What is Your Day One Panthers Draft Grade?

B or B-: you still have Shula.... that's a major issue in and of itself. I also think CM was obtainable later on or that you couldn't get, at minimum 75-80% of his talent later on and still get a damn STUD  @ 8. 

The other big issue I have is everyone just automatically assuming he's a great multi tool player. Listen, let's be real, it's hard enough to succeed at one position in the NFL, 2 is exponentially harder... most of you that are high on this pick are automatically granting that he will excel at 3 or more positions as a slot receiver, rb, pr and/or kr. If he isn't all of the above, he's not likely to be worth half of what his draft position should get you and is by all accounts a gadget player at best and a massive bust at worst. 

In a "look back draft" 5 years from now, this may be a good or even great move. Right now it's a massive risk that odds indicate is a bad one more often than not. He can't be our full time rb, and he isn't a legit full time wr. We better evolve a few full millenniums on offense during camp is all I can say. Or just FIRE SHULA!!!!!!

Given a choice between trading up for LF and losing a good part of our draft capital or having CM plus the 2 second rounders and a 3rd, it's a no brainer. We did the right thing.

A+

Horseshit pick. Doesn't even deserve a grade. A grade means something was accomplished and nothing was fuging done other than reaching for a likely shitty ass nfl player.

Some people here are really salty but i bet you'll be able to find them sporting a Christian McCaffrey jersey come this time next year. He's just that talented.

Easy. They get an A.

Solve our slot WR issue, our RB issue, and our returner issue all in one. The fact he's the best slot and the 2nd best pure runner makes it all the more better.

since he does that many things and since we had such a good free agency, that sets us up to draft a lot smarter for the rest of the draft too in my opinion. We don't have any pressing needs left in my opinion. 

We COULD use a younger DE, younger safteys, db depth, OT depth, a better speed WR other than Charles Johnson. I think our main need going into the draft was just juice to the damn stagnant offense which we addressed.

I would say A-  . 

A+ would would have been :

* Get Adams or Solomon Thomas at 8 

A would have been : 

* Get Fornette at 8 

Would have given a B for Barnett , Howard, Ross, Corey Davis 

Would have given a C for any CB , DT, LB, 

Would have given a D for any OT at 8

I would say B. Not as amped about McCaffery as most. I think we left some better players out there. Hopefully he is able to make an impact.

I (incomplete)

Need to see the Panthers execute a decent screen pass before I can grade properly.

A+. The Godfather strikes again!
