6/7 = 86%


Expected pickup rate: 56 percent
Actual vs. expected: +30 percent (third)

 

GM Marty Hurney selected Newton and Kuechly before Dave Gettleman took over for the 2013 through 2017 drafts (and Gettleman was fired after the 2017 draft). The Panthers have consistently drafted stars when picking among the top 10, from Julius Peppers (2002) and Jordan Gross (2003) to the players in the table

Saw a stat recently that DJ was #9 on an all time “total receiving yards for a player under the age of 23” list. I think CMC was 19 or 20 on the same list that was made up of 18 receivers and Gronk. 
 

Random stat but impressive nonetheless to have both of these guys on the roster at the same time.

How hard is it to get a good player when you are constantly picking near the top of the draft though? I mean most of the guys we have drafted are guys regular ass Joes on here say we should draft. It doesn't take a rocket science to pick a great player in the top 15. Then again a lot of teams blow it somehow so idk

DJ might become the best in the league with Brady and a QB not named Allen or Grier

He’s underrated and I don’t think he’s even reached his ceiling. If he develops even a hint of a Steve Smith chip on his shoulder every DB in the league better take notice.

Put Moore in the slot and good luck to defenses

      Brown on BY9 while talking to Chris Long

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 2 Rd 3 7pm

      By organicrusty1201 · Posted

      I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
