It’s very simple. If you go by total impact, we didn’t do well. If you go by total value which accounts for our lack of picks, we did well. Ignoring the fact that if Corral is amazing we win the draft, a team like the Jets got Garrett Wilson, Sauce Gardner and Jermaine Johnson in the 1st. That’s three impact starters as of now. We have Iky and maybe Corral.

If you go by true impact starters there’s no way we rank ahead of the Jets. That said, they had way more draft capital and that’s where we had an advantage.

Pretty sure Brady Quinn said drafting Corral was a huge mistake. Too raw.

 Put another way: this list isn't identifying the "best" or "worst" draft classes, but instead showing how the actual draft stacked up against our draft board. It's more instructive than definitive and hopefully that's how you'll take it.

 

Put yet another way, this "grade" is more about how each team stacks up if they had all picked as he had instructed them to.  The Panthers, with fewer picks in day 1-2 had fewer chances to cross him up.  Also he does not describe the grade for drafting a player he had listed as FA.  I liked what we did with our draft but this whole article is an exercise in narcissism.

Well, at 94, nothing is a “huge” mistake. I don’t think I saw anywhere where Corral was ranked that low. Who knows if he works out but it can’t be a huge mistake. Also, taking him at 94 also means that if he fails badly, we move on quickly. Besides, Quinn has zero clue what good NFL QB play is like.

yeah i agree. BQ has no idea. He was the CBS figurehead blasting our draft.

weird ... CBS was just saying we were the worst immediately after the draft...

Yeah it's strange cause on the CBS Sports Draft Tracker, we got Bs and Cs for every single one of our draft picks.  Seemed like a pretty mediocre reception of our draft.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
