Football Outsiders Draft Grade: Panthers DEAD Last

"Comments: Brown liked the Panthers’ selection of quarterback Cam Newton, and thought the third-round additions of Terrell McClain and Sione Fua will improve the defensive tackle situation. Cole gave general manager Marty Hurney a “D” for the disaster potential of the Newton pick."

This is a prime example of why draft grades are straight trash. Garbage. 

Also, they rank the Jags near the top every year, and how has that turned out for them?

In summary, draft grades are retarded. Draft grades being retarded means that people who freak out over drafting Bradberry are retarded.

Sports writers who never made it as GMs, scouts, nor coaches have no credibility. They're just guessing based on limited information. If they were true experts then they'd be working for a NFL team and making more money. That being said, I don't like the DBs we have, and I know next to nothing about the CBs we've added. It appears to me that we're loading the front 7 to hide our mediocre DBs. That's our system. Nothing wrong with that. We can't afford a great front 7 and great DBs. No team can in the long run.

exactly, but what if your wrong and our CB and DB's we have added are actually good? Dominate top 5 Defense to go along with Cam... like those odds.

If any area I think is weak turns out to be good that's a huge win. I don't know the odds, but I want our picks to be Josh Norman 2.0s.

The difference between their grades and Gettleman evaluations is first of all we pick guys who fit our scheme which might not be as highly rated as other guys who are talented but don't fit our scheme. Secondly we pick athletic big guys who get downgraded because they are raw or not NFL ready right now. But we pick them because we have a great coaching staff who can get them ready and the patience not to throw them in there until they are ready.

We pick guys who fit our scheme and plan for the long haul. So flash and being NFL ready aren't big factors for us but are for the media guys judging us. Hence the schism.

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.

i think SI or some other site published a 2014 re-draft and i think three of our selections were graded as first rounders

I don't think Norwell, Bene, and Ealy would be first round picks in a re draft.  There is a lot of players to chose from and only 32 spots. Maybe one of them but certainly not all.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
