They use it to confirm what they see on the field.

this isn’t raiders drafting of the past where you see them take extremely talented athletes with no football resume to back it up. We use both. Which I think is good.

Sam Darnold: His defenders say he just needs a chance in a better environment. He will get that.

The Carolina Panthers didn't draft a quarterback in the first round, even with Justin Fields and Mac Jones on the board. They already traded Teddy Bridgewater.

In the second round, the Panther selected LSU receiver Terrace Marshall Jr., a fantastic college player who slipped due to injury concerns. He'll be paired with D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson, a pair of 1,000-yard receivers. Darnold also has superback Christian McCaffrey with him. Then in the third round, the Panthers added to the line by drafting BYU tackle Brady Christensen. It's a good situation.

The Panthers are showing a lot of faith in Darnold, and not much of it has been earned. The dysfunctional Jets situation has been blamed. Now we'll have a chance to see.

I think this is just the analytics part of it that I keep hearing mentioned in NFL circles, they probably have certain athletic  benchmarks players need to meet to be considered. I think the Colts are similar with their approach.

He seems like a risky pick based on injury and lack of athleticism and shaky hands.  I dont think we are in a position as a franchise to being picking risks in the 2nd. 

Who lacks athleticism and has shaky hands?

I do too. I am curious how much it factors into the process.

Love this strategy. They’re drafting superior athletes who are coachable a round or two later than comparable talent, which means we sign them for cheap. Everyone wondering how we are going to fill out the holes in our roster with our cap limitations... this is how you do it. There will be some misses, sure, but I feel optimistic based on seeing what Rhule and Co. did with the roster last year.

Fitterer has finesse.  The ability to move up and down the draft without doing dumb moves.  When compared to past trade moves ( Little,  Kelvin, Everett, and Amanti Edwards) if it was not so painful it would be funny.  This is what a competent GM looks like.  Just to compare check out Giants and WFT to us after the draft.

I genuinely just don't see what the plan is, if there is one. I hope it becomes clearer with time and success.

I do.  Get as many picks as possible to increase the amount of young talent across the board and hope enough of them pan out to make us a contender.  This is how teams become consistent winners.  If enough of the picks pan out.  Or change coaches every 3-4 years if they don't pan out.

All three new players Friday were very productive college players and “elite athletes,” as Rhule said, available on the second day of the draft only because of minor perceived deficiencies.

For Marshall, it’s his medical history. For Christensen, he’s 24, meaning he’s a year older than Darnold, who is about to play his fourth NFL season. For Tremble, he’s a tight end who was used as a blocker most of the time at Notre Dame and so the question is whether he can develop as a receiver or just be Chris Manhertz 2.0.

Still, the Panthers deserve some credit for turning what was going to be two picks on the second day of the draft into three by the end of Friday.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
