Ranking every Panthers draft class alex zeitlow observer


Recommended Posts

here lately the Panthers have reached & traded up time & time again & in the process wasted alot of our draft picks to fill a need/fit that's why most all teams fill their holes in FA & draft BPA 

i honestly cannot remember the last time the Panthers drafted BPA in the 1st round ?& i know for a fact that's been one of the main reasons they have been so unsuccessful at drafting quality players here lately 

now on the other hand look at Marty Hurney would patientlywait until it was time for the Panthers to pick  & no matter what we needed at that time MH always took the best player avilable & as a result that's one of the main reasons he had so much success especially in the 1st round  of the draft ...just saying

these two rare uniquie yet very similar players. Jalon Walker like Everette Brown could/can BOTH play outside linebacker as well as move inside at edge & both are very good at rushing the passer  .& they once again both have the athletic ability to take on offensive linemen & shed blocks i& also drop hack & contribute in pass coverage.

these two not only  have rare yet very similar skill sets but skill sets  that you would & will not find in your average

2022 2023 and 2024 should be enough to get those involved blackballed from scouting and working in front offices ever again.

Just unforgiveable ineptitude.

Unforgivable. 100%. Oh, we also let Darnold and Mayfield walk. Oh yeah, we also turned down a kings ransom for Burns that could have REALLY fast tracked a rebuild. There is no way football people piloted that ship. 

This is illustrative on just how destructive it is to whiff on first and second rounders at all, but especially numerous years in a row.

How 2014 ranked as high as number 12 I just don't know. Trai Turner and Tre Boston are your standouts and I'm not sure how much they'd have seen the field with other teams. Actually, we know from history the answer to that.

agree w/ others on 2013 being way too low.  Only 5 picks and you basically landed what were 2 of the better DTs in the league in the years to follow plus a solid LB.  

That's the only class I was drastically move up.  Rest would be nitpicky.

    • I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?  
    • I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.   
    • I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
