In just the last few hours, I have read that people are cooling on Dareus, that Fairley is falling, that Bowers could go outside the top 10, that PP isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and will end up a safety, that Gabbert deserves a second round grade, that Newton's teammates don't like him, and on and on.

Leaves you to wonder if the lack of free agency and the lockout leaves too much time to pick apart the prospects.

Hurney has my trust when it comes to the draft...other than the 2nd round.

I agree man, thats why I dont think there's any way in hell we're going QB. Just smells all wrong, but we still gotta sell it. I understand that.

I dont remember any of our first rounders ever being questionable under Hurney so how is it possible that we will pick one like that now. Pep, Beason, Otah, Stew, D'lo, Gross, and Gamble never had question marks. I recall them all being "safe bets". The only pick I remember being questionable was Davis and the pick was still money in the end.

I'm ready for this crap to be over, but if there's no CBA what the hell will be talk about then?

About how such and such was a bad pick, or how good such and such was a good pick. It's the huddle they'll find somethin' to talk about.

Depends. If we pick a DT, we can have anxiety attacks over reports of weight gain. If it's Gabbert, we can talk about his favorite fishing spots.

Sounds kinda bleak, doesn't it?

      SC won the ACC title the week before in Clemsons own house. Committee was worried about optics over talent.

      Brooks wasn’t the worst offensive draft mistake the panthers made this year

      It's crazy how folks on the huddle can draft better than our highly paid scouts.  I know I saw several mocks with the first 3 selections going Ladd, Frazier and Wilson like the above post.  Heck, one of them may have been mine.  It seems that the scouts go into paralysis by analysis.  Ladd might not be the ideal weight or height, it's tabo to draft centers high, Wilson had past injuries.  All that said, those dudes just dominated at their respective positions. Our scouting department and Morgan need the K.I.S.S montra--keep it simple stupid. STOP overthinking it.

      This team has long had an allergy to the obvious pick. They take an XL and think they can coach him up to be the next megaton or DK. Brooks to be the next Peterson. Burns to be the next LT. They pick dudes and play them outside of their natural position. They draft for need, get desperate, pick the flawed guy, and the results speak for themselves. They go to the store jonesing for a ribeye, the store is sold out except for the ‘manager’s special’ … and end up with a toilet of puke later that night…  whereas the filet that was sitting right next to it got some other dude laid.  The obvious pick with no need of coaching up has done them pretty well. Moose. Peppers. Kuechly. Davis. Gross. Jenkins, etc.  Sometimes obvious is just obvious. Consistently missing on first and second rounders gets them exactly where they are. Loser teams, devoid of talent and a revolving door at head coach.  WR: Pick the guy who can catch the damn ball. DE: pick the guy who can play the run well. Pass rush is nice, but playing the run is better.  center: smart big guy who doesn’t miss assignments.  tackle: good pass protector first. Run blocker second. If you have a really good QB and receivers that can catch, the running game will open itself up by default.    It’s not THAT hard, right? Diamonds in the rough are usually only quartz. Stop picking up dudes whose flaw is THE primary skill required for their position, thinking that you’ve got some sort of magical staff. Go BPA with the healthy guy who just flat out gets it done better than anyone else still available…. Except for a RB or special teamer. Yes BPA is boring, but it stacks the team with legit talent.    That’s what I’m going to call their reaches from now on. The f-in manager’s special. Break out the cast iron griddle, Montreal steak seasoning, and some avocado oil.
