Grade the Panthers Day 3 and Overall Draft.

[Squirrel]

How could a 5th round comp pick ruin a whole draft...?

 

Unless you're talking about Shaq, then I don't really know what to say.

 

Because with trading all those picks Gettleman needed to hit on every pick.  We are overloaded  on LBers needed to churn the bottom of the roster and grab a safety or cb.

B, I liked everything except mayo. would have liked to see a DE there instead

[PantherFanOne]

Alhtough i wonder  about the Mayo selection,i still give our  draft an A,considering we  started out with the 25th overall selection.

Yeah I gave day 3 a B grade. But trade out the LB selection for a DB and it would have been an A.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Wanted to give this draft the D, but I'll give it a C. The Funchess trade is terrible unless he becomes a really good player. Until then he's a guy who drops a lot of balls, runs slow (watch his game against Notre Dame) and scored 75% of his touchdowns against shitty app state last year. The Mayo pick sucks ass. Coulda gotten some secondary help and have them contribute to special teams and defense. Mayo will be a special teamer his career in carolina. Completely worthless. Like the Cameron artist payne pick. The Oklahoma OT trade was great. Shaq should be a pretty good player.

 

So 3/5 picks I like = C (even if that is an F on a school grading scale)

I wish someone would bump this same thread from last year, I'm sure it will be comical.

Have you seen DG's board?

You go with the highest rated player, and that's what he does.

He wasn't the best player left on the board.

[KillerKat]

We kept hearing "BPA" but we really only selected guys DG liked personally whether or not they were the best available.

Some tunnel vision for sure.

[Fidel Cashflow]

This draft has been excellent.

Nope. It's what happened.

[Cpt slay a ho]

C+ barely, not sold on the first pick and the 5th round lb is a head scratcher I like funchess but felt we could have gotten him at our original 2nd pick if not strong would have been there

Easy A for me for the overall draft

 

Lets take a look at this

 

Pick 1:  possibly one of the best Athletes in this drafts and one of the most Versatile defensive weapons in this draft.  TD's Not going to play forever.  Might as well get someone for TD and Luke to take under their wings and groom up for the future.  Also his versatility is huge.  With more athletic TE's coming into the league and more no huddle uptempo coming into the league.  Him being able to slide around is Massive.  If Ealy progresses like some think he will.  We will have that top front 7 in the league again.

 

Pick 2: Funchess -  We need speed, this guys slow.  STFU.  We have acquired a heckuva a weapon.  6'5 230 40 times- low 4.47 (pro day) high 4.7 (combine) playing college ball at a B10 school in Michigan.  hmmm. where have I seen this before?

Funchess and KB on the outside is going to Take a Lot of attention from the safeties, opening up the Box.  Lets not forget we have Ginn, who knows the system, with a ton of speed to play the slot to open things up.  

 

Pick 3: possibly my favorite one of the draft Daryl Williams. Big nasty road grader with a mean streak to add to the right side.  Not a bad pass blocker either (see sugar bowl vs Alabama 2 years ago where he played LT)

 

We play big physical football.  And we got big guys in Funchess and Williams who should plug in real nice and fit shula system
