Literally the worst draft in Panthers history


RumHam

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
