Front 7

This might be the perfect draft for rebuilding our front 7.  Plenty of quality DTs. LBs are devalued and we aren’t afraid to trade. I know draft simulations are dicey but they spark the imagination.  What if we could completely rework the defense in one draft? And how would that class be configured? Line heavy? Shutdown corners or flying edge speed?

Your first two picks ruin the draft from a value nerd standpoint. 

It does go very hard in trying to redeem itself with the next 4 picks, but I simply cannot agree to drafting S, LB, or RB with the first two picks. 

Fortunately, Malaki Starks is far and away the best safety in the draft and if we're talking value, the team only has a UDFA (Richardson) under contract going forward.

He's also a better prospect than Kyle Hamilton was (imo) who went #14. Minkah Fitzpatrick went at #11 a couple of seasons prior to that.

Fair points. Value is the theme. It’s a deep draft, not top heavy. Trades should be available and the Panthers could capitalize.

      I need to actually do a full analysis but I think the issue was more that we'd rarely have top-to-bottom awesome drafts but we'd frequently have drafts where only 2-3 players panned out, but the 1st is a Pro Bowler and the other two solid starters or backups. We rarely had drafts where only 1 player was good, and we never had absolute useless drafts. At the very least we always had one really, really good guy. The worst was probably 2005 where we got Thomas Davis (Hall of Honor-quality player) and Geoff Hangartener. Evan Mathis was good, but only after he left.

      Hurney wasn’t good with contracts but I think he was probably above average at drafting.  Not saying he was great.  Just that most draft classes are worthless.

      Ehh, teams earlier this season double and tripled teamed him with decent success. The reason he beasted out so much with Miami was for some reason they did not much at all. Bad call on their part. But that is his purpose. If he is eating up people that is huge, and theoretically should give others the ability to make a play. But his surrounding cast to do that isn’t great. Brown is something OCs have to put a lot of time to plan for.
