Unsung Hero Award: Ryan Kalil, Kalil has quietly become one of the best centers in the league. Even on a great offensive line that doesn't get much notoriety besides Jordan Gross, Kalil doesn't get mentioned nearly enough.

Most Improved Award: Thomas Davis, Definitely the worst loss for the Panthers this season was when TD went out with his injury. Before he was injured, he was playing every bit as well as Beason does and probably would have been in the Pro Bowl discussion had he stayed healthy.

Rookie of the Year: Captain Munnerlyn, Captain was a huge surprise this year. Has a knack for finding the ball, good tackler, pretty good in coverage for a 7th round rookie. Captain Munnerlyn is surely the best 7th round pick in team history.

Coordinator of the Year: Ron Meeks, I had bashed Meeks for some very conservative looks earlier this season, but he started to take a few more chances as the defense got settled into the new system and BOY were they looking Super Bowl-worthy in the second half of the season.

Offensive MVP: Travelle Wharton, Unusual choice? Sure, but Moore wasn't in the lineup long enough, 89 was limited, and it's hard to pick between Williams and Stewart. So I went with the best offensive lineman still standing at the end of the year. The offensive line is collectively the best group on the team.

Team MVP: Jon Beason, Beason had a slower start this year than he did last, but that can be attributed to settling into the new Meeks system. Once repetition got drilled into his brain enough that things became second-nature again, he became that all-world linebacker that we all remembered from last year. Intensity, sure-fire tackling, solid coverage, great leadership...Beason is the total package. He's going to break a lot of team records one day.

Jon Beason, your 2009 Carolina Panthers MVP.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
