Get it in now!! Go on record with your intial thought on the draft...

[WOW!!]

Time to go on record with your intial opinions on this draft class.. Drafts usually take 3 years to assess but we can still like or not like a pick early... So let's go..

1st. ..pick LOVE BROWN...My guy day 1. 

2nd .. pick.. Okay with it wanted a CB but can understand building the Dline up again.. Like Motas so nothing to complain about here..

2nd pick part 2.  . Love the pick the player and the trade was solid.. Chinn is a beast with super athletic ability.. Can't wait to see him being used like a bigger version of Honey badger..

4th ... Love the pick .  Pride was one of my guys as well..

5th ... Don't know alot about Robinson and I didn't really think we needed another safety.. So I'm ...meh... on this pick..

6th ... I knew Rhule would get one of his guys .. I wanted the other 2 Baylor boys.. Roy is another whatever pick for me..

7th .  Dont know poo about Stanley.. Would have double dipped CB earlier not Safety .. Could have gotten a developmental Olinemen.. Another whatever pick..

So in retrospect loved or liked 4 out of the 7 players .. 4 look like day 1 contributors so I really like the draft and won't poo on Hurney later if the player don't workout...

2020 We will perform well and be in games 6-10 or better.
2021 We are definitely a playoff team.
The sky is the limit past that.

Day 1 and 2 was exciting

Day 3 i think we did well

Best draft I can remeber for the Panthers

[LUUUUUKE]

Solid AF tbh!

 

Defense was HORRIBLE last year even with Luke.

 

This is what Rhule talked about. Getting great coaches and building through the draft. Well, we’re likely going to have on of the youngest defenses in the League I’d venture to say.

 

Now we get to see if these coaches can coach them up. Plenty of competition in camp if there’s even a camp or a season for that matter.

 

I give this draft an A+ based off need and how even the most casual of fans knew that we needed to restructure/rebuild the entire defense.

 

i have nothing but praise at this point, but we have to see how these guys all work out.

 

Definitely going to watch this season now, and prior to the draft, I was resigned to not buying the NFL Sunday Ticket. This draft has changed my mind.

[Double Trouble]

As a fan I'm happy we left the draft knowing there is a plan and a sense of direction. Our OL is atrocious but this team had too many holes to fill all in one draft so I get it. The road to being competitive in 2021 looks promising.

[LinvilleGorge]

Looks like a solid foundation for the D to build around. Next year's draft could be heavy on offense.

[tiger7_88]

One word...

Awesome.

(And, as I pointed out in another thread, I'm still pissed at Rhule and was perfectly ready to throw him under the bus and back up and run over him again and back up and run over him again, repeat, etc.)

Robinson was one of my favorite picks. I was a big XFL guy, and he shined in St. Louis. Very happy we picked him.

It's hard to "shine" around a ton of Veteran players in a league, when you're the youngest. He did so. I'm hoping he becomes a starter quick.

Panthers Depth Chart was so trash on defense heading into the Draft, it was to the point, if they didn't Draft all Defense it would've been a surprise. 

This is a 2-3 year process. I'm hopeful for a TL Drafting next year, and skies the limit after that.

No complaints! This draft fit hand-in-glove with the pre-draft moves in free agency! Free agency was more about Band-Aids with a little upside that may stick depending upon what happens, but the draft was all about building the team for the long term. 

I can't wait to see what transpires with the remainder of free agency and how all the puzzle pieces will fit for the bigger picture of 2020 (and that includes the UDFAs)!

[Cpt slay a ho]

Like most hurney drafts I love how it looks on paper but cautious on how it will come the season. I really liked this draft, fav pick was chinn, and it will be interesting to see how guys like Epenesa and Simmons perform, two guys we passed on in this draft.

I'm with you.  It's a really good start to building the defense.  Next year will go a long way to establishing the foundation of the team.  These new guys will have a year of nfl experience under their belt which the desperately need.  Dare I say my optimism meter just moved a bit.

I'm really high on Robinson. He and Kyle Dugger were my favorite safety prospects in this draft.

I get a sense that a coherent plan is in place with this draft.   We are in division with Brady Brees and Ryan, so that was the draft to improve our chances.  I grade this overall an A. Good work.
