Bucky Brooks gives the Panthers an A-

[TheSpecial1]

On their 2014 Draft

 

Critics will suggest that the Panthers' sub-.500 record is indicative of a disappointing season, but the team claimed the NFC South title and won a playoff game -- thanks in no small part to the efforts of a superb 2014 class. The team got a 1,000-yard season from Kelvin Benjamin, who provided the NFL with a glimpse of his potential dominance as a WR1. Trai Turner shored up the interior of the offensive line and paved the way for Jonathan Stewart to make an impact in key moments. The defense started to flex its muscles when Tre Boston and Bene' Benwikere were inserted into the secondary down the stretch. Benwikere in particular played exceptionally well over the final month of the season, blanketing premier receivers in one-on-one coverage. With Carolina also receiving solid contributions from an undrafted free agent (receiver Philly Brown), there is a lot to like about the Panthers' rookie class.

Corrected.

Nice write up. I hope we can have an even more successful draft coming up.

Brooks has only given A's to us and the Raiders, so far.

Brooks was the only one that had Benwikere mocked to us last year. It was like his mock 7.0 or something, but he had him on the Panthers.

I respect these experts' opinions about personnel more than those of many (not necessarily in any order):

1. Greg Cosell

2. Gil Brandt

3. Mike Mayock

4. Bucky Brooks

Corrected.

Why do you give a poo? You seriously can't come up with anything more intelligent than that?

[Lumps]

Meh...still think the team had a ton to improve on and I'm sorry, back to back champs really doesn't mean much, had we lost that last ATL game I don't think I'd feel any different, we won the division because the division sucked. I just can't be happy with 7-9 winning the division or not we should have been better and we'll need to be better.

Last years draft has made me ten times as excited about this years.. I can't wait

[PantherFanOne]

Good ole Bucky Brooks,he always gives us props and cuts us slack.

[PantherFanOne]

I wish Gettleman was younger

 

I am more concerned about the shape he's in than his age. I would like to see him around for awhile,so i'm hoping he drops a few pounds for his healths sake.

Can't believe the Browns drafted Johnny Football over Carr.
