Grading how the draft was run

Late correction aside, first pick was Fields who dropped in our lap and second was the best OT on board (there were a few).  These are premium positions which need to be addressed first.   

Maybe draft was salvaged by some value picks later, we will see.

Panthers were 31st in the league in being able to get off the field on 3rd down last year.  Maybe Jaycee Horn was the correct pick.

I think it indicates a strategy for managing all the dead cap. Get lots of contributors on rookie deals to fill out a roster while they outlast bad contracts. We added a lot of picks in that 3-5 range where guys might not be stars but if your starter gets injured you have someone with potential to put in.

If you wanted a tackle or QB in the first round its going to be hard to convince you Jaycee was a good pick. The reality is he's a great player and a great pick. We can argue the Panthers should have never signed Teddy Bridgewater or traded for Darnold... but they did. Fields made less sense after the Darnold trade.

Outside of Horn and Brady’s guy falling into our laps I’ll give the rest of the draft.. a meh

 

Not too hyped about a project TE and projected guard though.. this draft definitely needs to be evaluated after perhaps the preseason to even confirm if anyone from Day 3’s draft make the team. Let alone contribute.

if the season weren’t Samdarn or bust I’d give it a solid B, though.

At this point, I think the LSU kid is the pick that currently swung the overall feel of this draft. 

IF you don't like the Horn pick for some reason that makes sense to me. I like the Horn pick so that one just solidified it.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
