Carolina's 2020 Draft, was all defense.  Every single pick.  I am sure this was not Hurneys idea.  I believe Rhule had a plan to try and fix 1 side of the ball with that draft.  They will do the same or close to the same this year.  With the exception of maybe a cb, look for Carolina to go all in on offense or Joe Brady will start trying on different team hats to see how they look.

Don't be surprised if they draft CB, S, IDL, and LB in this draft, along with a couple of OL.

Ehh, does the offense really need fixing like the D did last year? I don't think so. Main pieces we're missing are LT and QB (obviously hugely important pieces) but those aren't positions you just force in the draft, especially after the Darnold trade too. I think it'll be a decent mix this year, it still makes sense to bolster the D in my view.

Last year Rhule and Co. selected starters with their first three picks. I don't believe last year was an aberration. I think this team puts in the work pre-draft and will get value with all of their picks. I'm interested at who they'd invest in at 8, but also what they might be able to get with a trade down and more picks. I think if they trade down it's for picks this year vs. trying to recoup the ones they've committed next year, time value of money(picks) and all.

We can bolster the line in the first 2 rounds.  Go LT 1rst, then hopefully a 2nd tier guy is there in the second (Humprhies, Jenkins, whoever) and put him at guard.  You can completely fix the line if you get a center in the 3rd or 4rth.  Boom, done.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Newtcase · Posted

      I didn’t like this draft at all. XL, our first pick had one good season out of five and doesn’t have burst off the line.  I wanted Ladd here because I think he’d have been a much better pairing for BY9s weak arm.  We need to be an excellent west coast style offense if Bryce is gonna shine.  A burner that takes 3 steps to get moving and doesn’t separate at the line is a bad choice IMO. I don’t even want to talk about drafting a RB after having Foreman make us feel better about trading CMC only to send him packing and give Sanders top FA money last year to fall on his face.  We always try to get cute and find value.  The fact that we were the first team to take a RB (one recovering from a serious injury no less) tells you we didn’t get the memo 31 other teams got.  RB has a huge role in protection responsibility, it’s a huge reason some great backs are situational…they suck in protection.  A rookie RB helping protect BY doesn’t warm my heart.  We should have taken the top C on the board here IMO. LB and yet another project TE that’ll probably just frustrate us all for how long he hangs around seemingly doing nothing.  Then a bunch of dice rolls that aren’t changing any fortune unless it’s a complete accident. TLDR This whole draft looks like JAGs to me at best.  I don’t like the XL or JB picks at all.  Always happy to be wrong when I have a negative take.
