Big time bust. Eric Shelton Jr. 

not Shelton.

worst case with TMJ: his style does not translate to the nfl 

average case: good player, needs to be coached up, horrible situation from a coaching/depth chart perspective, shi smith better practice player 

best case: he’s a great receiver, our coaches are just mannequins 

shelton took literally one hit during his first padded practice, said “fug this” and never wanted to play again.

Can you call anyone a bust whose 1 season in the NFL featured Sam Darnold being your QB? 

I frankly have a hard time holding the 2021 season against anyone that would be dependent on Sam? Let alone a rookie  WR.   It was a bad spot to be in. 

But Baker is a legit gunslinger and they give WRs the opportunity to shine so….we should know pretty soon.   Shi jumping him says a lot IMO

Yeah, I think that's the thing. He is clearly not impressing anyone in this organization.

I don't think it's completely safe to call him a bust, but I also don't anticipate him having much of an NFL career. 

I would be very surprised if he turns it around. There is really very little evidence he has shown during the regular season that he can be that guy.

That was my big fear after the 2021 draft. People saw that and thought it was good. To me it was almost a complete disaster. 

TBD still but it isn't looking very good.

I’m suspicious a lot of these Rhule guys are going to end up elsewhere and have productive, not necessarily spectacular, careers. 
 

you don’t need hall of famers: you just need guys that can produce. That’s what killed us during the hurney years. We’d have entire drafts after the first round of guys that would never earn a second contract. 
 

at least with hurney we got the all pro first rounder.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
