Solid B+ - A draft. They got depth and ST help in the 4th and 6th, Kugbila can be a starter in a year or two. Klein is going to help on special teams from the start and is good depth at OLB and ILB, also adds versatility to the LB core as he can play all three spots. Barner in the 6th is a scat back/change of pace guy that's surprisingly strong for being small, he's got quick feet and good hands. He's an air back, that can give you an extra dimension to your offense.

Overall: A-

(1) Star Lotulelei : A+

(2) Kawann Short : A-

(4) Edmund Kugbila D

(5) A.J. Klein C+

(6) Kenjon Barner B+

It doesn't take all draftees to boom in order to have a A+ draft. We just need to boom with the high picks. The 2011 draft is disgusting but it's still an A grade draft bc we landed Cam.

Championship teams find talent in late rounds. We didnt do that we passed on talent. He got lucky with star and short

I loved Star, I think Short is gonna be siqq on our d-line even though i wish we'd liked someone else enough to take them (and if you listened to his phone interview on panthers.com he is very excited to be picked by us and was hoping that he would be which is priceless for a draft pick i think), the rest of the picks all make perfect sense but i selfishly don't like them anyway. this draft was truly gettleman making us take our medicine and it blows. that's why i gave this an A-.

i think we all tend to keep the blinders on in regard to our big name vets, but TD could be done any time, Beason could never come back right and if he does he probably will be gone after this year anyway, Dwill will probably be gone after this year too. Gettleman thinks we already have the answers at WR, S, and CB. at the end of the day I'm homer enough to eat that idea up.

    • Unless the league decides to rollback the rule book 30 years, that player at QB isn't winning any Super Bowls.  QB has to elevate those around him.  QBs that are carried by the team are always exposed in the playoffs. Closest thing to an average QB that has won the SB recently is Jalen Hurts.  But he's so unique with his legs and the unstoppable tush push that I don't think it's easy to compare him to anyone.  Certainly not someone who is subbed out for QB sneaks.
    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
