Five year study on nfl drafts


Grammer

Recommended Posts

We have a ton of our picks still on our team and contributing... but will be more interesting will be to see how many we have in Rivera's second year depending on how well we do... If Rivera keeps our guys and we do well, or if Rivera releases a bunch and we do well.. That will tell us exactly how good our drafts really have been IMO.

Actually I think this list is crap. If you look closely you'll see that we have 13 starters drafted, most in the NFL. We also have 34 drafted players still on the team, most in the NFL. And screw him if he says having the best RB's in the NFL on your team is a bad thing. No one has the depth or quality of RB's we do and I'm proud to have them.

We are more talented than most teams we just need to to show it at QB. We've also refused to get a DT worth a sh1t in 5 years.

If Rivera gets us rolling right we will be a very fast, very dangerous, and very young team.

Yeah, but a number of our starters and a number of the players we drafted and kept happened because we didn't sign any vets last year etc. For instance, while one of our 2 great rookie wideouts may have ended up a "starter" on this list, both of them wouldn't have. The same is true of some of our linemen... on both sides of the ball.

That's why I think the coming years will be more telling.

Still, our drafting has imho been above where he puts us. You can't just go "Well, RBs can be had in later rounds, who cares if they got two of the best RBs in the league."

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
