Dude.

How much have you had to drink tonight?

Gamble is an All-Pro caliber CB, who was absolutely shut down last season.

na dude .. he had a decent season .. but look at his career as a whole

teams ran the ball against us last season because of our DT and LB situation .. and targeted the other side of the field based on the HUGE drop off in talent .. I don't think Gamble's season was necessarily based on his talent .. there were myriad other factors

I know that DT's take more than a rookie season to contribute. I am just smart enough to let a guy develop than make a knee jerk decision.

Our DT's were two rookies thrown to the wolves last season. No ota's... Both starters rookies.

Anyone that we would have taken this year would have faired about the same as Fua and McClain did.

I greatly disagree,You mean to tell me brockers,cox, and poe are no better than fua and mcclain? I would give you credit if you can name 4 plays each where they even flashed ability. I understand Dts take a while to develope but if you are a nfl caliber starter,I exspect you to atleast flash. Give the team areason to believe in you. Hogan gets a pass due to injury but beyond him and cam its hard to put much faith in anyone else in last years class sir.

I don't have a problem if fans want to critize the FO for not addressing positions via FA. And alot of the W-L comments about Hurney are relavent. But if you are mad about not drafting for need then I have a hard time respecting that.

I heard a GM say this past offseason that you draft BPA in the draft and fill the holes via FA the next offseason. That's why last year was so interesting with FA because it was completely different than what usually happens.

Some of you have already written off many players on this team. It's sad because there are some talented kids on this roster that need time to develope. I remember a time when people wanted Charles Johnson and James Anderson cut and replaced by other draft picks.

I can't speak for everyone but for those of you who are hating this draft, I will try my best to respect you and your opinions but you have to do the same for those of us who like the draft so far and willing to give more time for players to develope.

The thing most people forget is that last year rivers stated that wins and losses were not the main focus. He repeated that all he was asking of this team was to play hard and compete. We did both of those things very well and no one can deny that. Eliminate or limit the injuries and let the coaching staff put in their full scheme and we are in goooood shape. This team is still the same team that every panther fan projected to be a perenial player. I have the utmost respect for our coaches and our talent. We added pieces to our super bowl puzzle. Now let's put it together.

I agree with op. None of our draft picks fix any of our biggest issues from last year. You don't have to be a nfl gm to see a botched draft.

So, the revolving door at LBer wasn't a big issue from last year?

TD is gone, and Beason may still not be ready to start the season.

Not to mention, our interior line was almost literally a revolving door itself.

I remember people wanting Anderson and Johnson to be given a chance. Especailly Johnson. He was beastly.

For those saying this is a "Hurney Draft"

Steve Reed‏@SteveReed_AP

Panthers did not trade up in the third round although Ron Rivera had been egging on Marty Hurney to "work his magic."

Oh course this was going to happen. Hurney makes the final call. That is why he is the GM. Ron is the HC. Ron has no power in what goes on with the players we get from FA and the draft. All Ron can do is suggest and give his opinion on who might best fit their game plan. The rest is up to Hurney.
