Grade the Panthers Day 1 Draft

[davos]

We got the guy they wanted and now we made a feared defense insanely better.  No complaints. 

 

I wasn't a Shaq buff for R1 but I'm going with it.

Its a tough pick to get excited about TBH. If we took a defensive guy who was fell to us at 25 (like Star or Ealy) I'd feel better about it.

 

Instead, we took a guy at a position we didn't need help at (yeah yeah I know TD is getting older and we didn't have an absolute stud for a 3rd LB, whatever, don't tell me LB was one of the top 5 spots we needed help at) right around where he was expected to be picked at, if not earlier.

 

Gonna trust in the fact that Gettleman is way smarter than the average NFL media writer/scout for the time being, but its hard to feel great about this pick.

B.

 

As long as we have a clear plan for him, I'm good with the pick. 

[Rags]

B.

 

Not a need, but improves our D. Gives us a guy who can cover HBs, TEs and Slot guys. Can tackle well.  I expect us to use him like a hybrid Mike Mitchel/Thomas Davis kind of deal.

Rate: 8/8 mate

The draft didn't do us any favors. It didn't fall perfectly where a player we really liked dropped to us... But Gettleman took the top player on his board. I like it. We got better today.

I have a friend that works for a draft website and he told me he has a 3rd/4th round grade on Thompson. But I trust Gettleman much more than this guy.

As in fugin A damn right baby!

[davos]

We should go ahead and take Rollins (2) and Tartt (3) and round out the best D in the league

[GoobyPls]

F-

 

A project a LB or Safety, this team seems more interested in building 3 years into the future than winning next season, that mentality gets people fired.

 

hopefully

C- because we reached. Bigger problems exist that needed to be addressed

TD said that Shaq is a better version of himself, and he was a great 1st round pick.  You haters are retahh-ded.

And just because TD says something means its true or will come to fruition? 

 

Lmao

 

As for the Grade. 

 

Id have to go with a B. 

 

Shaq has come question marks. This could turn out great or so so. 

 

Gotta give it some time.

I think TD has a much better concept of who is a better version of himself than any of us do, yes.
