Not another insane draft Best Player thread! Yes, yes it is...


Recommended Posts

Since there are draft "best player" in the first and throwing up a Linbacker as a legit choice I figured to offer an actual value "best player" in the mid rounds. (3rd to 6th).

Still have a need for a KR/PR with the departure of Ginn.  Also with two aging, high priced RBs the next gen needs to get here and Barner looked every bit the rookie that he was.  Both of these guys project to HB/WR hybrid guys and offer dynamic playmaking ability that an Avant or Cothery do not offer. 

So seriously..if the Huddle is considering a lber in the first as a sane option..then I propose HB in the midrounds...actually more of a need IMO. Seriously. 

HB/WR/KR/PR : De'anthony Thomas, Orgeon Duck's engine for most the last two seasons and plays like he runs 4.2 easily.  He ran a disappointing 4.5 at the combine just like Barner did the year before. However his Pro Day reassured his play when times at 4.35/4.39

HB/WR/KR/PR : DRI ARCHER, fastest man alive at the 2014 combine 4.29 and has all the wiggles you need on the field.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
