Fanaticalfootballfiend.com's Write-Ups On Our Picks

Recommended Posts

panther4life linked this site in the draft forum back in February, thought I'd collect the comments on the guys we took in one thread. I don't know what the site's credentials are, but everything I've read there so far I pretty much agree with except their opinion on Washington's trade up for RG3. I think the Market Value/Fiendish Value means where they think the player will be drafted and the value of where they should be picked based on future production. All the individual player write-ups were from before the draft.

Round 1: Luke Kuechly

Market Value: 1st, Fiendish Value: 1st

Beast!! Luke Kuechly's Core Strength isn't amazing, and he's not the fastest guy on the planet, but he boasts an absolutely mesmerizing fusion of Fluidity, outstanding Lateral Agility, tremendous Diagnostic Acuity, and utterly phenomenal Processing Speed.

I am confident that he's going to be a very effective Pass Defender ~ he commands sharp Verticity, too ~ and as a Run Defender he is a One Man Swarm.

Round 2: Amini Silatolu

Market Value: 2nd, Fiendish Value: 1st

Beast!! Amini Silatolu comes from a small School, and struggles with the raw Mechanics, as one would expect of him, particularly as he'll be kicking inside from O Tackle.

But his aggregate Skill Set is intensely intriguing: excellent Core Strength meets a truly intoxicating fusion of Fluidity, Lateral Agility, and Range.

There is true All Pro Potential, here. Sleeper!!

Round 4: Frank Alexander

No write-up.

Round 4: Joe Adams

Market Value: 3-4th, Fiendish Value: 2nd

Starter!! Joe Adams is a tiny Zoomer who displays the Release issues ~ getting out of the Blocks ~ that you would expect. And he plants too many FootBalls.

Even so, I like the kid. He brings a lot of Fluidity, and a lot of Verticity and Torsion out'f'is Breaks.

One is always going to be concerned about his durability, but he's pretty tough, and many his size are forging long, succesfull careers.

I seriously doubt that his Market Value isn't about to rocket up into the 2nd Round at the Combine, but for now, I would definitely call him a bargain: Sleeper!!

Round 5: Josh Norman

Market Value: 4-5th, Fiendish Value: 1-2nd

Stud Horse!! Josh Norman is pretty raw, but he offers outstanding Verticity, Fluidity and Core Strength, and his Processing Speed is very impressive, as well!!

There's genuine All Pro Potential, here. Sleeper!!

Round 6: Brad Nortman

No write-ups on Punters or Kickers

Round 7: DJ Campbell

Only 6 Safeties got write-ups, obviously Campbell wasn't one of them.

Comments on the Panthers draft class:

Carolina Panthers ~ A-!!

1 ~ MF Luke Kuechly, even at #11, was an excellent move.

2 ~ And OG Amini Silatolu, even at #40, was a great move.

3 ~ And CB Josh Norman at #143 was a Steal.

editors note: The site uses terminology like Mid Fielder for ILB and Split Ends for WRs and Flankers for OLBs. That's why Kuechly has MF beside his name, it doesn't mean Mother fuger.

    • Wide Receiver: Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers – 85.3 One of the more shocking developments of the 2025 NFL season has been the Carolina Panthers’ ascension to the top of the NFC South, which they achieved with Sunday’s win over the Buccaneers. Perhaps nobody has made a bigger difference than former eighth overall pick Tetairoa McMillan, who continued to be a steady presence in the Panthers’ offense. McMillan caught six passes for 73 yards and a touchdown in the win Tight End: Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers – 91.1 Evans only saw the field for 16 snaps, but he was efficient in his limited playing time. He caught all three of his targets for 23 yards on just six receiving snaps while also grading well in pass protection (72.2 grade) and as a run-blocker (68.4) Edge Defender: Nic Scourton, Carolina Panthers – 77.9 The former second-rounder out of Texas A&M has been a force along the Panthers’ defensive line, and he was a key contributor in Carolina’s huge win over the Buccaneers. Scourton recorded two stops as a run-defender and added another while in coverage. Scourton also tallied his sixth sack of the year while contributing another pressure to the mix Safety: Lathan Ransom, Carolina Panthers – 75.7 Another Carolina Panther on this week’s list, Ransom has typically been stronger in run defense — he carries an 85.2 grade in that field on the season. But Sunday against the Buccaneers was his best day in coverage. Ransom intercepted his only target, which wound up being the game-winner that put the Panthers in the driver’s seat in the NFC South
