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-

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.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
