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

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. 

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

Totally agree with this.  Also IMO we did not reach. Not a fan of the trade but we still have a 3rd so I’m not gonna cry about it.

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

Mom 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. 

Mom watches the draft?

roflmao ahahahahhahahaah Hurney is such a fugin moron

He really woulda traded up in the first for Clausen and hasn't learned from the Brown/Armani Edwards trade(ended up being the #33 overall.....)

I will take him over Dillard though. Just don’t like the value we had to give up.

This should have been for  47 and 100 not 77.  Fuggin Hurney man

There was probably a bidding war man, we just offered the most for the pick. What it’s worth and what you can negotiate are two different things.

Everyone using the draft value chart to say we got screwed. Consider the following. 

1. The team trading up pays a premium more often than not

2. 47 and 100 doesn’t get it done- it’s a net wash. I suppose you could have gone 47, 100, and 115.. but volume might not be worth it either.

How is he a moron?  The trade didn't happen, so clearly he wasn't offering anything over-the-top.

I really hope ya'll don't choose to find the most negative ish (w/ stuff that doesn't even actually happen to boot) to get angry about in real life too.

Typical. The kid was projected to be a first round draft pick while in high school. The only thing he didn't do was become phenomenal. He supposedly has a high football IQ. He's not perfect but Matsko will make him an absolute beast.

This guy gives me the same feeling Gauldin's pick did last year. Bad prospect that our team overvalued. As far as the day 1 value, remember Hurney gave the same thing to Clausen and that also reminds me of this pick. If he ever does become starter worthy, I am expecting it to take a year or two. Huge bust probability on this guy.

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

Yes---this is the correct attitude. He is now a Panther, he has the tools, and let's give him the support.

I'd have taken Ford or Risner over either of them.
