A couple of years ago, a Harvard student group actually broke down the analytical skills of both Kiper and McShay. Their findings? They're both equally terrible. https://harvardsportsanalysis.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/equally-inaccurate-an-analysis-of-mel-kiper-jr-and-todd-mcshays-draft-rankings/

Not a big fan.

Forgot about Brandt. He's a good one too. Everyone's opinion is just that - their opinion. There's nothing anywhere even close to a consensus in terms of a player's draft prospects. Every team's draft board probably looks quite a bit different based on their scouts' opinions, their needs, and the type of systems they run.

Kiper and McShay are loud mouthed hacks. The only national media "draft experts" I pay much attention to are Cosell and Mayock.

I think the media has picked the Saints and Falcons to finish ahead of us every year for about a decade straight. It's certainly nothing new. It's as if the media thinks every other NFCS team has the ability to improve while the Panthers are bound to be worse than they were the previous season. It's weird.

Remember when people on this site used to constantly complain about UNC homers? The Miami homers have far surpassed any UNC homer annoyance.

Why would we want a head case like Marcus Peters, especially at #25? No thanks.

If we do something like sign Greg Jennings tomorrow, then you know Gettleman is a true troll at heart.

He may not be a hot topic of conversation, but I think virtually everyone assumes he'll be starting at DE opposite Charles Johnson.

Neither. They won't be the only two players on the board.

I'd bust a fuging nut if we landed Devante Parker. I really like Strong and would take him in an instant, but Parker? Wow. Blue goose.

I don't have any huge problem with any of the picks other than Perriman, but that is some serious east coast bias. Not a single pick from west of the Mississippi.

This. It's almost impossible for me to imagine him being worse than Chandler or Foucault.

Jaelen Strong in the 1st and Cedric Ogbuehi in the 2nd? Sign me up.

Yet, his former college coach who presumably knew him very well snatched him up very quickly when he became available. That's about as strong of an endorsement of Martin as I can imagine.

Very possible. Though, I don't think any pair of OTs will surpass the infamy of Bell/Chandler in the minds of Panthers fans for a long, long time. At least I hope not.

I don't see how anyone could not like this signing. There's virtually zero risk involved.

Not sure how much influence Fox has over personnel in Chicago, but I can't imagine he'd value CB over a pass rusher anyway.

I like our starting CBs, but I don't like having to rely on Colin Jones to play nickel.

Oh well. Would've liked to have had him, but Alan Ball isn't going to make you or break you as a team. IMO, we were signing him for insurance purposes just in case the cards don't fall correctly for us to take a CB in the draft this season. Even if we'd signed him, I still think we would've been looking CB in the draft.

Yep. It's why tendered restricted FAs are rarely offered deals by other teams. Other GMs know they're simply negotiating the terms of the contract for his current team.

1. KB 2. Vet other than Cotchery, Jennings is just fine 3. Rookie or Ginn 4. Rookie or Ginn 5. Brown Not buying the Hill talk.

Do not want. But, with that said, if Proehl signs off on him that's all I need.

Love it. Maybe someone reaches on the workout wonder and a real WR like Strong falls in our lap.
