Doesn't trade up. Plays safe for his token 1st round gem. Trades back multiple times and doesn't address holes. We don't have a backup QB. JT Barrett in 7th would have been nice. Linebackers galore and defensive tackle when we have plenty. Adios hurney

#2 WR/Offensive Playmaker : ✓

#2/3 CB who can play man and zone : ✓

FS who can cover the slot and also tackle and blitz : ✓ 

#2 TE who can block and catch: ✓

More pass rush : ✓

LB/Dline depth : ✓

Idk man we filled a lot of holes.

How predictable, and pretty dumb.

Yeah this draft was. Typical hurney conservatism. JR was in his ear. What was the point of having the extra third to just trade back and take camp fodder? When we could have literally thrown that to trade for something worth the damn. Hurneys ego is unbelievable.

If history can repeat itself AGAIN, we have a legit WR now! Makes this draft worth something! Who knows, we may get lucky and have a stud among the rest of the draft but I wouldn’t get my hopes up as it has only happened 3 times, 4 including Mathis. Hitting like the Saints did last year is rare, however, take comfort that we will have a new GM drafting next year and WR shouldn’t be a pressing need

Time will tell with Moore.

Corner who will not start.

Free Safety who wasn't a free safety.

#2 te for depth chart. That guy has no production.

We have plenty of pass rush and do depth. At that point we needed qb/rb/true safety

 

fuging boring and the whitest draft ever.

Got a possible true number 1 WR (first time since Smith left and Cam approves). Got a fast starting CB to compliment Bradberry. Got a starting safety that can line up and guard TEs and slot WRs. Got a TE that needs a year or two behind Olsen and could develop into our starter. Lastly got younger depth for our defensive line and linebackers late in the draft. Seems solid to me. I mean it’s always going to be a gamble and every guy you want will not get drafted by the Panthers (we are lucky they drafted one in D.J. Moore that most of us wanted).

Pretty sure he will emerge as the no.1 WR and I was against the pick!

CB will be #3 for awhile, then perhaps cut loose, but who knows

The S will be our Colin Jones 2.0

Ian Thomas is intriguing! He may be Hurney’s fifth ever Non 1st rounder to become a legit starter.

The rest are camp fodders. Accept it. Norton may push Love for a roster spot and the LB from UNC could be good depth and Mayo insurance on the short term.

Hurney absolutely did not make the "safe" picks on day one or two (when it really really matters), he chose the guys with the it-factor and higher upside. He did this with our round 4 pick as well. After that, it was all about value and upside. No need to reach with even late round picks when you can probably patch any more perceived holes with seasoned vets.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Bad teams with new coaches that want to make a splash with big passing games kill young QBs. Solid teams that can lean on the run and play-action give a chance for QBs fresh out of college to grow and learn how to dictate a game. A lot of these guys, and maybe even Bryce, aren't horrible but they are being asked to go in and be something unrealistic. They are expected to be able to put out raging dumpster fires after being handed a bucket and being told to go find some water.  And I think we see some of these guys who were labeled as busts eventually developing into serviceable, sometimes decent, sometimes quite good QBs when they land at a well-built team with good coaching and a solid identity. Mayfield, and Darnold are two that come to mind right now. And the two Joneses are certainly showing more in Indy and San Fran than they'd ever really shown before. But we're a shoddily built team that has been weakly coached into a softer style of football that puts crazy amounts of pressure on young QBs. Heck, even Andy Dalton with his experience really couldn't sustain any results here.

      Smitty goes off on CLT on WFNZ

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      1. Charlotte has been very good to Smitty and his comment is out of line.  2. XL is Smitty, just 180 degrees out of phase. He is the quintessential anti-Smith. Give 89 the ball and he will win a game for you. His high gear was terrifying and he was fearless. He was the bully on every snap he ever played here.  XL is Mr alligator arms who lives in fear of contact. He gets boxed out by guys he outweighs by 40 pounds and looks generally clueless.  Why he has chosen to defend someone he would have BBQ’ed as a teammate stumps me.

      Fake outrage from an entertainer... And yes he would have absolutely chewed him out on the field for that kind play.
