Love it! He's an actual first-rounder, and the defensive prospects aren't. Easy choice.

He can’t get off press coverage in the PAC 12/Big 12. He is a go ball specialist who isn’t particularly quick. Defenses will play tight man, jam at the line, and still the only guy who will get open is Adam Theilen. 
 

Taking this guy when you have both Loveland and Warren on the board is peak stupidity. Warren or Loveland could do everything you drafted Tet to do, and they can play tight end really, really well. 
 

Adam will still be the only open receiver and Legette and now Tet will flail around trying to get off coverage for all but three or four snaps. 
 

Welcome back to the Benjamin/Funchess experiment guys. That worked out really well when Benjamin got hurt and Funchess had a ridiculous season. 
 

What. A. Waste. 
 

They can’t sell me on BPA. They tried to trade down and when they couldn’t, they reached by probably 10 or more picks. 
 

If this fails, or worse, hurts Bryce’s development, they all deserve to be fired. This is playoff year. This is Year 3 after taking a QB first overall. Taking Tet at 8 is a reach of reaches. 
 

I hope it works out. I have a feeling it won’t. This guy isn’t Christian Watson or Mike Evan’s or Drake London. And each one of those guys plays with other receivers who can GET OPEN. 
 

See you guys in August. This is garbage.

This team is looking at 6 or 7 wins if people stay healthy. Small steps towards relevance. The saying "Rome wasn't build in a day" pertains to the Panthers.

This is what year 8 of the Tepper era…and still trying to find a .500 season?  Forget Rome.   How long does it take to build a log cabin on a remote island

They may actually get to .500 this season if they can stay healthy. They will have to win more shootouts of course because the defense won't be much help, again.

Who were you wanting at #8?

A pick that fit a big picture vision and plan that can be argued makes sense.  It’s more random parts. 

we didn’t need an outside big body.   Bryce Young is our QB and we just did that last draft.  This one just has a higher floor and lower ceiling than the last.  Needed either D our a component of a Bryce O that was lacking

I'm coming around. Zig when they zag.  Spent a lot of money on defense this off-season. Plenty of D depth left in the 2nd and 3rd.  Missed on Metcalf, WR room was weak. If he's a 1, home run.

      Dan Morgan on Rich Eisen show

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’ve turned from a staunch detractor to him now having my 100% support. 1. He turned the worst o line in the league in to a top 10 unit in 1 offseason. Incredible.  2. Contracts to Horn and Hubbard. Reward your ride or die homegrown talent. Neither contract was way out of line for market value.  3. All of the talent he has added are intelligent, high floor types who love competing.  4. He understands that an org lives and dies off of the draft. This was the very first draft that I can remember since… ever where the franchise didn’t make a boneheaded trade and/or waste a high pick on a project tweener. No. It was Tepper sitting by almost completely mum, watching Dan orchestrate Dan’s draft…. picking intelligent high floor dudes from big name schools who showed up to play every Saturday and loved competing. It just felt right.  5. He has shown no reservation in cutting bait on guys that he sees as not having what it takes. This is really big one. It’s what the good teams do. Without it, you get the ‘coach’s guys’. Complacency. Stagnation. All these dudes needs to watch their backs.  I see him building a young core who have displayed NFL level ability. For the first time in a really long time it feels like the captain of the ship actually knows what he is doing.

      Jake Guentzel was a pretty elite  player and he fit us very well. And we’ve only had two offensive elite forwards under Rod. That’s Jake and Miko. Sample size is pretty small and I feel like your arguments biased. We are going to get an elite player or two In the off-season, we can be the judge of that this time next year.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      Defense is overall bottom 5 without a doubt.  We literally do no have any depth on any position for the defense.  We are once again a couple of injuries away from being complete garbage again.   I assume next draft will be defense heavy.
