There are fans here that think Charles Johnson, Cam Newton, and Chris Gamble suck...

while true, this is different. He was not unlike their Everrete Brown, except that he teased being great as a rookie and was pretty bad under pressure last year. He was overall a major disappointment.

Eagles just resigned hanson and cut lindley. Not sure if we might be interested in lindley?

Very young guy with a decent amount of potential... Depending on what McDermott thinks of him I could see us getting him. wait, they cut Lindley? huh

Well my thinking is this. After looking at his number, he wasn't TERRIBLE. Just has to tackle better. Look at Gamble last year. Couldn't tackle to save his life. Completely missing multiple times on tackles. It will get better. Players have down years, it happens. The guy is still young with a lot to learn. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Again, he can't be worse than what we already have, because that is just impossible.

Best thing about bringing Butler in is it puts the pressure on Captain to perform. If he doesn't, it would be nothing to put Pugh at safety, drop Godfrey to a CB or nickle, and put Butler in. Hopefully he is competitive and it makes all our secondary guys better.

Also, as already stated, it could be the kid's confidence. The swag on this team is contagious. He'll be fine if that is the case.

meh we have nothing to lose and didn't give up anything for him so if he doesn't pan out who cares. We aren't calling him a savior, at least I am not. I'm sure as hell not satisfied with CB just yet. I consider this year the Panther will be going through a couple positions to wee doubt who can't and can handle it. I could see getting mad over a second round pick... in fact I can relate quite a bit.

In Darius Butler's defense, Pats fans have a tendency to expect every player they draft to immediately become the Tom Brady at their position from day 1. Maybe he won't pan out here, maybe he'll turn into a gem. I think Meeks has done more with less.

True, but you can do more with less when you have the DL play to make up for some of the lack of talent. His days in Indy were an example of that......

There was 0 risk for us. We need a CB and if it works out great! If not we are back where we started so nothing lost. Sometimes players just need a new coaching staff and hopefully we will be that staff. BTW Pats fans are some of the dumbest egotistical fans out there so they are going to bash anyone thats not a Pat anymore.

      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
