I'm not going to cry about us missing out on nepotism. And I don't think it actually mattered if we had a succession plan in place or not. It seemed pretty obvious that the league had made a deal with Tepper that he was next in line to get a team and they saw an opportunity to force out a geriatric owner to make it happen sooner than they had anticipated. Not to defend JR's actions, but I mean damn, Dan Snyder still hasn't been forced out yet 

And he never will be because he doesn't care about the NFL. The NFL knew they could poo on JR because they have been doing it his entire time as Panthers owner. Most owners would have burned down the NFL after getting shafted out of two SBs. Not JR he just loved the NFL that much.

I am more upset we missed out on Brandon Beane

What a dumb ass move that was by Richardson.  They had Beane in the organization for years, I thought grooming him and he was close to a GM position AND instead of promoting Beane ... Jerry goes out and hires Gettleman so Beane walks out the door.   And I am not really sure this is hindsight, because many would have preferred Beane at the time also.

You can only get so mad at the league when your beloved kicker shanks a kickoff and beloved QB fumbles account for most of your opponents points.

I know you young kids don't remember but the Patriots had all of our offensive plays and videos of us running them. That's why the fumbles happened and why the kickoff was important. Not to mention the league doesn't care if the Panthers get a SB because JR was never going to speak up like Kraft.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Random,  if the Giants do take Carter... and try to trade Kayvon...  I would think about it. If Sanders gets to 8 and they want to trade up from 3(I know that's far) by adding Kayvon and pick swaps in next couple rds and a future 1st or 2nd maybe... Id be game. They pick at the top of each rd, so we'd get talent spill over, a pass rusher with yout/ skill and still have that 34 pick to get a wr etc.

      JOE PERSON: the sense around league circles is Panthers will take Jalon Walker @8

      Those guys you mentioned are ILB at the next level. They will be really good too. We could use any of them and like you I hope we can get one of them later on in the draft. The teams need on defense is great than the amount of picks they have. If they are sticking with the 3-4 base they will need another ILB and a OLB that can play DE in 4-3 packages. The front 7 is far from complete and the secondary will not get every need addressed this offseason. The talent is just not going to be available when we are picking I'm afraid.

      There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.
