Don't look for a big move to replace Josh Norman

Horrible draft. Had some instant impact players in:

1 - Emmanuel Ogbah DE

2 - Shilique Calhoun DE

3 - Miles Killebrew SS

Plus the Panthers keep a pick since they would not need to trade up.

The two DEs instantly challenge Kony Ealy and Charles Johnson for starting spots. Major impact in the rotation. Allows Kony Ealy to rotate into the DT spot on passing downs. Killebrew would be the starting SS day 1. These are the type of players that Kuechly can make better quickly. Killebrew is basically a rookie Kuechly at SS.

Instead, the Panthers go with 3 projects who will sit on the bench most of the season and both CBs have the potential to be deactivated or put on the practice squad for a majority of the season. Finnegan and McClain are better options than Bradberry and Worley. Butler, Bradberry and Worley are going to frustrate Kuechly with their style of play. It is unbelievable that the Panthers gave up an extra pick for Worley.

There were only a handful of CBs worth drafting. The rest are just as good as UDFA's and street free agents like Finnegan and McClain.

Missed opportunities!

I am being reminded of the 2014 off season with a much worse draft.

Butler is definitely not a project, and the CBs aren't "projects." The seem raw, but DG doesn't draft "projects" this early.

He did this year. Go watch what happens to Butler against run blocking every game he played in 2015 outside of the the no scheme Senior Bowl.

I guarantee you right now Worley will not only be a bust, but he will be a major distraction in the locker room. He was the worst DB on the field for the Mountaineers.

As for Bradberry... look for 21 on just about every Louisville highlight. He does not like contact, playing aggressive, or taking proper angles to the ball. Awareness is bad.

Major project. Dog house candidate.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
