NFL Draft 2009

Well I was suprised they passed on Crabtree. I got nothing on the second rounder.

Whats worse though - is my Panthers once again traded away their first rounder for next year (thats 2 years in a row) to reach for a DE that really didn't impress me. And to do what - move up like 10 or so spots in the second round??? Sure we got a fourth out of it as well this year - but a fourth and mid second don't equal a first - especially when we have a need that the draft class next year is strong in. *That being QB*

Plus we failed to unload Peppers, meaning that situation is hanging over us, and its going to get ugly fast, mark my words.

Since our owner has had heart issues (thank you Lord for providing the man a heart), the Front Office seems to be run at the whim of our head coach - and his focus is one year at a time - because he is fighting for his job every year. If he wasn't so loyal to certain players, the team as a whole would be alot better off. Our GM usually is smarter than this - but we just mortgaged the future of the franchise so our head coach could try to prop up a crappy quarterback and save everyone's job for one more year. Unreal.....

At least you Raider fans can blame ownership........
