Grade Our 2014 Draft

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

What grade would you give the Panther's 2014 draft class?

 

 

1.28 Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State 2.28 Kony Ealy, DL , Missouri 3.28 Trai Turner, OG, LSU 4.28 Tre Boston, FS, North Carolina 5.8 Bene Benwikere, CB , San Jose State 6.28 Tyler Gaffney, RB , Stanford

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.

B. First two days were ideal. Today was underwhelming.

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. 

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

An A+...really?

 

Care to explain?

[toldozer]

C- for me, mainly because we picked so quickly in the first two rounds we gave no one a chance to blow us away with a trade offer.

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.

Day 1 and 2 were pretty good. Day 3 was poo, especially topped off by a RB.

 

Gave a C-

[LUUUUUKE]

I don't play into the hype of making any grades until the season plays out. We need a little help in FA still. I do believe that we will be better this year than we were last year.

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.

[OnlyPantherFaninMaine]

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. 

 

[KillerKat]

A solid C. A lot of "meh" picks after the 3rd round. And even our 2nd rounder will be a backup.
