Is he OK? He's not taking this very well I'm sure. 

It will never happen but I wish some folks would simply say "damn I was wrong as hell about x player"

 

I know for me I posted a few times that if the Panthers were hell bent on drafting a rookie qb I would go tackle at 6, trade cmac for a first and pick howell.  Holy fug that would have been a disaster.  NFL scouts obviously see some major major issues with Howell and these guys

They just got zapped!

Honestly, after the Senior Bowl, people were panning Zappe's arm strength but he must have shown enough of the rest to be drafted over the two guys with the big arms.  Definitely shows the disparity between consensus mocks & rankings of the scouting depts vs. online/publications

It's why you should ignore mock drafts. Each team has its own scouts and set the board by the way they see the draft benefitting their team. 

You could put them all together and you couldn't find any of them agreeing on the number one over all much less specific positions.

It’s not just mock drafts. Zappe doesn’t have an nfl arm. Howell does. Jokes aside it’s just shocking.

Lesson learned. Stop believing the media, mocks and online big boards. Form opinions based on your own research and rephrase what you say about them to “this is who I would like us to draft”. Outside of the verge everything else most of you guys say is pure horse poo. Be happy when a guy you liked tape on is drafted and if you don’t know anything about someone that was drafted research and wait for camp before you start putting the ass in assume.

I enjoy them, it's just people trying to guess the draft correctly at the end of the day.  Fans shouldn't take them as draft guides for building their perception of who should go when.

Verge said numerous times that Willis wouldnt make it out of the top 10

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
