also goes along with this thread:

Per league sources, NFL Draft has 16-19 top players; "20th pick same as 50th pick"

the smaller amount of high-end talent in this draft makes it tougher on GMs, but fortunately Gettleman has assembled a top-notch scouting department and he knows which of our scouts to trust the most:

like the scout said:

"I love this draft, I absolutely love it," he said. "This is a scout's draft. If you are the average GM and you didn't go see these kids play a lot this year and you weren't watching film all year, you're screwed. You have to have watched the tape all season. You have to have really seen these kids, and there is no way you can find the time to watch all 12 games on them in the offseason. You have to have seen these players develop all year long to have the right track on them.

"This is my kind of a draft. Am I saying this group is loaded with Pro Bowlers? No. But there are some really good players who are going to go on the second and third day who, I'm telling you, are going to be better than a lot of kids who go on the first day. You just have to know where to find them."

etc

No disagreement here.  There are a few intriguing safety prospects in this draft, but none that excite me at #25.  The TE class looks like hot trash.  Maybe the worst in recent memory.  Terrible year to need a TE.  I haven't paid much attention to the ILB class for obvious reasons.

Perfect angle to take, and so true. Guys like Rob Crisp and Andrew Donnell could end up surpassing the TJ Clemmings and Ereck Flowers of this draft, IMO. Same can be said at so many positions..... It's times like this that we should all be thankful for a GM like Gettleman.

Damn, I can't wait till tomorrow night!

The 16-19 players with a first round grade thing is a bit overplayed. I heard Polian on the radio say the average draft usually only has 22 or 23 players with a first round grade per team. Less than average but it's not some terrible draft at the top.

      Film on Panthers defensive failure. Same scheme issue over and over

      By SCO96 · Posted

      Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.

      How about some line help, both sides, first. Trade XL before talking about a 1st round WR 3 years in a row. Or a TE or...drum roll...a QB to pair with a vet.  And if it's not a speedy route guy with hands then just hard pass.
