Every year their draft analysis is just them whining that they were wrong and we did not pick OL.

"First round pick sucks because it did not address a need.  Next two picks suck because they did not address the need we said you would address."

It is almost as if Dave is doing it just to both them.

4) CAROLINA PANTHERS: It takes three years to fully evaluate a draft class, but this Panthers haul certainly missed the mark when it came to filling the team's biggest needs.

 GRADE: C-

2014

CAROLINA PANTHERS: Since winning the division last season with a patchwork roster, the Panthershave lost two franchise players (WR Steve Smith and OT Jordan Gross) and a host of key contributors. Although Gettleman has plugged a few holes in free agency, the team needed to find a few blue-chippers at marquee positions to remain among the NFC's elite.

CAROLINA PANTHERS: Ron Rivera needs to rectify the Panthers' leaky defense to help the team make a run at the postseason. The defensive-minded head coach took steps to remedy the problem by adding two defensive tackles in the early rounds.

Most of the guys in the media are just like most Panther fans.  After the first 50 players, they have no clue about anyone.  Everyone picked from here on out, except for someone like Connor Cook (who they HAVE heard of) will be an iffy pick.

Whoever gets Cook will get an A

Daniel Jeremiah and Mayock both do in depth scouting and tapes and interviews with scouts.  They get out of the first round, so to speak, and both had high marks for Bradberry.

Who cares what your neighbor or any of these quick trigger talking heads have to say about something they have never studied?

It's only somebody's opinion, but it's more than enough to put some on suicide watch. 

Prospect rankings and draft round projections are also only opinions, usually from obscure sports writers who probably only saw 1 or 2 plays of game tape if any. Some consider them to be a whole lot more than that and respond in ridiculous ways when our GM's picks don't align exactly with them.

It always makes me laugh when these people preach "oh you could've waited a few more rounds to draft a DT. There is DEPTH at this position in this draft!" So what, we can wait to get a mediocre prospect in the 5th round that would've went in the 3rd any other year? Meanwhile if there's a monster in the first round that falls into our lap let's just pass on that opportunity because again, we can wait later and pick up a lesser prospect.

Proof once again that Gman knows quite a bit more than whoever the hell is giving out these grades.

You nailed it. We hear this "WTF are they doing?" crap every year from so called experts and also the reactionary fans. Both groups are always more wrong than right each year.

    • I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).
    • I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move 
    • While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
