The Panthers have the consensus top draft so far?

[Eazy-E]

Going through draft grades from a bunch of different outlets and I have yet to see a grade lower than an A. Most seem to think we landed 3 impact day one starters and I have yet to see any other team who can also claim that. Lets hope we can keep it up and hopefully add a cornerback or two.

What do you guys think? Is there another team you think that has had a better draft than the Panthers through 3 rounds?

I think we've got the best draft so far...  Miami think did well including tua but they got a poo ton of pics. 

With the nfc south arguably having the best qb play in football I'm glad were committed to stopping them. Teddy and the offense will put up points.

All of it is just on paper until we see what they do when they hit the field, but so far I’m in love with this draft. I think we are hitting it out of the park. The only other team immediately off hand that I think is crushing it is the Cowboys

i feel like we've had a pretty bad draft.

vikings, ravens, browns, saints, 49ers, cowboys all seem to be doing p good.

Lol proudiddy thinks it might be hurney's worst 1st round 2nd round combo EVER?

 

lol wut?

[saX man]

We are using Hurney and Morrow's work for Rhule to select and honestly, we've got 3 guys who will be getting significant paying time with super high floors and honestly, not a ton of negatives from what I see.  No BC Gaulden, Edwards, Clausen type choice.  We went out and got legit talent this year.

This Chinn pick is really good IMO.

The things you look for to determine if you did well in the draft don’t always equate to the player living up to the potential that you hope. Winning the draft isn’t always something to brag about. The key to look for is a consensus that the team filled a need and got someone that fits what they want to do. Getting a vote of confidence that your front office and coaching staff are one the same page and getting quality should be the win we all are hoping for, not the media nitpicking at every little decision we make I.E. Mike Mayock, Dave Gettleman, etc.

I had no doubt that Hurney and Rhule working together would nail the picks.

I knew Rhule would have a better idea of college talent then Rivera.. So that's a major plus..

This draft feels different in the sense that I feel we are actually drafting contributing players. IF we land 3 day one starters..I would say this draft was an absolute home run

Those guys are starter by default.  Wouldn't have mattered who was drafted they are starting whether they are ready or starter quality.  That's how depleted this roster is.

Early draft grades are like movie reviews based on nothing but a plot synopsis.

Carolina Panthers

One overlooked aspect of hiring a recently-imported head coach from college football is that they bring with them a unique perspective on the incoming draft class. Matt Rhule recruited for and competed against a good deal of 2020 players, as he spoke about with our Albert Breer, and he’s handling the board as such.

It’s hard not to imagine that Rhule got Week 1 starters with each of his first three picks—Derrick Brown, Yetur Gross-Matos and Jeremy Chinn. This was a foundational draft for the Panthers, who seem to be expediting any kind of rebuilding process. At nearly every critical position this winter and spring, they’ve gotten cheaper, younger and faster
