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

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Joe Person Draft Weekend inside info

      By strato · Posted

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
