GETTING TO KNOW …

Mackenzy Bernadeau, guard

Background: One of the final players taken in the 2008 draft when Panthers took him in the seventh round with the 250th overall pick. … Played at Bentley (Mass.), an NCAA Division III college in his hometown of Waltham, Mass. … Was on Panthers' active roster all season, but didn't play in any of the five games he dressed for.

What you need to know: With two backups (Geoff Hangartner and Frank Omiyale) gone from last season's deep and talented offensive line, Bernadeau is one of the Panthers' young players who might be needed if injuries strike. … Bernadeau won a strong man competition in the offseason.

BY THE NUMBERS

13 - Total runbacks for touchdowns by rookie Larry Beaver at Division III Wesley (Del.), an NCAA all-divisions record.

50 - Consecutive starts by rookie offensive tackle Patrick Brown at Central Florida.

51 - Career touchdowns by receiver Steve Smith, most in Panthers history.

OBSERVATIONS

Monday night's practice was held in relatively cool temperatures. That won't be the case Tuesday, when another hot one (mid- to upper-90s) is expected in Spartanburg.

Jake Delhomme had a rough couple of plays in the night practice against the nickel defense, sandwiching a completion between a bail-out toss out of bounds and a long interception by Chris Gamble.

Rookie defensive tackle Everette Brown excels at drills that require quickness and running. He blazed around a tackling-dummy slalom course during the evening practice. He'll rely on that speed and quickness when the season starts.

Linebacker Thomas Davis, who missed another day of practice with a sprained knee, was running on it without any noticeable limp.

QUOTING

“Everybody is in better shape than me.” Linebacker Jon Beason, who missed a week of practice with a hamstring injury.

    • 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
    • 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.
    • 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
