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

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
