For all those "We suck at drafting" people

Drafting is more about just All Pros. The issue with our drafting is that it has largely been boom or bust. We’ve had numerous entire draft classes that were entire busts or where we got one great player and the rest was utter trash. Those types of drafts really show up on your overall depth chart. It’s how you end up with our secondary last year and fielding a WR corps of practice squad players in a playoff game.

So you're saying that Hurney was almost always able to nail his 1st rounders?

Isn't that what everybody has been saying all along?

No I'm saying out of the entire league we have done very well drafting first team All Pros. Which is pretty cool. I also find it interesting GB only has 2 which really shows how much Rodgers has done for that team.

You can look at it with a 'but we haven't won a SB with 'em' attitude, but I'd rather just enjoy it as cool too.

About 50% of drafted players actually make it in the league.  Hurney is damn near 100% in the first round, which means that his picks which are potentially great hit with regularity.  His other picks drag his performance down to normal levels, but since his hits are consistent in round one, he actually ends up drafting better than most.  Everyone just thinks he sucks because half his day two picks fail, and he doesn't manage to find all-pros in day three.

Most of those who say our drafts suck are also the ones who always proclaim we suck. They were particularly loud, wrong and stupid last year as they decried an 11-5 season.

Welcome to "Who's Huddle Is It Anyway" where the points are made up and the score doesn't matter!

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
