Thats the problem, the situation should have been dealt with from the get go.

And now the Panthers are picking up scrubs and hoping for the best..

It was....they drafted 2 DTs and signed Sweet Ron. Poo happens.

It was dealt with. We signed a free agent, and made a couple of draft picks. Unfortunately, our free agent is out for the year, so we have to make do. We had a lot of holes last year, and fixing all of them with a offseason that lasted a week or two is a nearly impossible task.

Somebody asked about the waiver wire. Yes, we'll get first dibs on players cut, but they have to have less than four seasons in the league under their belt. If they do, then they're free to sign with whichever team they wish. Don't know if that's been modified under the new CBA though. We'll keep that advantage until Week 3 or 4 when it's reset to how teams are doing record wise in the '11 season.

For those of you complaining about the pick, who exactly did you expect us to pick up? You don't exactly pick up probowlers from the waiver list.

My only complaint with the waiver selection is having to hear carowhina fans rationalize why this guy hasn't panned out.

He was stuck as a 3-4 DE because he has 3-4 DE size. He is tall with some bulk. The facts tell the story. He has played for 2 different teams in 3 years, started a good number of games last year without recording a sack, and has now been cut early into the cut cycle by a team without a plethora of DEs. At this point he is a reclamation project with some upside but is unlikely to help out in any meaningful way.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      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
