CAROLINA PANTHERS

Round 1 (7): DI Derrick Brown, Auburn
Round 2 (38): Edge Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State
Round 2 (64): S Jeremy Chinn, SIU
Round 4 (113): CB Troy Pride Jr., Notre Dame
Round 5 (152): S Kenny Robinson Jr., WVU*
Round 6 (184): DI Bravvion Roy, Baylor
Round 7 (221): CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, FIU

Then: B
Now: A-

Though small in their improvements, both Brown and Yetur-Gross Matos played better in 2021. Brown improved his overall defensive grade from a 61.0 to a 64.1, and Gross-Matos improved his overall grade from a 54.7 to a 63.9. With those two players trending upward and the incredible value the team got with Jeremy Chinn, and I’d still call this one of the better hauls from 2020

I'm not surprised. Rhule might not how to manipulate his personnel on game days to put the team or the individual in the best position to succeed, but he's drafted some quality players. 

Maybe when he considers free agency, he should be more wise about believing someone's track record, as opposed to thinking he's going to make chicken salad out of chicken sh!t and paying handsomely for more helpings before be even samples it.

I wonder if TP jr. didnt tear his ACL, if he would have been able to show potential in slot, or special teams. The kid is lightning fast

He is fast but I'm not sure he is as long and physical has the guys we have been bringing in since. Im not sure what kind of role he might have in the future.

Yeah, I guess we will have to see. That knee injury was brutal looking.

I respect the way he played his rookie year. The kid struggled but he was really thrown into the fire. His issue will be where will he play. He hasn't yet shown to be physical enough to play Nickel (our nickels have to tackle a lot, taking on RBs and such). Yet he's not long enough for the man coverage duties of our outside corner. If he adds some muscle and improves his tacking I guess he maybe be able to play anywhere in the backend. We will see.

    • Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack
    • Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.
    • Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
