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

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
