Mel Kiper re-grades Panthers 2014 draft

His reasoning for giving the minus was that we didn't select a tackle, even though he admits there was no tackle worth taking. Look at the PFF grades of the tackles taken at 28 or below and they are almost all at the bottom of the league.

So? Tackles take time to develop...what kind of idiot claims a tackle a bust after a rookie year with no offseason?

Panthers need to show interest in the future of the position and to groom someone now, preferable two seasons ago.

Give the tackles taken in the 2014 draft the time Bell has had in the league and then let's compare Bells's 2014 season to any tackle's season from 2014 draft still starting on a team, two years from now. Something tells every single one will be better.

There is no excuse for going in with Bell and Chandler and comparing rookies to a 3 year vet is just fuging stupid, a rookie may suck but they'll get better. Bell and Chandler are not going to get better.

A- is the correct grade. 

 

You cant sit here and say well no T taken past 28 did good due to all the variables that go into such ie opportunity, coaching, etc. That is not even mentioning time to develop. 

 

The fact of the matter is we needed 2 T's in a major way and we didn't even attempt to find a diamond in the rough or a person we could coach up into a serviceable player.
