Kiper's grade of Panthers 2009 Draft

Carolina Panthers (Spring grade: C)

The worst thing about this draft wasn't the pick of Everette Brown by itself -- but that they gave up their 2010 Round 1 pick to get him. While production from a Round 7 pick (Captain Munnerlyn) is a redeemer, it wasn't a great draft. Sherrod Martin has worked out, but to lose a first-round pick from any component of this haul really hurts. Now, the team needs to draft a QB, and will have to wait until the top three to five are off the board in 2010.

Current grade: D+

And Yakinas

Biggest surprise: Captain Munnerlyn, defensive back. He’s turned out to be one of the best choices of the seventh round. Munnerlyn has contributed in the secondary and as a return man.

Jury’s still out: Mike Goodson, running back. Remember all that preseason talk about the speedy runner from Texas A&M? Well, it hasn’t carried over into the regular season. The Panthers now are higher on undrafted rookie Tyrell Sutton.

Bust alert: Tony Fiammetta, fullback. If it seems like the Panthers have been drafting fullbacks ever since Brad Hoover arrived as an undrafted free agent early in the decade, it’s only because they have. But none of them have been able to get the steady Hoover off the field. Fiammetta got some playing time when Hoover was hurt, but didn’t show any signs he’s ready to take the job

    • I think the qualification has changed over time though. A deep ball play used to take 4 to 6 seconds for the receiver to get to that spot on the field. Now a receiver can be there in 2.5. That's less time than most QBs have to set and throw. In my mind a deep route takes time to develop. A crossing route and a deep route can't take the same amount of time at full speed. You can have 4 deep balls on the same drive,  almost 5 if you do 5 20 yard throws goal line to goal line. That doesn't even make sense when you say it out loud. 
    • The sad part is it looks manicured enough that he's aware it's running away from him.  Also, I just wanted to give you some fun loving grief on King Haynes today having a chance to throw a game winning TD, and was wildly errant, and ultimately picked off to end the game.  So happy I won't have to hear anything else about The Golden Calf of Bristol lite ever again watching college football.
    • I just think Panthers believe in Bryce far more than the fans do and he is most likely going to be the QB at least the next two seasons. the real shot of us moving from Bryce is not getting an extension, till then they are going to give him every chance to succeed and I just want to win.
