Mike Tanier's Panthers Draft Grade

[UNCrules2187]

Tanier has been a supporter of the Panthers/Cam, he was a believer last season when everyone else thought we were frauds. His draft "grade" is not pretty; this is just the conclusion:

 

Final Assessment: Remediation. Kudos to Panthers general manager David Gettleman for putting family first and attending his son's graduation on Day Three of the draft. Next time, he should put family really first by spending draft weekend at home making pancakes and watching the sunset, leaving someone in charge who will pick players the Panthers can actually use in 2014. This was an ugly draft, capping one of the worst offseasons I have ever seen a playoff team inflict upon itself. When the Panthers are 5-11 next year, people will straight-facedly blame it on Cam Newton's regression, ignoring the fact that Peyton Manning could not make this receiving corps serviceable. If Gettleman is one of those Cam-blamers, Panthers fans, be terrified.

[PantherWake]

IF we go 5-11 I will personally write all these draft graders a letter of commendation.

IF we push for a Playoff and Division Crown, I want all these fugging morons to write me a letter of apology.

I have no problem with people being stupid. Hellz, I have a whole fugging family of in-laws to deal with. It is when they try and shove that stupidity down your throat as fact.

The only fact right now? We don't even have a 53 man roster set. Until that happens NOT ONE PERSON KNOWS OUR FATE.

[iamhubby1]

who?

Some guy who owns a lap top or computer, and he was a Panther/Cam supporter last year. Sounds legit.

maybe if there's a good showing at rookie camp on saturday we'll get bumped up to 6

[Neylus]

50/50 chance he correct but damn!

While I admit this offseason has been pretty disappointing and I am questioning the Nippleshorts philosophy and plan, I'm not sure things are as bad as Tanier makes them out to be. I'd like to see who this guy thought we should have taken with our picks.

[Toundra]

I don't know what to think about our draft, i am happy with our 1, every one is obviously happy with our 3 so i am happy as well but what about 2, 4 ,5, 6?

To be continued..

He's right here - our situation is entirely self-inflicted. We ran all our receivers out of town, let our secondary walk, let our ace return guy walk, saw half our line retire, and opted to pay a defensive end $13 million (handicapping us all of free agency) rather than really fix these holes.

In the draft, we spent as much picks on DE and RB as we did WR and O-line. Byron Bell may be our left tackle, but at least we drafted another back! It's not like we already have four of them or anything. And we could have fixed a need spot, but why not draft another defensive end who will at best be a #3? It's not like we could have got a starter or anything.

In light of the first bit (self-inflicted wound), the draft simply wasn't good at all. Stop pretending it is - we are only marginally better than we were before it.

We did have 7 picks. I am pretty sure there are folks out there that could turn those 7 picks into a Super Bowl.

Now...all we have to do is find one of them. Sounds easy peasy. Craigs list? Angies list? Put an add in the personals. Got to be some way to find one of the guys.
