2019 Draft Looking Solid!

The 2019 draft could be one of Hurney’s best drafts overall. Perhaps Tepper knows what he is doing as it was stated his influence was considered on this draft... Let’s look at the picks shall we?

1. Brian Burns- seems safe to say he is the real deal and possible defensive rookie of the year. We wanted more pressure on the QBs and he has delivered. Three cheers for Spidey!

2. Greg Little- he has concussion issues, but looks to be the real deal at LT. Something that was missed since Gross retired many moons ago. SEC linemen are usually good picks (see Turner and Daley).

3. Will Grier- he remains the big question of this draft. Allen has played so well we haven’t had to see Grier play yet. However if we trade Allen or Cam in the offseason, Grier should be the backup QB of the future for a cheap price. Regardless he seems to have the arm and now gets to sit back and learn the offense.

4. Christian Miller- his mustache alone makes him worth the pick! On a side note, he has several sacks and many pressures as a 4th round rookie. Looks to have a lot of talent and should get better as he had limited games played in college. Another solid SEC lineman.

5. Jordan Scarlett- looked like the real deal in preseason, but has not had an opportunity to play any regular season snaps. He is third on our depth chart and happens to play behind the MVP of the league in CMC, but he is cheap depth at worst. Not bad for a 5th rounder.

6. Dennis Daley- graded out as one of the league’s top LTs in one of his two starts. Should give Little a run for his money as the future LT for the Carolina Panthers. I would say he is the biggest steal if the draft when you look at value. Another solid SEC lineman.

7. Terry Godwin- late round picks are easy to miss on. Many of us were favs of his during the preseason. With our WR depth looking thin, we could use him now... however, he was snatched up by the Jags.

 

Overall looks like a solid draft to me... We solidified both our defensive and offensive line and got some depth behind CMC.

It looks like a strong group and a lot of credit should go to our scouting department and Hurney. On the Godwin note: we aren't privy to things like how well he was learning the playbook and if he was listening to his position coaches well. There's a lot of the evaluation process that outsiders will never understand.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
