Would be interesting to know who are deemed plus starters and solid starters 

Check the spreadsheet link; it has each player color coded.

@Jay Roosevelt

Do your numbers include all the picks we traded away? I know Hurney and Gettleman did have an occasional trade up but they never did as many trade ups as well as trading draft picks for vets, which makes no sense for a team with a max of 7 wins in 6 years.

No, trades were not considered. This is purely based on draft success after round 1.

Interesting stuff @Jay Roosevelt

How do you differentiate between solid player and contributor?

Mostly just my opinion, but I tried to be as broad as possible so the results would be as objective as possible.

Basically the formula I used was:

PLUS STARTERS: Good, great, or elite players who became key starters for us.
SOLID PLAYERS: Decent players who were starters for an extended period of time or played key roles for us.
CONTRIBUTORS : Players who were lower-level starters or who provided solid depth/special teams value.
BUST/MISSES  : Players who never contributed much of anything or anything at all.

the only way to change our future is to start drafting very small weak slow players.

[Krovvy]

Does this not take into account trades, trade-ups, and trade-backs?

Chrome dome bonehead is into analytics ....wonder what he has to say about this?  Prolly pass the ketchup ..... Just glaring stats.

I wonder if Dave Tepper can lure ex-Steeler GM Kevin Colbert out of retirement

I've said it multiple times in other posts, Fitterer's poor drafting has set this team backs significantly without depth and talent. And what talent we do have, he has traded it away in CMC and Moore. Honestly it shouldn't be surprising that the Panthers sucks ass! I would like to know who we drafted with the picks we got for CMC?

People kept saying every bad move was Rhule’s, so Fitt got a cakewalk for a couple of years. But still making awful deals should show he was probably in on a lot of those Rhule plans too.

Fitt has to go. This is embarrassing 

[onmyown]

Glad the huddle seems to be on the same page as I was when Rhule was fired that Fit is not a real GM and should’ve gone with him. Mr. Scott is probably still clinging on as he argued to he was blue in the face how Fit was a top candidate completely qualified.

Newsflash (for some) it wasn’t just Rhule. Fit is utter trash.

[Basbear]

Im still in the firm spot of herniay was the worst and its sorta telling seeing the majority of the huddle feels that now fitterererer.

I was there for hernaiy and he still sinks more than fitterererer.

Now do Polian/Seifert

Thanks for sharing. I think For Fitt, Barno could be classified as a  contributor, plays special teams, and gets about 10-15 reps on defense for a sixth-round pick that's solid.

Overall though, the calling card for Fitt was Seattle was able to develop and hit on players that were taken on Day 2, 3, or UDFA (Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Kam Chancellor, Doug Baldwin, etc.) 

This roster lacks depth and hasn't won anything this year, including preseason games. 

"Overall though, the calling card for Fitt was Seattle was able to develop and hit on players that were taken on Day 2, 3, or UDFA (Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Kam Chancellor, Doug Baldwin, etc.)"

Are you saying Fitt was responsible for drafting Sherman, Wagner, Chancellor, Baldwin, etc.?

From my memory, the majority or large number of the 2003 Super Bowl team were Seifert's guys.

How about Brandon Beane. I'm sure he's ready to come back to North Carolina. You really think he wants to live in that cold weather? Tepper should offer him a promotion. Isn't that how it's done in the NFL. To get someone from another team, it has to be a promotion. Make him President/GM. Pay him.
