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

    • Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game. 
    • The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.  
    • I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
