Literally the worst draft in Panthers history


RumHam

Recommended Posts

Doesn't trade up. Plays safe for his token 1st round gem. Trades back multiple times and doesn't address holes. We don't have a backup QB. JT Barrett in 7th would have been nice. Linebackers galore and defensive tackle when we have plenty. Adios hurney

#2 WR/Offensive Playmaker : ✓

#2/3 CB who can play man and zone : ✓

FS who can cover the slot and also tackle and blitz : ✓ 

#2 TE who can block and catch: ✓

More pass rush : ✓

LB/Dline depth : ✓

Idk man we filled a lot of holes.

How predictable, and pretty dumb.

Yeah this draft was. Typical hurney conservatism. JR was in his ear. What was the point of having the extra third to just trade back and take camp fodder? When we could have literally thrown that to trade for something worth the damn. Hurneys ego is unbelievable.

If history can repeat itself AGAIN, we have a legit WR now! Makes this draft worth something! Who knows, we may get lucky and have a stud among the rest of the draft but I wouldn’t get my hopes up as it has only happened 3 times, 4 including Mathis. Hitting like the Saints did last year is rare, however, take comfort that we will have a new GM drafting next year and WR shouldn’t be a pressing need

Time will tell with Moore.

Corner who will not start.

Free Safety who wasn't a free safety.

#2 te for depth chart. That guy has no production.

We have plenty of pass rush and do depth. At that point we needed qb/rb/true safety

 

fuging boring and the whitest draft ever.

Got a possible true number 1 WR (first time since Smith left and Cam approves). Got a fast starting CB to compliment Bradberry. Got a starting safety that can line up and guard TEs and slot WRs. Got a TE that needs a year or two behind Olsen and could develop into our starter. Lastly got younger depth for our defensive line and linebackers late in the draft. Seems solid to me. I mean it’s always going to be a gamble and every guy you want will not get drafted by the Panthers (we are lucky they drafted one in D.J. Moore that most of us wanted).

Pretty sure he will emerge as the no.1 WR and I was against the pick!

CB will be #3 for awhile, then perhaps cut loose, but who knows

The S will be our Colin Jones 2.0

Ian Thomas is intriguing! He may be Hurney’s fifth ever Non 1st rounder to become a legit starter.

The rest are camp fodders. Accept it. Norton may push Love for a roster spot and the LB from UNC could be good depth and Mayo insurance on the short term.

Hurney absolutely did not make the "safe" picks on day one or two (when it really really matters), he chose the guys with the it-factor and higher upside. He did this with our round 4 pick as well. After that, it was all about value and upside. No need to reach with even late round picks when you can probably patch any more perceived holes with seasoned vets.

    • That doesn't sound like a theory rooted in the short term futures of their GM and HC. I doubt they survive to see the end of that plan.
    • The Raiders have already shown enough interest in Jeanty that anyone after 6 that wants him and would trade up for him, will already be calling the Jags for a trade anyways. The only thing them signaling interest in Jeanty could do if their interest was to trade back, would be to bluff the Raiders into making a swap with them to add draft assets while still drafting whoever they are actually targeting.
    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
