So after reading NFCS message boards, our rivals came to one conclusion

I'm sure all of them thought their draft was the best.

I think Tampa had a great draft, but it's almost hard not to when you have the number three pick. I loved their balls in drafting Williams, kind of like ours in taking Edwards. If it works out, and if Benn develops, they're going to be dangerous in the air.

I think Carolina had the next best draft. We didn't have a first rounder, but got one somehow anyway. No reach until the third, and most of our later guys are high risk/high reward types.

New Orleans probably had the next best, at least their's was better than Atlanta's. They got another CB for some reason, but the rest of their picks filled needs and they got some good talent.

Atlanta reached for Weatherspoon, but he sure fills a need. I just think they could have traded down a few spots and still gotten him. I don't get most of their other picks, it was like they reached all day long for needs rather than taking the BPAs. And they ended up with less talent than they should have as a result. Overall it wasn't a terrible draft at all, but it was the worst in the South.

How can anybody that knows anything about football think that Pike is as good or better than Clausen? Maybe Pike will be good 2-3 years down the road, but those college numbers he put up were more because of the system than his QB skills. Clausen, on the other hand, played in a pro offense, so he was doing the exact same thing on Saturdays that he will be doing on Sundays. If he turns out to be a bust, and that is a possibility for any of the QB's in this draft, it will be because of his personality and attitude, not because he doesn't have the skills required to play the pro game. I've watched that kid make every throw that every NFL QB has to make, so I'm not a bit worried about that part of it.

Clausen = Bust (Not made for NFL)

LaFell = Bust (The next Dwayne Jarrett)

Edwards = Great athlete, but Bust.

Norwood = Best pick, will make a great back-up

Hardy = will be on IR before he's plane lands in Charlotte... bust.

Pike = great back-up

Interesting...

I see their level of optimism for us is on par with 80% of the members of the huddle...

And this is what I think of the Saints...

    • Lol Atlanta looks to have lost their young edge rusher, has no 1st round pick, a complete mess at QB, a new coaching staff… And we swept them this year. Says what they think of us. 
    • I mean, you can only go so far with the propping up. When a guy's numbers are as bad overall as Bryce's you have to try to find specific niches to sell. It's just funny that they're honing in on where he's probably weakest to try to prop him up. Whether it's a pro-Bryce conspiracy or not, it echos my chief complaint about PFF's analysis for years. When your purely statistical analysis badly skews from the eye test of actually watching the games, it should be screaming at you that you need to modify your system not double down on it. PFF is awesome at compiling stats but their grade systems are highly flawed and they never seem to try to improve them.
    • Then why is Byce also last in other PFF stats?  The deep ball thrower stat by PFF can simply be flawed vs some conspiracy trying to prop up a QB on a team that a former employee now works for.  Both of these guys were also hired AFTER the Panthers had already drafted Bryce.  Trying to prop him up with a made up stat while he struggled would be a detriment to their own team honestly.
