The Panthers are currently in line for the 9th pick of the draft.  Don’t be fooled by this. There are currently 6 teams with 3 wins and the Panthers are ahead because they have played more games than all but Atlanta.  Our SOS has fallen to .537, which keeps us ahead of Atlanta (.541), but will be behind the Lions (.504), Vikings (.507), and Patriots (.522), all of whom have only played in 8 games so far.

Here are the games that could improve our draft position if we were to lose this weekend to the Bucs.

1)      Bengals @ Steelers: A Bengals win would move them to a higher win % than the Panthers and advance our current draft position by 1. This game does not directly affect our SOS

2)      Texans @ Browns: A Texans win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, giving them a higher win%  and higher SOS (.565). The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  This game does not directly affect our SOS.

3)      Washington @ Lions: A Washington win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, but they would have a higher win %. The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  This game has no effect on our SOS as we play both teams.

4)      Chargers @ Dolphins: A Chargers win would have them tied with the Panthers at 3 wins, and give them a higher winning percentage, but lower SOS (.507).  The Panthers would jump them in the draft order.  Sadly, a Chargers win increases our SOS.

5)      Giants @ Eagles: A Giants win would have them directly tied with the Panthers at 3-7, however the Giants currently have a lower SOS (.508) and would remain ahead of the Panthers. This game does not affect our current SOS as we play neither team.

6)      Jaguars @ Packers: A Jaguars win moves them to 2 wins and within striking distance of the Panthers who currently have a lower SOS. A Packers loss decreases our SOS.

7)      Vikings @ Bears: A Vikings win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play both teams once.

8)      Patriots @ Ravens: A Patriots win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play neither team.

9)      Broncos @ Raiders: A Broncos win moves them to 4 wins and further distances us in case we win another game. This game does not directly affect our SOS as we play both teams once.

10)   49ers @ Saints: A Saints loss vastly improves (x2) our SOS.

11)   Bills @ Cardinals: A Cardinals loss improves our SOS.

In a complete CRAZY statistical anomaly, 12 of the 14 games set to be played this week have some effect on our current draft position and of those 12 games, we need the away team to win in every single one!  You can’t make that kind of stat up.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
