The Panthers All-Drafted Team

So I was taking a look at the Panther's roster and noticed that we currently have 11 defensive backs on the team and 10 of them were drafted by the Panthers. Only Marcus Hudson came to the team via a way not the draft. So that got me interested in looking at the entire team and what I discovered kind of amazed me.

We currently have 48 drafted players on roster. And enough at every position to fill out a 53 man roster except for punter, kicker and long snapper. That's right, we have, except for ST players, enough drafted players to make up an entire NFL team, starters and backups.

Here's the list of drafted players:

QB - Clausen/Newton/Pike

RB - Goodson/Stewart/Williams

FB - Fiammetta

TE - Barnidge/King/Rosario

WR - Edwards/Gettis/LeFall/Pilares/Smith

T - Gross/Otah/Schwartz/Ziemba

C - Kalil/Williams

G - Bernadeau/Robinson/Wharton

DE - Brown/Hardy/Johnson/Taylor

DT - Fua/Hayde/Irvin/McClain

LB - Anderson/Beason/Connor/Davis/Norwood/Wilson

CB - Hogan/Gamble/Marshall/McClain/Munnerlyn/Stanford/Wilson

S - Godfrey/Martin/Pugh

Now, I'm not saying everyone on that list needs to make the team or that we don't need to add any free agents. Just found it to be very interesting how many draft picks we actually have on roster.

hopefully rivera is changing that philosophy.

i think he already is.

i know richardson is planning on having those purse strings open up when FA starts. I don't think that hurney is under the delusion that we don't need outsiders to have a winning team anymore.

i think we'll be pretty big players in FA this year. vet QB, vet WR, DT, OG, and probably CB are areas we will probably hit hard.

i'd love for us also to quit thinking we need to have a FG guy and a KOS guy. save a roster spot and replace kasay and lloyd with one guy who can do both.

meant to quote you but, I do agree, although they did move the kickoff up 5 yards so either baker or kasay will probably have no problems doing kickoffs next year.

I totally agree with you except for the Kasay part. He is pretty reliable and I don't see how one more roster spot being used by a KO guy is gonna realistically make a difference on whether we are competitive or not. Lloyd needs to step it up or get replaced.

With the change in KO position, Lloyd is out the door, methinks. Baker can kick off from the 35 and get good coverage.

How often do the perennial superbowl franchises make a big splash in free agency?

I do remember hearing on NFLN during the draft that the Panther indeed had the most number of drafted players on roster in 2010. There isn't a list out there with this info readily available so I didn't do this for every team but here is what I did find out.

Out of 53 roster spots:

Panthers - 40

Packers - 38

Broncos - 20

Steelers - 29

Ravens - 29

Bengals - 29

Patriots - 32

Bills - 27

I think that pretty much proves that this is just an interesting stat that doesn't mean that much as far as on field performance is concerned.

Interesting, but my point was how often do they make BIG moves. When was the last time the Steelers made a big money free agency signing, or traded for someone other than dealing with late round picks?

The Pats recently made one big singing, Adalius Thomas, and have essentially steered clear since then. Other than that, they have stuck to older players and low risk trades.

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      I agree.  Some situations are all we should ask--shadow the qb (someone suggested that) or cover a TE, or blitz from the big nickel position.  Forget S, edge, CB,LB--

      Isaiah Simmons: "A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma"

      I work with social emotional learning and I don't know why a player with all the tools (to Snow's point) sucks when he was a top 10 player in college.  It is not talent, and it is usually not due to some learning disability-.  It comes down to dispositions or emotions in a lot of cases. The reason I pointed out Simmons in particular is because he was drafted to be a DC's new weapon.  I have friends who played in the NFL and they talk about the amount they throw at you--and those were guys who played 1 position.  Simmons shows his ability on special teams--where you are a bit more turned loose than scripted or forced to read blocking schemes or pass routes, etc.  See ball, get ball.  Simmons has been tried at CB, nickel, S , LB edge and he has had 5 different coordinators if you do not count the STs guy.  This would overwhelm most people.  Nobody knows what it does to your confidence and motivation to go from the best player on your team and a top college player to getting cut.   I just think that players like this can be saved.  To say, "He just isn't good" is not to answer the question, "Why was this not noticed during the interviews?  game film?  Combine?  References?  etc.  No, there has to be something more to it than that.  I think Isaiah needs one job and that job should be aligned with a strength.  If he fails then, fine.  Maybe he lost his mojo.  Maybe he never had it.  But to understand what he has been through is to give the guy the benefit of the doubt.  If you played in high school, you got a happy meal version of what it is like in college.  College was an appetizer when compared to pros.  We shall see.  But I am more optimistic about Simmons than I am XL.  Simmons was asked to things most NFL players cannot do.  XL just needs to catch the damn ball in bounds.   Middle schoolers do it every day.

      This was a super interesting analysis....and I will say I dont think it prevents us from looking at Safety in the draft. IF Ransom takes a step up and outplays Moehrig, there is an out for them after the year as a potential cap cut.  EVEN if not, if you are right and Simmons shows some promise as a Big nickel and Moehrig gets  injured and Ransom looks good (or even if Moehrig looks bad) I could see him being a cap casualty in 2027 as long as we feel we have enough talent there as starting potential.  Lotta football to play and Lotta injuries to happen.  Im hopeful because his measurables are through the roof, but unless they translate you still gotta go with what you got.
