Arod wasn't new to the team, nor did he sign 180milion deal with 100 million guarantees. Plus love was a 26th pick, not 8th overall. BTW cousins has a no-trade clause as well.... I think it made arod win the MVP too....which in itself worth the pick... The main point of drafting a rookie is for them to play on that cheap contract. At min penix will play two years from now, thus washing out the good part of his contract. Only way this works if cousins gets re-injured or busts. He will be 26-27 and need another contract by then. No matter what the saints do, Each cap dollars do matter. It's an awful awful deal no matter the out come. Glad panthers will benefit!!

I really liked zona's draft too. It's a fair snap shot at a entertainment grade.. edit- raiders imo had a much better draft than the expert grade. I see lots of BPA and need filled.

It felt like this draft was for the 2025 season. legette, brooks, sanders, wallace, and even smith -wade(NB) have a above 50% chance to start. Nothing much in the way, unless Morgan spends heavy in the areas of play/uses early pick there. Even Crumedy and Barratt could be ST starters

Dicaprio Bootle D'Shawn Jamison That's the answer. Not joking both looked like they belonged in real snaps, just got injured. Another answer would be https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/year/2024/status/available/position/cb/type/ufa/sort/contract_value Gilmore, Jackson, Jackson, and Sutton are names that were able to play at high levels. I think Morgan wants to sign Gilmore, just Gilmore wants 10million guaranteed to do that.

Its leverage my friend, it was only for a 5th-6th swap. AJ brown just got 32 million per in new dollars. Legette 5th option should be around 13 million. He would be 28-29 if he plays under it as well. That's a 20% control factor if legette balls out, HUGE when the money is talked about. Its about control. Im not a big legette fan, but that was crazy to me seeing billy beane undervalue that discounted option. He did Morgan and the Panthers a big favor. Other reports were Pats were after a WR and got close to a trade, but billy knew who we wanted. Need to send billy a Costco gift card....

That class on the whole was hellla bad, but the fact is what a makes a great class is lots less than what us fans think. 2 average-good starters 1 top backup/4 phase STer that's a great class. So given team have 7-8/9(comps) draft picks each year, just hitting on 30% equals success. You can look up Ozzie Newsome, who some think is the best GM ever. His 2010-2015 years were GOD awful, Id even say worse than Marty "give me a" herniay. He only had one great pick in CJ mosley, maybe a couple good starters...... the remains are trash. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/rav/draft.htm

I know Daniel Jeremiah had MarShawn Lloyd as his best RB. I super disagrees as did other teams. bryce young got a few inches on him!! I had brooks as the clear best, just didn't want to touch him until 65, honestly I wanted to avoid drafting RBs in general, made a exception for brooks. You can get a stud RB in the FA market each year for discounted cost the last 5 or so years..

Honestly I got PTSD form herniay drafting LBs and RBs. The draft nerd in me loathed seeing that happen again in rounds 2&3. That's WITH me agreeing the brooks was the best, I didn't know of the LB. In those early rounds focus should always be QB, edge, DL, OT, WR, and CB.... * unless Larry Allen ed reed clones are there....

I just look at vids, looked like its going to take more time. all these guys need weight room and sanders is no different. It normally takes longer for TEs and WRs than RBs and QBs. I don't think Ive seen sanders block anyone. TB didn't barely use the TE last year by my findings. Still love the pick and its my fav, but sanders needs to diet and learn to block fast. You are right, tremble is his only comp, (gosh he's still sooo young)Without looking they maybe within a year of each other. Need to see the offense in action.

just like XL, he's going to need a couple years.....I doubt our fan base will care.

The best improvement comes after the second full off-season. So the start of 2025 is when the fair grade/judgement can take place. *this changes if the player is cut or makes a all-pro/pro bowl/SB MVP etc.

32- ladd 46- frazier 72- trice 101- sanders(*love the Franklin pick same here0 157- Caelen Carson 200- Watson 240- cornelious johnson This is totally unfair to Dan Morgan judgement, I get to see were the break/fall in talent is like the edge group. Honestly doing this makes me feel my "D" grade is too low, his draft picks look just as good as mine and I cheated.

Going back and looking at the 3rd, I was a tad hard on the Wallace pick. You need to do a OG one with no trades 33, 39, 65, etc. In fact 33- ladd 39- kool-aid 65- colson 101- sanders 141- van pran granger 142- Austin booker 240- cornelious johnson

I think ISM has a 51% chance this year as well, he finished strong and KOs could help him stay as well. I do feel WR will be featured more, but they also said "WE are going to run the ball". Carolina Panthers Undrafted Free Agents QB – Jack Plummer, Louisville WR – Sam Pinckney, Coastal Carolina WR – Jalen Coker, Holy Cross WR – Devin Carter, West Virginia TE – Kevin Foelsh, New Haven OL – Jeremiah Crawford, Tennessee OL – Andrew Raym, Oklahoma DE – Taylor Upshaw, Arizona DT – Popo Aumavae, Oregon LB – Derrick McLendon, Colorado LB – Leo Lowin, Army CB – Willie Drew, Virginia State CB – DeShawn Gaddie, Ole Miss S – Demani Richardson, Texas A&M K – Harrison Mevis, Missouri

You think mingo isn't safe, it is a new staff/eyes/brains etc....but that would hurt if they cut a 39 overall player just one year in....yes, he didn't look good, same goes for the other 49 players..

theilen johnson mingo LX ISM- around 50% safe coker that's a decent group

By the numbers I think he just needs to beat out TMJ, that's done by just being 5 minutes early to his meeting!! Panthers can carry 7 WRs as well, there's room given the talent level and 2 QBs. Honestly that's the first thing canalas needs to do, forget numbers, just carry the talent.

I got that list from - https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-udfa-tracker-2024/

I can not confirm the TE or Jeremiah Crawford, Tennessee

theres more I think- https://nfldraftdiamonds.com/2023/06/kevin-foelsch/ Carolina Panthers Undrafted Free Agents QB – Jack Plummer, Louisville WR – Sam Pinckney, Coastal Carolina WR – Jalen Coker, Holy Cross WR – Devin Carter, West Virginia TE – Kevin Foelsh, New Haven OL – Jeremiah Crawford, Tennessee OL – Andrew Rahm, Oklahoma DE – Taylor Upshaw, Arizona DT – Popo Aumavae, Oregon LB – Derrick McLendon, Colorado LB – Leo Lowin, Army CB – Willie Drew, Virginia State CB – DeShawn Gaddie, Ole Miss S – Demani Richardson, Texas A&M

Leo Lowin is also a rookie camp invite only, but my poor reading skills.
