Somebody clue me in...who was the last comp pick that amounted to anything for the Panthers?  Don't say Will Grier.

That's the whole point!  We squander our comp picks by signing FAs, typically JAGS we can sign after the comp pick penalty is over.  Take the Patriots this year, I'm pretty sure they have 12 picks.  Wanna bet of those extra 5 picks they will develop 2-3 of them into at least a depth/rotational players?  You think Belichick scoffs at comps picks?  I realize we have Hurney, but sh!t, with more picks the odds of the blind squirrel finding a nut at least increases.

My point is that comp picks are for losers.  Sign a FA if you like him and to hell with comp picks

You probably have NFL tape on a FA.  Comp picks rarely hit especially here.

Solid argument. In the year of a total rebuild we sign a bunch JAG FAs.  Makes total sense.  Maybe Hurney finally understands his weaknesses.

Tom Brady was a comp pick. Not that it matters because more picks give you more shots. Maybe the guy you take next does well or you trade up.

Good point, also more trade up ammunition if desired.  Hell, most years we struggle to have just our standard 7 picks, one in each round.  Usually we piss one or more of those away too.

We've done so well building through FA in the past, what could go wrong? (Hint: 2019)

This.  There was an article a year ago of how NE used their comp pick in trades they completed with other teams.  It was the added value that helped them get great players by throwing in a lottery late round comp pick.  But the teams would bite constantly.

Correct.  He was cut by the Rams last Dec.  He doesn’t count.  

Did the Cardinals cut him late in the year or something?  I could have sworn he was on their squad last year and not the the Rams.

Panthers signed WR Pharoh Cooper to a one year contract.

Cooper earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors in 2017 as a returner with the Rams before getting his most work yet as a receiver with the Cardinals in 2019. Overall, Cooper caught 25-of-33 passes for 243 yards and a touchdown as a backup WR in the Cardinals' four-WR heavy offense. He'll likely work as the Panthers' No. 4 WR behind D.J. Moore, Curtis Samuel and probably Seth Roberts.

      33rd Team article: It's time to rethink Bryce Young's expectations

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In the same order I listed it. 1. Fix the talent evaluation 2. Use that better evaluation to build an NFL caliber roster 3. Continue to build depth and plan to replace key people as they age out and price out.    Those are the cornerstones of building long term success in terms of roster makeup. Even at times in our history when we got Step 1 correct and then did a decent job of Step 2, we have never been able to maintain Step 3 for various FO and coaching/on field reasons. This is essentially what Richardson was trying to do with the thought of emulating the Steelers. Our execution has just been horrible. And we don't need to hit HR after HR at any of those steps, we just need to get more right than wrong. And you need to get the critical elements correct(core players, coaches, etc). Once that starts to go sideways, the whole thing falls apart and we are back to the boom and bust cycle.   As far as what we as fans can do? Nothing but watch. We the franchise, well they already think they are doing these things. I heartily disagree so we will see what happens.

      I really liked XL.  But I'm not expecting much from him this year given he is paired with Bryce.  I just think for XL to shine with his talents.....he needs a downfield gambler.  I think Brooks will slowly be brought along and we don't see his debut until in season.     That's our top 3 rounds...and really where you would be looking for rookie impact.  Rest should more than likely be developmental and have minimal impact.  So I expect fans to get down on our draft picks early.  I think the G play could get praise but C being such a wildcard (as well as Canales' run game) has that as not the lock I think some have it has.  Plus, I think Bryce simply can make the OL look bad given his size the problem he has in so many traditional settings/placement in the pocket.

      Okay so when is that changing? How does it change, and how do we operate in the meantime?
