Report: Hackett Agrees to Terms with Panthers

[SmootSmack]

In the year of Darrell Green's induction, I'm officially on the "pick a CB in the first round" bandwagon...

Seriously though, while I think it will probably be a CB or WR in the first round I'm leaning toward a DT or DE. I'm just glad it's not something I really have to worry about. I can see why we like trading our picks. This is stressful stuff.

Assuming we o get the xtra third we end up with 4 "old school" first day picks and done correctly we should get 4 starters out of that. I think one each of dline, oline, cb and wr is what we are potentially looking at.

It may be tough to find a starting level cb or dline in the second round though. As for WR and Oline we should definteily be able to find those come round 3. I think I'd go Dline, CB, WR, Oline but of course it really all depends on so many variables not the least of which is what players are avaiable when we pick.

I'm not sure how I feel about this....we can draft a WR, but a rookie wideout is not going to contribute right away, and we're not rebuilding. I really hope this doesn't mean we're going to trade for a WR, b/c we need our picks to add depth to other areas of need. WR was really the only area we needed to address with FA. I guess now we'll see if crowd-favorite Anthony Mix lives up to the hype. I'm also counting on the fact that maybe Zorn will not be as conservative as Gibbs, and give him the same freedom Gibbs gave to Collins on the offense.

Guess we better start rubbing our hands and preparing for the draft. Cause we're not getting squat during FA.

Has anyone besides Brunell actually left the team, btw?

I also don't see the team taking a WR in the first when we just extended both Moss and ARE this offseason. Not in the first, but potentially later in the draft, I could see them going there.

Lol, extensions only mean so much these days. I remember Mike Schula got an extension the week before he was fired. There were also two other guys that got fired soon after they're contract was extended. However with that said I don't see us unloading those guys anytime soon.

Among one of the things it does mean is known as "guarenteed money" or "guarenteed salary cap space" or basically, the inability to get away from those players as your starters.

Basically, it means we aren't drafting a receiver in the first round.

I dunno about Manningham he's 6'0, but maybe another Monk.

That is averaging 70 yards per game. Santana Moss had 67 receptions over 15 games played (including the playoff game). That is 4.5 receptions per game, which is a larger difference from Hackett than Hackett was from Johnson. Moss had 876 yards over 15 games played which is 58 yards per game. That is 12 yards less than Hackett.

Moss played 15 games so of course his numbers are gonna be lower than hacketts.. His average is gonna change everytime he touches the ball. thats like saying Cartwright is a better RB than portis because he had a 7.0 ypc average as a RB.

But he only ran the ball once, for 7.0 yards, sio of cours his average is gonna be larger than portis's.

I dont agree with your arguement at all

Thank you! It's like saying Mattyk started 81 games and hit 35 homeruns, but DirtySkin had 1 homerun in 1 game played so clearly he would have hit 81 in 81 games.

Absolutely agree with you! Good arguement.

ps- Moss played in 14 games (just an FYI)
