2019 Draft classes ranked by The Athletic

[Mr. Scot]

Panthers tied for 29th...

From the article:

Defensive end Brian Burns has been a good pick for Carolina, with 25 1/2 sacks in three seasons and a Pro Bowl nod in 2021. He tallied a “10” AV last year. Burns’ pressure rate was 10.5 percent in 2021, down from 13.2 percent in 2020. Offensive lineman Dennis Daley has started 21 games during his first three seasons filling in for injured players.

FYI: The other team ranked 29th is the Jets. The two teams ranked lower are the Eagles (31st) and the Bears (32nd).

As to how the ranking was done:

A three-season resume is widely considered the baseline for when NFL teams can begin to accurately evaluate the hits or misses in a draft class. With that in mind, I dove in for another one of my draft audits, using Pro Football Reference’s “Approximate Value” to judge the success or lack thereof of each team’s 2019 class.

Should’ve traded that entire draft for Watson

Technically we might if Burns is included in the trade.

Didn’t we know this literally the day after the draft?

Ahhhh, the Hurney special

[frankw]

Yep that's a Hurney draft right there. Yet even after all this ineptitude to look back on and the man in question out of the building finally.. We put new folks in charge who took a hard look at Sam Darnold and thought to themselves: "Yessir this is the guy to save our franchise!"

I was hoping/praying Little could give us something. I was wrong…

Nah, I gave them too much credit. I had our draft ranked 25th that year lol

Greg Little, Will Grier, and Jordan Scarlett…

As dumb as the Huddle can be, it's insane that as a collective, we could arguably draft better than the Panthers' brain trust has most years.

He did. Wasted space.

Correct me if my memory is faulty… didn’t we trade some draft capital to move up and get him?
