The most in-depth Panthers NFL Draft Preview I've seen yet

This is exceptional:

The 2015 Carolina Panthers were a very good team for whom everything broke the right way. The 2016 Panthers were a very good team for whom everything went the other way. 

Cam Newton, according to head coach Ron Rivera, was "shook" by pressure in 2016, per ESPN.com's David Newton. The run game, which had been tremendously effective in 2015, took a turn for the worse. The offense was far less effective in the red zone. Linebacker Luke Kuechly, the team's best defensive player, missed six games due to concerns over concussions. Cornerback Josh Norman, the team's second-best defensive player in 2015, signed a multi-year deal with the Redskins. Injuries beset the offensive line, and the Atlanta Falcons decided to get really, really good in 2016, taking the NFC South by storm.

Yeah, I saw this earlier today.  I was perplexed by the rankings of certain players.  

Like Cam as a Top 5 QB.  Like uhhhhhh, what?

How the fug is Tre Boston our best rated safety?

It's called grading Tre Boston on what he was supposed to do instead of blaming him for every bad thing that happened in the secondary.

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
