Last year's draft grades:

SBNation, C+.  "The Panthers went into the Draft with wide receiver as their top need and came out of the first day with a boom-bust prospect in Kelvin Benjamin"

 

Nfl.com, C+.  "Gettleman couldn't address all of the team's biggest needs during the draft, but he snatched up a handful of athletic talents with upside."

 

Prisco, D.  "I didn't like their first two picks in Benjamin and pass rusher Kony Ealy. They had other needs. They needed to pick an offensive tackle and they didn't."

Let's hope the "experts" are equally right this year. :)

I don't think our special teams will be second to anyone this year.  I think our defense will continue to be top 5. 

 

So, looking at the offense, we are going to be better at RB, OT, and WR--and QB

Most base grades off " did they fill needs " .

Plus grading the draft a day after is beyond dumb. I don't like the draft class AT ALL, but I waiting til the start of season two before I go super emo on this class.

I have the feeling this class will need more time to show if I'm wrong, anyways. They may need three years, we'll see.

Edit: For record I really like the last two drafts, didn't agree on a couple picks BUT understood the value was too good. This draft was really weird all around.

"They needed to pick an offensive tackle and they didn't."

 

I wonder which available OT he would have grabbed at 28. Moses? I think we got way more mileage out of our #1 by taking the 6'5" WR instead of the 6'6" OT who sat out with a foot injury.

Change that C+ to an A. KB was a boom.

those are grades are for the whole draft. We didn't take an OT the whole draft. If you were grading the Panthers, the grade would be "Downright Idiotic F"

Only excuse could be if there were no OTs better than Bell and Chandler in that draft, but nobody is going to believe that when grading the draft

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
