What The "experts" Are Saying About Our Draft


The Special One

Recommended Posts

They all comment that we did not address our primary need, DT. Here is why:

Andre Neblett, 23

Frank Kearse, 23

Sione Fua, 23

Terrell McClain 23

Jason Shirly, 26

Ron Edwards, 32

LB and G were bigger needs, but the media tends to forget about players on IR or the development of rookies. Oh, and if you wanted an elite DE:

Greg Hardy, 23

Thomas Keiser, 23

Eric Norwood, 23

Charles Johnson 25

Antwan Applewhite 26

Ages from Panthers,com

I think you can scratch off Norwood off that list.

Alexander looked explosive as hell on his highlight tape. Granted, it was a highlight tape but the dude looks quick.

love Alexander's explosive plays too and of course his tremendous wingspan will help him knock the ball out of QB's hand, even if he doesn't beat OT to the QB and his ability to knock down passes,but Keiser looked great with such limited playing time and the off-season should help his development even more; I just don't know who will be activated on Gameday

Heard bill polian yesterday call Marty an excellent gm on espn.

I heard that too. This was a RR pick. He said that Marty was evaluating Lewis and RR noticed Alexander on Marty's computer. RR also is the one who wanted Silalotu and JR Campbell, a pick Gil Brandt called, "stealing." Marty's GM skills were displayed when Fox was a lame duck and he drafted future stars like Clausen, Armanti, and Norwood--one heck of a draft. This team is getting a personality now/

Now that you guys drafted a QB, shouldn't you be bloviating on the www.racistmascotredskinfans.com message board?

You mean two QB's, which everyone including me is scratching their heads at?

Sounds like they're hedging their bet on RG3 a little bit before he's even taken the field, typical Skins move, it's why they are doomed to failure.

I really think we had an excellent draft and getting both Alexander and Adams in the 4th will turn out to be HUGE value picks.

I agree, I'm happy with our draft. I certainly feel better now than before the draft. Our young dlinemen and secondary haave some good potential .

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
