More great work from Darin Gantt:

 All the Panthers really did last weekend was change the entire way they do business on draft weekend.

That's all, just blowing up the business model, re-thinking the entire process, and building it again. That's it.

Now, it took months of planning, dozens of people, hundreds of Zoom calls, thousands of Marriott points, and unlimited cell phone plans to get it done

What a great read.

The point in there where they admit somewhere after the Bears trade and #59, the tackle (or) two they were targeting was drafted.  3 notable ones:

Jenkins, Radunz, Eichenberg, Cosmi, & Walker Little.  I do wonder which one we fawned over and would've picked if all available.

They had to have known Jenkins was going to be picked but maybe they were thinking  Eichenberg or Cosmi were going to be available.  Radunz went after the second trade down w/the Browns so they must've had him near equal to Christensen.  Makes you wonder.  I think it was maybe Sam Cosmi.

What a great read. Don’t know if we have ever been given that much honest insight before.

I definitely like the line of thinking here to not fall in love with players that fall outside of the elite category (top 15 this year). If a player makes it to the 2nd round or beyond, they made it there for a reason, so no reason to get emotional about having to have one of them. 

I did not know the Texans owned the Rams 22’ 4th round pick, kind of dampens the value of that trade to me a tad as it’s surely going to be lower than that of the Texans. Granted we’re talking about a 4th round pick so no that big of deal.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      By CRA · Posted

      You can keep talking about that cherry picked stat line.  Bryce Young in his entire football career.....has never been a deep ball guy.  Sure, everyone needs that in their game.  He does too.  That's not why we drafted him.    We don't need to try to wish him into a downfield passer.  We don't need to build an O that doesn't play to his strengths.   You know what weren't the best at?  Well below the league average in what we got out of the backfield.  Well below the league average in YAC.  That's easy yards. Those moves the chains.  And Bryce getting the ball out quickly to playmakers is literally why we drafted him......and we immediately traded away those guys right before we drafted him and given him none.

      Well played Panthers....good job

      I see this division being between us and ATL this year and unfortunately, ATL is shaping up to be one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. If they play to their potential, they could legit average 30 pts a game. The season after this one as Pennix develops even more team chemistry? That’s going to be pretty painful for the rest of the division.   Until last night, Panthers were a team that didn’t even have a legit #1 receiver. We all hoped we would, eventually with Coker or XL, but that’s a long shot, and deep down we all knew it. We really needed ‘that guy’ on offense and hopefully we got him. When your receiver room looks like ours and the opportunity comes to draft a legit #1 receiver who had his level of consistent production, you’ve got to take him. There’s no LB, safety, corner or DT that can shape a game like a legit stud WR1. not even close. The opportunity to get a guy like this don’t exactly come along every day. An all-pro edge guy, yes, but that wasn’t available.  Teams that make deep runs have at least 1 ‘that guy’ on offense and defense. Hopefully we can now cross one off the list.

      Round 1 - Panthers Select Tetairoa McMillan at Pick 8

      I wouldn't hate if we took a quick twitch speedster in the 4th, but when you look at the WR room right now with T-Mac, XL, and Coker all in their first 2 years, even with Thielen there, I'd rather pick up a vet FA for that role than another rookie, just to get some more experience in the room. Then once we lose Theilen, unless we hit it right on the FA signing for that speedster role, maybe we look at using like a 3rd rounder next year to fill the role, but that's a problem for next offseason hopefully.
