So this is what happens when GM’s and HC’s are trying to save their jobs.  They reach against the strength of drafts. Hurney traded up to get Little.  And in this list he is only one step Isiah Wilson who I have seen mocked in the 3rd round.
No better reason we are in the current situation with our rosters.  Hurney has constantly not taken advantage of position strength of drafts.

You can only draft the players in the draft that year.  Teams cannot possibly look forward.  This is why I think the whole concept of "Tank for Trevor" is so asinine.  What if TL has a career ending injury this year?  Even a career threatening injury that the outcome is uncertain for.  Stupid.

Draft according to your grades on the players available that year.

I don't think we will have a problem being top 5 next year either way. Tanking I think just makes people feel we are in control of that some way.

While I get the intention,... no one really knows who is going to boom or bust....

look at all the booms and busts against professional and fan wants each year.

jonah Williams for example may turn out to be as solid as his draft ranking— he didn’t get a chance with injury. Time will tell.  I’m sure if any had a crystal ball and knew he would get hurt he would have fell to the 5th round or worst.

no one knows.

To the guys credit in his same positional rankings he did predict the biggest bust potential as Funchess and Kelvin, in each's draft year. But I agree, its a crapshoot.

  I remember being “pounded” on for even suggesting  last year’s LT class was poor. Hmmm.....
 

  It doesn’t take a crystal ball......

To be fair, that was pretty much the consensus opinion of the draftniks and the scouting community.

  Not on here. Like you said, it was never a secret. But with a need at the position, the usual “overrating” of any potential Panther has to be done.

Yeah, I mean, every fan base does that. It just goes with the territory.

  Of course. But having ones opinion blasted by highly biased fans with little to no knowledge of the sport is always a treat. 
 

my favorite was that I hated the SEC because I didn’t think Greg Little was a good pick. LOL!!’

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
