Is it just me, or does it seem that the Panthers administration have been acting out of character this off-season? Seems like lots of interviews.

Me thinks it's just their way of adding more fuel to the smoke screen. I really am starting to believe that they want to trade down.

It's because we have the #1 pick!

haven't made a pick...have order in mind...will continue to evaluate with scouting department and coaches...he'll make the final decision but will work with rivera when making the selection...you want to select the player that has the most impact on your football team...position is important in how it can impact the entire team...when you have handful of players you like, biggest need comes into play...says when you talk to people about players, opinions are different(duh!)...he thinks it's silly when people say there's no sam bradford or matt ryan b/c at the time those players had questions about them too...seems to think you don't have to play a QB right away...says the fact that there is a lockout means the player drafted isn't the only guy behind b/c rivera can't meet with the whole team so everybody is behind...seems to think smitty is just frustrated...doesn't really hint one way or the other on his situation...talks about delhomme...talks about how hard our division is...we have a good nucleus...says we NEED TO FIND THAT QB!

Historically, Hurney gives you nothing.

for him to talk up QB, makes me hopeful for a trade down

that makes no sense...if he came out and said we are open to trading down and will field offers, then that could give you hope...he's saying we have to find a QB...doesn't mean they will draft one but it doesn't mean he's not gonna take one

I don't believe anything I hear or read before draft time. They are all a bunch of liars.

I think I'm just getting a little frustrated with the wait for some good football news.

I think I heard a lot of analysts and draft gurus tell their audiences not to believe anything they hear or read before draft time. Now I don't know what to believe.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
