gave it a c.

 

wasn't good or bad. it just was.

 

aside from WR there were no significant upgrades to any position group. we have some competition at guard. ealy and that stanford RB give us some leverage and options at thise two position groups that were already overloaded and overpriced. DBs are meh so they pretty much fit with what we have already.

 

aside from benjamin there's just nothing for me to get excited about. no big changes or upgrades. a very underwhelming draft, imo. i was expecting more from a draft class this talented and loaded.

 

apologies to superfans who think i should be thrilled with anything this FO does.

Exactly how I feel. I was disappointed to get one starter and one potential starter (Turner) in a draft this talented and deep...especially one that was strong in all over our positions of need.

B- to C. It's just so hard to tell right now (obviously), especially with picks like Ealy and even Gaffney maybe making more sense in a year or two. I'm just hoping KB and Trai turn into productive players next year, Ealy shows flashes, Bene competes at Nickel and Tre/Gaffney contribute on ST.

I gave it a C+ because at least Ealy has the potential to be a beast (or so I am told).  If it wasn't for that, I'd be right there with you.

 

 

 

All the plus and minus stuff is really unnecessary anyway.

I liked the trade up for Benwikere...the CB pool was drying up fast so at least we took initiative and moved up to get someone we liked at a position of need.

 

Wasn't a fan of the Ealy selection even if it'll help down the road and keep a strength strong. By passing on a talented WR or T we kept a weakness weak. 

 

Love the Turner pick...probably my favorite of this draft.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
