Pro Football-Focus does not do a ton of college player grading, so take this for what its worth.  They note that our UDFA Peters was their highest rated CB in the draft:

 

Garry Peters, CB, Clemson, Carolina Panthers

While White and Hill impressed, it was Peters who finished the season as our highest-graded cornerback. Allowing a mere 233 yards in coverage all season, allowing a mere 0.62 Yards Per Coverage snap in 2014. He needs to work on not being as grabby with contact, something he’ll be flagged for much more in the NFL, but Peters is a rough diamond who could develop really well in Carolina if given time.

4.6 40 so he doesn't have good deep speed. His three cone and short shuttle are elite though so he has extremely good change of direction and short area quickness. Never watched him play much but based on his numbers I'd say he fits best in a cover 2.

Norman has 4.66 speed. In fact his combine and proday numbers were fairly average to awful. Drill numbers aren't everything.

Clemson fan explain to me again why he went undrafted if he's this good?

Him and the other 20% of league starters. I think his lack of speed downgraded him, and even though he was All-ACC, he wasn't a starter until last season. I think he's got a lot to learn.

Has a good shot. White and Byndom are the #4 & #5 CBs, both are also undrafted. Plus only Bene is under contract beyond this season in the starting trio.

 

Dang that's true, Gettleman has been talking about not having a revolving door in the secondary though so I'm thinking Norman is re-signed...but he might be too expensive if he has a big year.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
