A statistical look back of the last 5 drafts

[joemac]

Check this out, I just came across this article:

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/04/nfl-draft-performance-grades-best-drafting-teams-picks-classes-2012-2016

Which is from FTW at USA Today. It takes a look back at the last 5 years of drafts, starting with 2012, and gives numerical value to each pick based off of a formula they came up.

We rank number 2, right behind Seattle. I think this article really shows us how amazing we have actually drafted since DG came to town. Good stuff.

And Seattle just had a really great draft in 2012 to rank higher than us. 

But, the highest graded season we had on there was from hurney. At least Gettleman hasnt gone negative since getting here

[joemac]

We are the only team to have an overall positive score for each year. The Patriots have two years with a 0.00 grade. Everyone else has at least one negative draft grade.

with 28 total picks......far less than most teams

DG is a darn solid drafter. 

Not without head scratchers, but solid none the less.

You're a head scratcher. Haven't you been complaining about the draft we just had?

Only complained about 1 pick. 

Overall I like the draft. 

Just worried Shula will not be able to utilize CMC and Samuel.

So the Panthers best draft was 2012, which was Hurney's last. Interesting.

Ron had a big hand in evaluating Cam & Luke.

I believe Shaq was a Ron pick as well in order to stay in 4-3 base

Hurney wouldn't have lasted so long here if he sucked at everything.  Listening to the Scouts during the draft process is something he did right.

But we passed up Landry and Robinson for KB. 

Landon Collins for Shaq. 

Dodd, Ogbah, Hunter Henry and Derrick Henry for Butler

I really doubt I can reason with you but I'm going to try my best because you're just. So childish.

Everyone, EVERYONE passed up on Landry. Twice. He was never a first round pick. I liked him a lot and wanted him, but we didn't get him. You bitch about KB but guess who had more yards and touchdowns last year between him and Robinson, despite Jacksonville passing way more. And before you come with the "Cam is better than Bottles" retort, Cam is also better than Tanehill, its arguable that Bottles is too.

Landon Collins had severe coverage concerns, and still has some issues and lapses. It helps that he plays with two of the better CBs in New York and an elite, expensive D-line. I can almost promise you he would not have excelled in our defense the same way with two rookie corners and an iffy D-line. Shaq has done well for our team and closed out the season amazingly well for us. With Klien gone he's gonna get a Lot More snaps. 

Dodd had 5 tackles and 1 sack in 9 games, 1 start. Ogbah had 28 tackles and 5.5 sacks in 16 starts. Butler had 13 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 10 games, no starts. I can't speak for the other guys, but when Butler was in and healthy, he played very well. Nevermind the fact that all of the mentioned players were rookies last year, but I'm going to assume because you liked those players more from YouTube videos you're gonna say Gettleman made the wrong choice.

Fact of the matter is, EVERYONE fuging makes wrong picks, passes over a player who is really good for someone who is a bust. Look at all the teams that passed over Trai Turner, a guy who would no doubt be a first round pick if he had stayed another year, because he didn't have a lot of film on him. And out of all the teams for all the players you mentioned, only two of then have made the playoffs since drafting any of those players. And both of then were last year. Both were first round exits too. God knows how many draft picks those teams missed on, especially teams like the Bills (E.J. Manuel over players like Kyle Long, Tyler Eifert, Desmond Trufant, and Deondre Hopkins, Sammy Watkins over OBJ come to mind.) And Browns (lmao) have made alone.

Instead you just pick on recent memory because you like those players more and because they did good, you want them. There's plenty of picks for every team where they can look back and say "we should've drafted that player." No team, no GM is 100%. Funny thing is none of these players are bad. Sure Kelvin has his issues and last year was a down year for him, but even then he preformed better than one of the guys you say we should've drafted. If you know so well who should and shouldn't be drafted, why are you posting on the Carolina Huddle instead of you know, being a GM of an NFL team?

Now, finally I am here posting on a forum site instead of sitting in Philly this past weekend with Mike Mayock bc because. My counselors in HS were terrible and they gave me bad advice. They didn't tell me to go with my dreams. Instead they told me what they thought I could and couldn't do. 

At least it wasn't your fault.

Tell me you didn't have bad counselors

My HS counselor didn't have much for me. I was accepted at the only school I applied to (University of Miami) which was rated 3rd in the country in Marine Biology.

I fugged it up not him. But I did have a great time so it wasn't a total waste. :)
