So according to the very bright and very football intelligent guys at FO, Dave Gettleman's an idiot.

32. Carolina Panthers

GPA: 2.00
Highest Grade: C+ (Kiper, Silva)
Lowest Grade: C- (Prisco, Kadar)
Comments: Quantity does not equal quality, at least when it comes to Panthers cornerbacks. Dave Gettleman admitted to drafting for need in trying to replace Josh Norman, but no one was impressed with the trio of corners he came away with this year. Multiple commenters questioned the second-round selection of Samford's James Bradberry; their two harshest graders actually thought Round 5 pick Zack Sanchez was a better pick than either of the two cornerbacks Gettleman drafted first. The Carolina GM has generally earned favorable reviews for building a Super Bowl roster after inheriting a cap-strapped mess, but this is the second consecutive year the Panthers have finished in the bottom five of these rankings.

They literally just took a bunch of draft grades from across the internet and made a GPA. FO doesn't really have anything to do with it. It's a high click:low effort article that makes them money.

"As we do every year, we have compiled snap reaction grades from several reputable dumb ass draftniks for our review on which teams generated the best, worst, and most polarizing feedback following the draft."

Well, I guess Igo was right... we ain't winning the April Championship Award again this year..... tell those guys to call us in March after we hoist the Lombardi, so we can refresh exactly how bad their idea of collating dumbass draftnik's grades was.

Still waiting on all the haters that dogged his 2014 draft to go back and re grade it.  Including the UDFAs that had to be the best draft in the league that year and top to bottom and one of the best recently outside of the Seahawks a few years ago.

poo, KB, Ealy, Trai, Norwell and Bene would all go in the 1st round in a redraft.  Bene is a very good corner when playing on the outside instead of the slot (still decent in the slot).  Ealy is the weakest of that bunch, but even he has shown tons of flashes and is probably the best DE from that class until Clowney shows something.  I think he's gonna make the jump this year.

Then you throw in UDFA Philly Brown who is a starting caliber WR and Tre Boston.  2014 was straight money.

      TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
