I think we had a great day two of the draft. Hard to deny that our offense is better than it was on Thursday afternoon. I don't know what they saw in Hall that says he's better than Derek Rivers, but I'm glad they grabbed a solid DE there.
No 4th rounder today. I'd be fine if they traded the 5th, 6th and 7th rounders to move up a little and grab someone that could really have a chance at making the team.

i could have sworn we had a compensitory pick late in the 3rd? did we trade out of that?

Their original 3rd round pick moved into the late second (Moton) in the Ealy trade. Then, they used that compensatory pick and a fourth-rounder to move back up into the mid-3rd and get Hall.

I'm guessing that the personality rift became too much between he and Jerry Richardson. DG is straight business and JR likens his players to family, which can be a hard balance for a GM who's primary task is winning ballgames.

Especially since Steve Smith and D'Angelo Williams both threw Gettleman under the bus today

Most people, if being honest, would say Gettleman made the right call in both of those cases. His only move I disagreed with was cutting Josh Norman. That move doomed last year's team, set a bad tone in the locker room, and probably was the beginning of the end for Gettleman.

Their offensive line was also terrible.

This move doesn't make sense in the slightest. The issue with Hurney was blind loyalty to aging players and paying them astronomical sums while their skills were diminishing, leading the Panthers into cap hell. Gettleman is the best GM the Panthers have ever had. Richardson simply cannot get out of his own way.

First string D looked good, for what little time they played. Byrd had a nice game at WR. I really hope we've seen the last of Bersin. Butker nailed a 51-yd FG. Split it right down the middle with plenty of distance. Gano should be officially on notice.

my thought as well. he nailed that FG...pure.

all in all i thought they looked good, 1st qtr was all i really cared about and they looked pretty crisp. and those 1st couple of defensive series were fantastic....KB looked physical, and i just hope that's the guy we see all year.

o line looked a little shaky in run blocking...but nothing i don't think to be too worried about at this point.

solid 1st outing all in all.

Can't say I understand cutting Lee to keep Palardy. Also, Webb is the only QB that looked foot in the preseason!!

We're a run-based team and we now have no FB on the roster after cutting Armah to add a third-string QB. Gotta think that spot will be filled after we drop/trade one of our kickers.
