Carolina Panthers trade up to select Greg Little in round 2 of the NFL Draft.

[Chartley23]

CBS gave the pick an A+

NFL.com said “they hit on a tackle”

Since I’m here “i like it too”

Y’all crazy with all of the negativity.  Give it a minute.

Good pick Williams either balls out and gets paid somewhere else next year or gets injured, either way we can have Little at G this year and T next year and he also provides insurance in case someone gets hurt. I dont think he is there at 47.

Gawd, y'all are terrible when ya don't agree with something. 

 

I like the Little "pick"

Just wish we didnt give up 77.

There is going to be a solid Saftey falling to around there.  

Now we have to hope Gaulding or Collin Jones improves

Wish we coulda traded 100 and not 77. But it's all water outta the fridge now.

It could of been worse.  Much worse

Almost every scout agreed that Little would be a top 5 pick if he showed a little more agreesivness and tenacity consistently.  That can be coached.  Natural talent and skill set cannot.  He has all the tools and physical traits...I have no doubt that Matsko can get the best out of him, just like he did Oher. 

As much as Hurney will say Little gets a chance at LT, Rivera probably won't allow it at least this year. They most likely want to see Moton at LT first and Daryl Williams who's wanting a big-time contract will likely win the RT spot based on experience. If Little is good enough we'll place him inside LG alongside Moton LT. You need to be nasty at that LG position. If he can become more aggressive and be more consistent while at LG, we may give him a shot at one of our Tacke positions later on.

So we draft a guy in the 2nd who was graded as a chance to be a starter and will more than likely struggle again with whoever plays FS. Guess I’m clueless

There are a ton of scouts who love Little and had him as one of the top rated tackles in the draft and he actually played LT in college. We deal with Oline injuries every year it seems like so getting a guy who knows how to play LT seems like a pretty smart move to me. Would you rather Chris Clark out there starting another 15 games while Cam gets killed again?

There a still quite a few serviceable to above average FS on the market that will come very cheap once the draft ends. We also still have time to take one in the draft.

The team came into the draft wanting a LT and an edge rusher and they accomplished that.

Doubt it would have been worse he was making calls but offering the same thing we used to trade up in the 2nd, if he offered anything more someone would have took it.

I'm just happy that they're investing in the OL. Hopefully, Greg turns out to be a great pick.

Nice try but there is no room for being positive on this board.

Trying to trade up for an iffy player?

Damn. What year is this?

[GoPanthers123]

He would not have been there for us without the trade and fills one of the biggest needs.  I’m ok with this pick.

Holy crap.  At least we didn’t do that. 

I’m  just not thrilled with value.  But that’s what drafting for need does to you. Thanks Khalil you piece of trash.  

Lets hope since Matsko can work some magic.
