Seems about right to me, maybe even too high of a grade when you look at the entirety of our 2022 Draft Picks.

We left the draft itself with 1 player who will help us win games this year, our 2nd and 4th rounders went for Darnold, and our 3rd rounder went for our nickel CB, not to mention we traded next year's 3rd plus another 4th this year to take someone who literally might be replaced by our first round pick next year.

I absolutely LOVE the Ickey pick and give that pick an A++++ grade by itself, but beyond that, particularly when you add in the trades we made with this year's picks, the rest of the draft was probably a D at best.

It's probably a C/D-ish grade for me.

Basically Ikey and Corral. Highly unlikely any of those other guys will be Panthers in 4 years.

Ikey I feel good about and Corral is a decent gamble that we overpaid for. That puts the pressure on Corral to pan out, which I don't like. Bare minimum he should be a day one upgrade from Walker.

Definitely felt like a Hurney draft.

We definitely disagree on 2021. Time will tell. My growing suspicion is that we don't have people that are very good at talent evaluation. 

Those trade value charts look good on spreadsheets but they don't win on Sundays. Hence our records.

Yeah, if the grade takes into account that we traded our 2nd, 3rd and 4th (or original pick) then we’ll get a decent mark but if the grade is for total impact we goy Iky and the potential of Corral. Other than that every other pick is most likely a backup.

Actually, if you take into account what we traded for, it's probably an F grade.

Not really. If you take the Homer glasses off you come down to how many starters did we get. Last year, I liked it after the draft, aside from Trey Smith and our overall aversion to quality OL. The actual results were that Horn played a couple games and we got barely an impact from the other 10 picks.

This year we have Iky and a hope on Corral. I liked this draft as well because we were already behind the 8-ball having pick 6 and then a bunch of late day 3 picks. If Corral becomes our guy, it was solid draft. If Corral doesn’t, the last two drafts could easily be Horn and Iky. I really hope more guys step up to make our drafts look way better but you could look at the teams with multiple firsts this year and if they hit, their firsts could end up having as much as our 17 picks in the last two years.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer because our draft picks this year were hard to overcome even if it was our own fault. Here’s to hoping we get some surprises and some of last year’s rookies make a big leap.

The whole picture is in my view, along with no judgement until the two FULL NFL off-seasons are in the books. I take in the fact about the panthers not having 2 or 3 this year. QB, LT, and DE??? plus 10 highly rated players in 2021. You guys are trippin....... I will not hide if wrong tho, so put a bookmark on this. 

Quote me in the future- loved both, never felt this during any hernaiy draft.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
