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.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
