Mel Kiper re-grades Panthers 2014 draft

If we had taken a tackle first then the grade would be a B- and we would be bashed for not getting a WR

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.

It seems to me Gettleman made the right decision by not drafting a tackle.

If anything Gettleman should be praised because he could of picked a tackle out of need and reached for one or picked a bust. Kiper is a tool.

A bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.

So which of our very promising rookies, which were also at positions of need, would you like to give up for this hypothetical tackle?

Yeah, don't know how we didn't get an A. With many stepping up and playing a big role in our turn around. We got a minus because Kiper believed we should have reached. However, that's not our philosophy now. We ought to get credit for passing o some and getting them u drafted.

Dear Mel:

Thanks for giving me a reason to keep drinking.

This is dead to rights accurate. Downgraded for not reaching for an OT but would get hammered had we done so.

Still pretty good recognition though

I'm starting to believe people love to hate the panthers.

We know what we got, we don't need that dude's approval.  He didn't ask for our approval when he got that stupid hair cut, did he?

It is not so much that they hate us.  To me they are just more comfortable living in a world where they do not have to acknowledge our existence whatsoever.  Too bad for them that world will soon be coming to an end.

I don't understand how people read or enjoy anything ESPN puts out. It's nothing but a hot take typed up in about 15 minutes. There are too many great places for honest evaluations and information that to spend any time with ESPN.

I wanted us to get Seantrel Henderson so bad with our last pick

Does anyone remember our draft grade in May? That's an important part of this topic.
