Football Outsiders Draft Grade: Panthers DEAD Last

I mean, from their point of view, you can't argue it looks pretty bad.  Especially that the general consensus is we could have got these guys WAY lower in the draft than we did.   It doesn't mean they won't pan out, I expect they will, at least one, it's just the value for the round wasn't that great (though Butler pick was good value I thought).    That's really my only issue, not really at the quality of the players or if they fit with our system, but WHERE we got them.   I felt the same with Shaq as well last year.

Has this site re-graded our draft before this one's yet? lol, Are we still last?

They aren't doing the grading. They are aggregating grades from other sources to make a GPA. Blaming FO for our poor grade for this draft is like blaming the school registrar for you having a low GPA when you should be blaming the teachers who graded your tests incorrectly.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
