I see this is a rebuilding year

and is not focused on our win loss record next year . From watching the our cuts and the draft I see GMAN as trying to put us in a financial/talent place in the future to build a team that can compete for the SB.

 

I was under the illusion in the off season that we would be trying to improve our winning record and path to the superbowl next year but it is clear that GMAN's is looking further in the future and realizes our best chance for a Superbowl run is in the future not next year. After much thought I agree with his approach.This draft proves that.

 

Is his approach right or wrong depends your expectations.......some want it right now and some want a sure thing later.

First thing we improved on was releasing our WR corp,  that was one of the worst units in the NFL.

 

 

 

Tackle,  we'll see what happens.   Guard has been upgraded just with the guys healing up and getting back on the field,  from IR. 

 

 

Defense has been bolstered.

At some points last year.  didn't we have like 6 rookies playing at the same time on defense?  Still,  we had the #2 defense...  those rookies are a year older with more experience now.

 

 

Stewart may actually play in more than 2 or 3 games this season...  which will be a huge upgrade to our offense,  within itself.

Just a value based draft. Don't read into it too much

Well if you factor in our off season cuts it should be clear we want to be competitive but not expecting to win a SB next year

Not rebuilding year at all. We'll definitely (even with an injury or two --unless its Luke ) have a top 5 defense, possibly best. AND we have a franchise QB, 1st round WR, #2 WR in Cotch, #3 in Avant, Greg Olsen, 3 great RBs when healthy, finally a solid starter at RG. Regardless of tackle (which we could still get Hurst or Richardson as UDFA) we should have a formidable offense.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
