The info and link below has a great article from Panthers.com with good video breakdown of Jermaine Carter, on his potential, and how he ended his rookie year on a high note. He could potentially take Shaq’s old spot being that Shaq will start with TD our of the picture. If Carter becomes a solid player, Marty Hurney officially had an outstanding draft last year (feelings aside). I can’t wait to see how Carter does next year. 

 

“Carter was a tackling machine at the University of Maryland, leading the Terrapins in tackles for three consecutive seasons. It appears the Panthers got a steal in the draft when they selected him in the fifth round.”

 

“He’s a three-down player. You don’t have to take him off the field,” Russ said. “His play speed stands out to me, and he has very, very good natural instincts and a very high football IQ.”

 

“He can retain information. He can pick up information. And he also can take that to the football field. Sometimes with rookies there’s a disconnect at some point in that supply chain, but he connects the dots very well and he works hard at it.”

 

Russ also likes Carter’s toughness and physicality, and both noted that he has some pass-rush ability that he didn’t get the chance to show as a rookie. At Maryland, Carter recorded 9.5 sacks.

 

As for the physical part of the equation, the self-described “football junkie” has decided to hang around Charlotte for his winter workouts.

If he can fill Shaq’s role and Smith can be depth instead of Mayo, all we need to do is extend Shaq a couple years to spread his cap hit this year and our linebackers should be set for a while. Moore, Jackson, Thomas and the potential of Carter, Gaulden and Smith is making out to be a great draft class!

He did...He screws up when he starts trading during he draft.  I can't think of too many good trades he has made---did he not trade up for Haynes? Still not seeing that.

yeah he made a trade with the L.A. Rams in last year's draft moving up from the 5th to the latter part of the 4th in order to draft Haynes if my memory serves me well.

it's been one season. things point to well now but 3-4 years from now we could look back and be like that's a hurney draft.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
