Observers "complete" guide to the draft

Recommended Posts

The newest Panther beat writer, Alaina Getzenberg,  has been writing some solid articles.  This one is a good summary of the team, depth, team needs, potential players etc.  One section I found interesting was the one about the NFC South free agency moves:

Quote

 

Panthers lost: QB Cam Newton, QB Kyle Allen, CB James Bradberry, G Trai Turner, TE Greg Olsen, G Greg Van Roten, OL Daryl Williams, DT Dontari Poe, DE Mario Addison, DE Vernon Butler, S Eric Reid.

Panthers signed: QB Teddy Bridgewater, WR Robby Anderson, S Tre Boston, WR Pharoh Cooper, LT Russell Okung, WR Seth Roberts, WR Keith Kirkwood, QB P.J. Walker, LB Tahir Whitehead, G John Miller, DE Stephen Weatherly.

The Panthers had a very busy free agency period. From changing starting quarterback to losing veterans on both lines, Carolina has a lot of rebuilding to take care of in the draft. They did bring in significant depth at wide receiver and helped fortify the offense, but there are still a lot of holes left by defensive starters to be filled.

Buccaneers notable additions and departures:
Lost: QB Jameis Winston, RB Peyton Barber, DE Carl Nassib

Signed: QB Tom Brady, TE Rob Gronkowski

Saints notable additions and departures:
Lost: QB Teddy Bridgewater, LB A.J. Klein, S Vonn Bell

Signed: WR Emmanuel Sanders, S Malcom Jenkins

Falcons notable additions and departures:
Lost: RB Devonta Freeman, TE Austin Hooper, DE Adrian Clayborn, LB Vic Beasley, CB Desmond Trufant

Signed: EDGE Dante Fowler, RB Todd Gurley, TE Hayden Hurst

that lost/gained list reads like a 1st team/2nd team depth chart

I take back everything I've said, we actually may get the 1st pick next season.

We are 100% getting either the 1 or 2 pick.  Think about it.  New coach, new coordinator, new d coordinator, no mini camps, new qb, the overall losses on defense that was already historically bad, relying on a ton of udfa rookies and a decimated oline.  Bro I can promise you this is a 4 win at best team.

4 wins isn't "good enough" to get the 1st overall pick 

 

That's the issue with waiting to take a QB

by the way, I just went to sling and it looks they are letting everyone watch the NFL Draft tonight (at least) free.  I have the NFL Network streaming now and did not sign up for a free trial or give a credit card to them.

 

They are also offering happy hour, free between 5pm and midnight everyday.  I wonder how long that lasts

    • That depends on where he's at because if you look at his first 3 seasons before he got sick he had 49 rec as a rookie followed by 56 and then his pro bowl season he had 103 rec. If he's somewhere between seasons 2 and 3 then that wouldn't be bad at all. We'll have to wait and see but from the few clips I've seen and the comments I've heard and read I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case. Personally, I'm really pulling for him and I think he's going to be the comeback player of the year. 
    • More praise of Renfrow from Tim Weaver (formerly of USA Today's Panthers Wire, now SI.com), and also what I told some of you, my Huddle friends, from the start: keep it all in perspective, and don't conveniently---and perhaps unfairly, discount and label Renfrow as a JAG when it was a very debilitating illness affecting his play.    "It's understandable to be skeptical about Renfrow's abilities at this late point in his career. After all, he missed all of last season due to a bout of ulcerative colitis that also took a serious toll on his production in 2022 and 2023."   When Renfrow is healthy, he's an above average guy. Being 29 may hurt or help his chances depending upon perspective, but 29 for receivers generally means that there's still (sometimes plenty) gas in the tank. Renfrow also obviously has plenty of motivation and has come with his game face.   "Then agan, seeing is believing and by all accounts Renfrow has been very impressive since joining the Panthers a few months ago... Where Renfrow will fit in Carolina's new-look receiver corps remains to be seen, but at this rate it's going to be hard to exclude him from the initial 53-man roster." https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/hunter-renfrow-sick-route-panthers-training-camp Read the room, ladies and gentlemen. And don't get it twisted; Renfrow isn't the most talented receiver on the team, but we have seen his ceiling, when healthy, in a Raiders offense that wasn't necessary replete with talent. Consider what he can do, especially in the slot, in a Panthers offense primed with young talent (no pun intended). From sick to "sick routes," eh?
