Who Were We Targeting In The 3Rd Round?

There was a lot of talk during the 2nd round about trading up to get into the 3rd Round. We were unsuccessful, but who were we targeting? Joe Adams? Frank Alexander? Someone else? Would it have been a same scenario trade, such as next year's 2nd, plus a later round this year?

I've been wondering about this because if it was one of the same players we picked up in the 4th, this could've ended badly. Makes me a little nervous, but I'm not sure what the plan was.

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I thought the team was going to do something with the Dolphins. But I don't know who was on the radar. They take what everyone thought was the obvious need in the 4th. That muddies the water for me on how they were valuing each round.

Hurney was said to be visibly upset all night Friday night. Moping around the stadium, kicking trash cans, slapping walls. He really was hoping to give away our 2nd rounder next year. I bet he wanted to get Anger

Where did you hear this?

Hurney's tendency to trade next year's pick is self perpetuating.

If he would just bite the bullet for one year he would have the pick without trading away our future. Marty, just stop already!

What make this worse is to watch well managed teams stockpile picks while we give ours away for questionable talent.

On a video posted on Panther.com Hurney said that they were trying to trade up into the 3rd for Alexander because they really liked him but thought he would be gone early in the 3rd. When they found out he wasn't going in the 3rd they changed their approach to getting two 4ths to get both Adams and Alexander.

Don't have a link as I have the Panthers iPhone app on my phone. Sorry.

come on guys........................it's coach speak.

Do you really think the Panthers wanted the headlines in the paper to read..........

"Panthers try to trade up in the 3rd for so and so but settle for Alexander in the 4th" ??

they always say who they got is who they were targeting.

      33rd Team article: It's time to rethink Bryce Young's expectations

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In the same order I listed it. 1. Fix the talent evaluation 2. Use that better evaluation to build an NFL caliber roster 3. Continue to build depth and plan to replace key people as they age out and price out.    Those are the cornerstones of building long term success in terms of roster makeup. Even at times in our history when we got Step 1 correct and then did a decent job of Step 2, we have never been able to maintain Step 3 for various FO and coaching/on field reasons. This is essentially what Richardson was trying to do with the thought of emulating the Steelers. Our execution has just been horrible. And we don't need to hit HR after HR at any of those steps, we just need to get more right than wrong. And you need to get the critical elements correct(core players, coaches, etc). Once that starts to go sideways, the whole thing falls apart and we are back to the boom and bust cycle.   As far as what we as fans can do? Nothing but watch. We the franchise, well they already think they are doing these things. I heartily disagree so we will see what happens.

      I really liked XL.  But I'm not expecting much from him this year given he is paired with Bryce.  I just think for XL to shine with his talents.....he needs a downfield gambler.  I think Brooks will slowly be brought along and we don't see his debut until in season.     That's our top 3 rounds...and really where you would be looking for rookie impact.  Rest should more than likely be developmental and have minimal impact.  So I expect fans to get down on our draft picks early.  I think the G play could get praise but C being such a wildcard (as well as Canales' run game) has that as not the lock I think some have it has.  Plus, I think Bryce simply can make the OL look bad given his size the problem he has in so many traditional settings/placement in the pocket.

      Okay so when is that changing? How does it change, and how do we operate in the meantime?
