rookie in the secondary  will work themselves into the rotation as they demonstrate they can start or are forced to play due to injury. Then huddlers will complain that the rookie should have started since day 1 and Rivera can't judge talent regardless of whether they needed a learning curve in order to refine their skills or not.

[Captain Morgan]

if this is the direction we're heading, I like it.

We have 4 picks in the top 3 and have holes at 5 positions...safety, cornerback, wide receiver, tight end, interior OL.  If we take a RB before the 5th, that's one more position that won't get the attention it deserves.

Stewart was never a bulldozer, he absorbed way more punishment than he dished out

Don"t know about that. He was always at/near the top for yards after contact for RBs for a few years.

sometimes I think the Panthers would be a much better team if the draft was in March.

April is, apparently, far too long for the brass to retain the lessons they learned during the season.

Every year, February comes and its "alright that's it, enough playing around, were gonna go hard to finally field a good cast of offensive weapons." This always culminates in "well you know we could probably just trying another mid round pick at the spot, the odds will catch up this time."

Not just at that spot either. We blister into the combine and pre draft workouts with wall to wall interviews of all the best Safety prospects, then sure enough, come the first week of April, its "you know we just really don't value the Safety position in this defense."

We haven't spoken to a relevant FA prospect in almost a month, the vast majority of our Free Agency interest circled around CBs, and now here we are, heading into the draft, and the growing whispers are of taking a CB in the first on the basis of "little scheme value" at other positions that have consistently cost us playoff games.

Its the same cyclical garbage every year.

[Growl]

the reason the team "doesn't value the Safety position" is because the team has never sought to acquire a player who was good enough to show them the position's value

[The Huddler]

 

wow

 

im suprised that so many people were butthurt about this statement.

Idk how one could think we're better at safety, than corner. We have two older strong safties, with no true center field/ coverage guy vs. Bradberry Ross capt corn.

I think its just that CB is a much more position in todays nfl than safety. Not that the team is better off at S
