Panthers want to interview Ryan Poles (Chiefs) for GM

It will be interesting to see if Tepper actually pulls the trigger on this kid, or someone similar. Honestly, that would give me more comfort because it would indicate to me that he's serious about developing his franchise in a more outside-the-box framework and context (if you understand what I'm saying).

Any chance we could hire this kid for a non-GM position (like assistant GM or something else)? I have my heart set on trying to pry Colbert from Pittsburgh; having a kid like this here too to learn from him and take over at some point would be absolutely ideal.

Colbert is great in theory but I think we need to be focused on the future. Get a guy that can grow here with the team for the next 20 years(like Colbert did with the Steelers). You want a guy that can collaborate with our coach for the next decade+.

Interesting candidate. Only 35 years old from a legit franchise. I would much rather do this than some old retread.

Is he the one that identified Mahomes? I recall back when the Chiefs traded up to get him most were wondering wtf they were doing by reaching for him.

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
    • I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
