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.

    • Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.   
    • Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.
    • Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
