Cam is our greatest player but he alone shouldn’t bring that draft class up to #3. 

2021 at 16 seems a little low. 

I thought 2021 seemed high lol i thought 2004 seemed low at 19. 2018 should be closer to the bottom. do not get 2014 at 12 either. Not as bad overall drafting as i expected.

Wow. Doesn't even tell the whole story since we are still paying for the '23 class this year.

We have to be bottom 5 in the league at draft success. It's miserable to look at that. So much to the point that I had to stop reading the list when it got ugly - which for me, was #3 lol. Yes, Cam was a homerun but also number 1 pick. The rest of that draft...yikes.

Historically the Hurney era was pretty darn good in the 1st. The Ravens were probably the only team that was consistently better.

I disagree with a lot of those rankings, 07, 04 and 13 are too low. It’d take too long to redo it but I’d have fun making my own. 

kk and Star were STUDS on an already stacked defense. That was a good draft. Not to mention that Klein would have been a starter on most other teams.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
