NFL Draft Round 2: Panthers select Kawann Short

[Yaboychris28]

What scares me most is that we haven't responded to the developing events to the draft. We decided what we wanted and completely ignored the reality changing around us. Short was clearly the choice before the draft even started, and nothing changed that. That's worrisome with the level of great talent at immediate news. What's more scary is Gettleman's confidence in our corners. The giddy with which he spoke about aging, average Drayton Florence now seems a lit scarier in hindsight.. You can throw out tired cliches about not needing talented players in your secondary because of your dline, but unfortunately, those cliches don't win football games. Talented players do, and the Panthers have the worst secondary in the league by a very, very, big mile.

Gettleman came out and made a point that we wouldn't be trading back into today's round. Not only is that worrisome how definitively he said that... It really, really speaks to the fact that he has no interest in playing for this season. When you make a stubborn decision to stick closely to your board and not respond to the changing events in the draft, you are forced to make such decisions with more thought.

You're looking in to this pick way too much. Kawan Short is a pick for the future, not necessarily for the present. We just solidified our d-line, something we havn't been able to say in a while. Be happy.

I could play safety with this Dline

This!

oh cool another rebuilding year nice

The dude dominated the Senior Bowl, I think he will be a good player but at the same time, we had so much other needs with players still available that would have fit. Idk time will tell, i just hope it works out better than when the Bucs took 2 Dt's early

The Bucs had the best run defense in the league last year, largly because of those two DTs - McCoy and Miller.

Defense is back in Carolina! Good pick!

Feels good!

Hey Doug Martin, Steven Jackson, and whichever scrub saints tailback that starts,

Fug You!

I hope we can resign The Kraken

[stirs]

This should keep our oft injured LB corps upright and VERY effective

Hoping OG from Kent State is there in the 4th

Cam has to be a little pissed off, they have done very little to help him.

LOL, you know i didnt even think about the runningbacks that are in our division till now. It makes this pick that much easier

[Future of the Funchise]

The description of his strengths makes me think of Warren Sapp.

Cam has to be a little pissed off, they have done very little to help him.

DWill, Stew, Tolbert, Cam, Smitty, LaFell, Hixon, Ginn, Olsen.....the offense has plenty of weapons.

If the OLine stays healthy we will be a very good team.

[KillerKat]

I believe the rest of our draft is going to consist of a TE and 2 OL

Cam has to be a little pissed off, they have done very little to help him.

The offense is viable enough, we've lost so many games over the last few seasons cuz the defense is so awful, Cam will be fine.
