Can our bad blockig be attributed to receivers?

Everyone is talking about how bad our blocking is, but I don't think it can be explained entirely to the line. It's bad, sure, but it shouldn't be this much worse than last season. That got me thinking - the sudden awfulness could be explained a bit by the fact we lost three excellent run-blockers. Who are they? Steve Smith, Brandon LaFell, and Ben Hartsock. To my knowledge none of our tight ends or receivers are anything special in the blocking game, but those three all excelled as run blockers. Hartsock might be the biggest loss, as PFF ranked him as the best TE last year. Without a reliable edge blocker, our backs are far more limited in what they holes can anticipate.

not really, especially not for pass protection.  there have been too many runs already in the short year where the backs where hit in the backfield by DT's, you cant contribute that to the WR's.  I dont have much confidence in Amini, Turner is a rookie and we have already gone against two of the better DT's in the league.  Maybe it is time for Valesco to get more playing time, particularly at the LG spot.  then there is weird thing where the Panthers line has taken 5 or 6 games before they gelled a little bit.  you also have to consider 4 new starters outside of Kalil from last year.

      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
