D.. Cam newton gets them at least that much , the rest of the picks there was someone better at each position when they picked and they completely ignored the tight end position , Virgil green was still available when they drafted failey mc fail sauce out of washington state

Overall Draft Grade - B

Drafted a potential future franchise QB in Newton, shored up the DT spot with two solid day 2 picks. Drafted for depth late in the draft and added a WR that's a playmaker in Pilares.

Starters this season - Both McClain and Fua will see plenty of playing time from the start in a rotation system at DT. Newton should also see some playing time this season as well.

Sleeper pick - Pilares from Hawaii, might beat out AE for the slot job this season.

Worst Pick - Zach Williams

I give this draft a D+

Things I like:

We drafted two decent DTs to compete for the starting roles. They also might bring in a veteran in free agency.

Hurney didn't trade away any of next year's picks, so we have a pick in every round next year. (And I have a feeling we are going to need them) JR must have told Hurney not to touch those picks, probably because Hurney will be gone next year and there is no need to mess things up for the next guy.

Things I didn't like:

Drafting Cam Newton when we could have had a bonifide starter on the D-line or in the secondary. Most likely we will put him out there in week one, if we expect to win any games. (If Clausen is out there, we will lose. Matt Moore is likely to leave, but even if he comes back we will lose with him. Matt Moore's best days was with him throwing to Steve Smith, and Smitty is gone. All the good veteran QBs will likely go to other teams like the Cards and such)

All other draft picks, although Pilares could be a surprise. However with guys like Ricardo Lockette, Virgil Greene, Greg Romeus, Mark Herzlich, etc sitting there for the taking, we draft guys no one has ever heard of. We'll see how our draftees do.

    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
