Updated Carolina Panthers power ranking from The Athletic...

 

27. Carolina Panthers

What we learned: They’ll need to get used to life without Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey could miss the next month or so with a high ankle sprain. The Panthers’ offense has not been bad through two games. The negative plays hurt them against Tampa. The Panthers had four turnovers, including a pair of interceptions and a fumble by Teddy Bridgewater. But when they stayed out of their own way, they moved the ball with 427 yards and 24 first downs. Now they’ll try to remain competent with McCaffrey.

 

So they are thinking it is still pick 4-6 for the Panthers.

Thats not what they are thinking.  Its just a power ranking not draft slot.   If you look at the schedules for the teams lower than us you see it doesnt make sense.

That seems pretty optimistic to me.

Most have us between 23 and 31 in their power rankings. I believe Football Outsiders has us with a 16.5% chance to pick number 1(highest among NFL teams). FiveThirtyEight has us as an underdog in every game except for two(Denver and Detroit). 

Seems like the pundits like us more than the stats nerds after two games.

For sure, I totally expect that we will have a higher draft pick and be better than a couple teams behind us simply due to the schedule.  Miami, Jets, Wash, Giants

We are currently tied for the lowest SOS(.500) with Atlanta through two games. Remember that will play a critical role in draft position at the end.

Can we call these threads the 'Powerless Rankings' this year? You know, spice it up and have some fun with this poo sandwich of a year?

I don't know where we are picking, I just know we are contenders for the 1st pick and will be in the running for a chunk of this year. We will see if we can squeeze out a few wins along the way...or not.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
