Bucky Brooks gives the Panthers an A-

On their 2014 Draft

 

Critics will suggest that the Panthers' sub-.500 record is indicative of a disappointing season, but the team claimed the NFC South title and won a playoff game -- thanks in no small part to the efforts of a superb 2014 class. The team got a 1,000-yard season from Kelvin Benjamin, who provided the NFL with a glimpse of his potential dominance as a WR1. Trai Turner shored up the interior of the offensive line and paved the way for Jonathan Stewart to make an impact in key moments. The defense started to flex its muscles when Tre Boston and Bene' Benwikere were inserted into the secondary down the stretch. Benwikere in particular played exceptionally well over the final month of the season, blanketing premier receivers in one-on-one coverage. With Carolina also receiving solid contributions from an undrafted free agent (receiver Philly Brown), there is a lot to like about the Panthers' rookie class.

Brooks was the only one that had Benwikere mocked to us last year. It was like his mock 7.0 or something, but he had him on the Panthers.

I respect these experts' opinions about personnel more than those of many (not necessarily in any order):

1. Greg Cosell

2. Gil Brandt

3. Mike Mayock

4. Bucky Brooks

Meh...still think the team had a ton to improve on and I'm sorry, back to back champs really doesn't mean much, had we lost that last ATL game I don't think I'd feel any different, we won the division because the division sucked. I just can't be happy with 7-9 winning the division or not we should have been better and we'll need to be better.

    • Yooooooooo... WTF is this hairline bro??? It's OVER! Shave it off my man!
    • He's a free agent next year actually. Wish we had the balls to bring him in to compete, looking around the league though he might get a legit starting offer or at least an offer to compete somewhere that he would control his own destiny. 
    • I don't love Bryce Young.  I DO understand his abilities as a QB. I dont expect him to do things that are beyond that. I also dont hold it against him.  The ability to throw 40 yards in with the velocity to take your receivers hands off, doesn't have the impact on the game as people think it does.  I think it's a pretty silly thing to even attempt to debate, when the ones crying about it doesn't add context.   Bryce can and does throw deep.  His last TD to T-Mac was a thing of beauty,   and the ball placement was incredible,  especially for the distance of the throw.  I get it y'all want to talk all day about his physical limitations, rather than look at what he does, and does well.  We wouldn't be playing meaningful football in December without him.  That is a fact.  Bryce doesn't fit the mold of my type of QB, but I don't hold that against him. That is beyond stupid.
