BR Post Draft Power Rankings

[Jackofalltrades]

You know you rolled your eyes when you read the title, if not for the notion of a power ranking in May then for the source...Bleacher Report.

I thought this was funny if...well, definitely for nothing else. After being ridiculed for not drafting/reaching for need by most pundits the highly reputable BR says this:

Throughout the draft, the Panthers reached for need to fill out the roster—including first-round receiver Kelvin Benjamin—but most of those picks won't turn into quality NFL starters right away.

They have us ranked 22. I find this just as ridiculous as grading draftees now, but I got a chuckle out of it.

 I don't get this we are targeting 2015 thing. Even in our terrible state in 2013, one of the things Gettleman demanded was winning.

Not to mention the front seven should be better and our 26th ranked offense can't be worse.

I'm actually disappointed that I got worked up over someone's opinion, besides it's BR...

I don't pay a bit of attention to post-draft grades or rankings.  I really should learn not to pay attention to pre-draft hype, but I can't help it.  I'm just starving for some football.  However, post-draft grades/rankings are the most worthless among a lot of worthless football "reporting" and "analysis".  Once the draft is over, no one gives a damn about what the pundits thought about the prospects.  Now we know what the actual NFL coaches, scouts, and GMs thought about them.  So, we especially don't give a damn about how the pundits think draft classes stacked up against their worthless opinions.

It's from Bleacher Report, what did you expect from a site that makes everything into a slideshow?

We're going to get to see how good Cam really is this year.

We have a great defense, everyone know's that.

But I still maintain that we have one of those Patriot offenses that if it wasn't commanded by Brady it would be sh*t.

I want to see Cam take his game to elite status.

[Instig8tor]

So Tampa and Atlanta are now better than us and NO is 17 spots better? Need some drug testing on the writers of this poo!

[FearTheCats]

This kind of annoys me but the writer is such an idiot it's not worth getting worked up over. 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Oh and I don't know why people continually get upset over these rankings.

Get upset about the economy or taxes, but getting upset over power rankings that have no bearing on how well we will or won't do... smh

Silly

I read this at work. I had almost forgotten why I hate BR.... and your exact quote you pulled made me want to throw my PC against the wall. 

Yes because "Reaching" for a DE, Guard, and RB... 

[BigSyke]

yeah even in cam's first 2 years, panthers were always close to winning games. really wasn't shocked when they jumped to 12-4...when you think about it.

 

panthers have a chance to get in the playoffs again and maybe win a superbowl.

[PantherWake]

Weren't we ranked like 22 or 23 last year?

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I read this earlier in the day and it said "the Jaguars" reached for virtually every pick.  At that point I discounted it and moved on.  I see that they fixed the glaring passerby error but failed to address the base context.  We never reached.for need.  We did the opposite.  Why take a DE in the 2nd and a safety in the 4th if you are reaching for need.  No logic.  Just filling a word quota.
