Oh great another Brandon Smith. Feels like nothing has changed in the war room since Tepper took over

Yep exact same sh!t

”building through the draft” sounds great in theory but we’re once again just pissing away picks. 

This team would be much better trading picks for proven talent. There were actual people here who didn’t want to trade 33 or 39 for Brandon Aiyuk.

Instead we got a RB and LB. The most Panthers draft ever

right, because no other teams have RBs and LBs.

This guy is a pure physical specimen who plays fast and angry. He needs to get better at the mental part of the game and improve his ability to shed blocks and read plays, but he has all the tools to be an awesome LB for us. If we could somehow get Luke to take a break from his hunting and fishing trips and have him mentor this kid that would be perfect.

I have not seen Trevin Wallace play, and I bet 99% of people complaining haven’t seen him play… but don’t let stand in the way of you complaining

I am going way out on a limb here--I bet Morgan knows more about LB than Huddlers with a bad attitude.

I think that you're mixing up RAS for upside. We presumably have good good coaches, and we certainly have people closely associated with the franchise and actually closely associated with the GM that know a little something about playing WR and LB. Canales was a WRs coach for goodness sakes. You pick the guys with the upside and coach them up. 

That's the same argument I heard for the last two staffs and the guys we drafted back then.

Unfortunately, until that actually happens, I am going to be very skeptical.

Okay, we didn't get our Luke replacement guy. But we may well have our next Thomas Davis. We needed something to put some fight back in our defense. Morgan knows all about those guys, he was one of those guys.

I don't think they've taken BPA at each pick, which has lead to some reaching, but the 2nd and 3rd rounders are definitely football players who also happen to be hyper athletic. 

Legette - yeah, that's a strange one for me. 

Yep. We apparently are anti-BPA. Plus all the trading up and down to get guys that seem like reaches.......boy that all seems really familiar.....

That's totally fair. But like I've been saying: it's a new day.

I get your hatred for the draft nerds but if all of them are consistent in their evaluation with said player then I am not sure what to tell you

Sounds like the LB or DE we drafted last year with one of the CMC picks. “We love our selves ah good project don’t we bahs”.

Lol

the weird thing is that most of these places have him pegged as a 3rd rounder

the crime is that we didn’t take a guy from their Alma mater

Show me recent situations where we thought we were smarter than the rest of the league and it worked out. I can show you dozens of examples of that not being the case.

I am not going to applaud hubris. Especially when it has nothing to back it up.
