The Panthers signed three of their seven draft picks to their rookie deals on Thursday night, including first-rounder Christian McCaffrey. Also signed were as offensive tackle Taylor Moton (second round) and fullback Alex Armah (sixth round). McCaffrey was the No. 8 pick out of Stanford.

Yeah I saw something a couple days ago on NFL Network that said in 2010, the year before Cam was drafted not a single first round pick was signed by June.  If there is an upside to sucking besides getting Cam, we picked a good year to suck!

Here's a question to ponder:
If there had been a rookie cap in place back in 96, what kind of career might Tshimanga Biakabutuka have had?


He had so much talent but just couldn't stay healthy. I still remember that Washington game where he was tearing it up in the first half and we took him out in the second half for Fred Lane....

    • I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.
    • Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
