I love where we are now at G, DT, CB, and even TE (Arnold, Tremble).  We have NEVER been this good at WR, and CMC and Chuba could rival the Double Trouble side show from a decade ago.  I feel better about OT, QB, and special teams.

Loved the analysis and I appreciate all the pre-draft work you do.

Thanks Rayzor! Much love 🙂

Agree with everything, except that I'd grade Shi Smith as an A. This kid can ball. He's a smaller guy, but he's not that small. He's got good size for his height, and will likely get a little bigger and stronger in the pros. He plays big, and will outplay his draft position. Mark it down!

As a fellow HBCU alum, I really rooting for the kid from Grambling, Moore.

 

He was dominant down there in Grambling.

I think he and brown will be our starting guards next year.  The kid from Grambling dominated the big boys at the SR Bowl.  I think he is the LG of 2022 and Brown will be the RG.  Elflein to Center maybe, and hopefully Christensen can hold down the LT job across from Moton.

I think Moore is this year's Norwell.

Three rooks in the starting ol? I’m very excited about the potential of our draft picks, but that seems adventurous.

next year they will not be rookies. 

I think they have that kind of potential.

I love this draft but the trading back and forth drove me crazy. What is truly great is all of the trading upgraded our team and replaced everything we traded for Darnold but the 2nd rounder next year. Would not surprise me if we get that back as well. Filled a lot of holes and showed up depth. Areas we need to work on are FS, LB and more depth.

Hurney used to draft players that he thought we could mold into what we do here.

Fitterer drafted players that fit our mold.  While there may have been others that we could have selected I think all of these selections were based on athleticism and their ability to fit into what we plan to do here.

Tremble is a prime example.  I watch some of his tape and teams will get so used to him blocking he'll sneak up and get us some crucial 1st downs.   Imagine him slamming a linebacker or cornerback and CMC takes off.  2019 CMC had some great runs.  This guy is going to give him more great runs. 

Fits our mold.   

Some of the latter round picks have a chance to contribute in rotation.

Depth is critical.

Thank you.

Feels good to have some extra picks, good depth (WOW), and the possibility of 4/5 starters/immediate contributors out of this draft, while making up for the Darnold Trade.

Man, Hurney could never.

An inability to fill holes and add depth were two of Hurney's biggest shortcomings among many others.

The way Fitterer and Rhule  managed this draft was amazing, and in stark contrast to what Panther fans are used to seeing.

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
