Yeah, the two guys on their Draft show are better than that guy. I thought it was Matt Miller giving the grades. I like Miller a lot. I don't know who the fug Mike Tanier is. 

I was breaking you balls on the BR thing in general. I’d read the Tanier mocks earlier and saw the grade and was like WTF?

He sounds like a LeBron fan.

how do you go from 8th overall and best tackle in December to people bitching that we pick him up in the second round in April? How do you fall that much without playing football?

@Mr. Scot

How do you go from being touted as a high pick to falling into the second round?

The draft process is full of risers and fallers.

Answer: Combine measurable that produce elite talent like Stephen Hill

We gave up No. 47 and No. 77 

I thought rank in the draft didn't mean anything?   

This looks like an overreach

I like Little, but not excited about the cost.

Hurney you were doing so good up until now.

Sigh.

"Yeah, it was a very EXCITING meeting"

 

I'm loving the Carolina love. Guys are excited to come here now.

Love the pick and player, think the trade was a bit steep but in reality the panthers probaly would have fuged up and traded 77 and 100 to get grier anyway lmao

Little John has to grow on me,...I hope he proves to be the best tackle in the draft and proves me wrong.

What a pessimistic fan base.

The argument of people saying, “he’d likely be there at 47” is complete bs. 5 Tackles (4 in the first, 1 in the second) went before panthers traded up to get Little. Little was the only pure left tackle remaining on the board. He has a legit chance to be a franchise LT. No way he would have fallen 10 picks. And if you were paying attention to the draft, you’d notice bills immediately traded up to get Cody Ford because just like you guys, they probably had assumed he’d fall to them and realized, “oh wait, no he’s not”. And then 4 picks later, broncos draft Risner. So no, he wouldn’t have made it to us at 47 because teams were in need of OTs. Just because people don’t like a player, doesn’t mean you can just say  “he would have been there at our pick”. Also, for anyone who is wondering why we paid so much for moving up by giving the 77th pick when we could have given up the 100th pick instead, it’s about competition  Seattle most definitely had Bills on the phone and Panthers gave their 2nd and 77th to beat their offer. As soon as the Panthers trade went through and they drafted Little, they called Raiders and got the deal done with them to draft Ford. 

Overall Little pick grade: A

@Mr. Scot

Teams have their own evaluation process it seems like GMs fall in love with things about prospects along with the kids potential/talent that makes guys like Daniel Jones go before a more productive Haskins. I believe we just hit it big after time with Matsko we should at least get a good four years of production playing above average to pro bowl level it was worth everything we gave up easily. A strong O-line for us makes us a scary team to face

2 things-

We traded up well before the run on OTs started.

We started the run on OTs by trading up.
