With our first two picks we have completely changed the way our defense is viewed. We have added aspects to our defense that can take pressure off the secondary.

We added a Guard who has potential (there were much safer options available)

We added a versatile LB who will be an immediate addition to special teams, is a great locker room presence, and may develop into a good back-up

We added a Sproles type RB who will add a dangerous pass catching RB aspect to our offense.

This draft is an A.

Shore up our interior DL with absolute studs.

Add a OG with great frame,thats athletic, and with quick feet with a ton of upside that allowed barely any sacks and hurries. Day 1 starter.

Added a nice LB that won defensive player of the year that will serve as a nice backup / depth that will prob be starting in the future.

Added a sick rb/scat back with great change of pace of vision.

I am pissed we didnt get Rodgers or Rambo but all our draft picks are studs and will contribute / help this team

We're more than halfway through the 6th round and Rambo *just* got drafted.

And Rogers hasn't been drafted *yet*.

And there were people who wanted to spend a 4th round pick on one or the other of them.

Yeah I would say B+. Very strong draft.

Star was a no-brainer. My five year old literally knew to take star. Doesn't mean it isn't a spectacular pick.

Short is Gettleman's Hog-Molly philosophy in play. I also assume there wasn't a CB/S/OL that we liked enough and I have no probelm with juicing the D line.

Cowabunga or whatever his name is seems like a reach from a D-2 but I'll give the benefit.

AJ Klein is a very good 5th round pick with good upside and will make a ST impact.

Barner has funny hair and I assume will help on ST as well.

No big complaints at all.

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      Sure.    ignore that he said this roster wasn’t good in 2023 to 2024 but keep up the effort

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
