You know you rolled your eyes when you read the title, if not for the notion of a power ranking in May then for the source...Bleacher Report.

I thought this was funny if...well, definitely for nothing else. After being ridiculed for not drafting/reaching for need by most pundits the highly reputable BR says this:

Throughout the draft, the Panthers reached for need to fill out the roster—including first-round receiver Kelvin Benjamin—but most of those picks won't turn into quality NFL starters right away.

They have us ranked 22. I find this just as ridiculous as grading draftees now, but I got a chuckle out of it.

I don't pay a bit of attention to post-draft grades or rankings.  I really should learn not to pay attention to pre-draft hype, but I can't help it.  I'm just starving for some football.  However, post-draft grades/rankings are the most worthless among a lot of worthless football "reporting" and "analysis".  Once the draft is over, no one gives a damn about what the pundits thought about the prospects.  Now we know what the actual NFL coaches, scouts, and GMs thought about them.  So, we especially don't give a damn about how the pundits think draft classes stacked up against their worthless opinions.

yeah even in cam's first 2 years, panthers were always close to winning games. really wasn't shocked when they jumped to 12-4...when you think about it.

 

panthers have a chance to get in the playoffs again and maybe win a superbowl.

I read this earlier in the day and it said "the Jaguars" reached for virtually every pick.  At that point I discounted it and moved on.  I see that they fixed the glaring passerby error but failed to address the base context.  We never reached.for need.  We did the opposite.  Why take a DE in the 2nd and a safety in the 4th if you are reaching for need.  No logic.  Just filling a word quota.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
