Pro Bowlers: 4 (LB Luke Kuechly, pictured, DT Kawann Short, G Trai Turner, CB Josh Norman)

Summary: Carolina ranks 7 despite having the fewest selections on the board, a credit to GM Dave Gettleman. In addition to the Pro Bowlers, Carolina has found solid contributors in Star Lotulelei and Kelvin Benjamin and should benefit going forward after thrusting 2016 rookie cornerbacks James Bradberry and Daryl Worley into starting roles


One of the most interesting aspects of this is that Carolina has been the most efficient drafting team in the NFL.  Using their metric (2.4 points per pick). The closest team is the chiefs at 2.1 points per pick. Here is their metric:

So here is the formula we used: teams scored 5 points for Pro Bowl player (when the nomination occurred while on the team's roster), 3 points for a 2016 starter and 1 point for a 2016 rostered player (IR counts). Additional Pro Bowl nods earned and extra point and players traded or lost for value (trades or compensatory picks) yield a point, too. Here are the rankings, organized by total points. See where your team falls.

 

Another note of interest: 


The Panthers have only made 28 draft selections over the course of 5 years, which is crazy if you consider the average is 40.

If you remove the 2012 draft, which was Hurney, the Panthers have only drafted 21 players in 4 years, 11 players lower than the NFL average over the same time period.

Gettleman seems to target certain players at certain positions and has no problems making moves to get them especially later in the draft. He preaches best player available which I believe is true in Round 1 & 2 but in rounds 3-7 I think he starts going for need and has no problems making trades to get the guy he wants.

I agree with this. He is all about BPA in round 1 but he's proven as early as round 2 he will reach or trade up for a need.

Such a flawed formula they used. 

5 points for a pro bowler

3 points for player being a  2016 stater. ( we got points for Tre Boston then lol)

1 point for being a rostered player. 

Well, it may not seem like a great formula, but it's the same for every team.... so, even by these modest standards we've gotten more value than any other team.  Throw in a few extra points for Luke's DROY & DPOY and our haul looks pretty sweet...

It might be flawed but let's be honest Gettleman has done a pretty good job drafting. He won't hit on every pick that would be impossible but he has found some great talent and this formula didn't even include undrafted FA.

Quoting this for emphasis.

I wouldn't say it's him going for a need, as much as he sees a player slipping that they have a high value for.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
