Hopefully 2010 Draft Be As Good As 2009

This 2009 draft was very solid drafting, I hope we continue to draft like this again in 2010.

Rd 2, Pick 11 (43) Brown, Everette DE - Played good, showed lots of upside (22 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 2 fumble rec.)

Rd 2, Pick 27 (59) Martin, Sherrod S - Played great when Godfrey was injured, a bright future ahead of him (23 tackles, 3 ints)

Rd 3, Pick 29 (93) Irvin, Corvey DL Injured Reserved, I hope he recovers and develop into a good OT.

Rd 4, Pick 11 (111) Goodson, Mike RB Got overwelmed during the season, but showed some flashes in the pre-season (22 carries for 49 yards, 17 returns for 352 yards)

Rd 4, Pick 28 (128) Fiammetta, Tony FB Not yet ready to take over Hoovers job but has shown flahes, hope he improves next season.

Rd 5, Pick 27 (163) Robinson, Duke OT Good back-up player, needs to improve on run-blocking.

Rd 7, Pick 7 (216) Munnerlyn, Captain - Steal of the draft (the whole 2009 NFL Draft IMO), sure tackler and always around the ball (44 tackles, 1 fumble rec, 31 Punt Returns for 279 yards)

Undrafted RFA

Tyrell Sutton - Very reliable player, could be the next Hoover type player for the Panthers (6 recs for 62 yards 10 yads ave., 12 carries for 68 yads 5.7 yards ave., 14 KR for 302 yards 21.6 yards ave.)

Fixed

Present Value of:

EB with a year of experience and a round cheaper in money > player to be had with 17th pick in 2010

I personally really like the trading out of the over-priced first round, especially in the top 20-25 picks. Best value to be had is the late 1st and then all of 2nd and 3rd.

Brown- Was alright

Martin- Played in a couple games and looked slightly better than Godfrey. He isn't Jesus.

Irvin- lol

Goodson- lol

Fiametta- lol

Robinson- Was he ever active besides the time when we lost 3/5 of our starting offensive line?

Munnerlyn- Good pick. Might be a decent #2 cb.

Yes, more drafts like that please.

Why is this same exact post on the charlotte.com forum? Copy and paste much?

They are all rookies. What did you expect...we draft nothing but instant pro bowlers? I have to agree with the OP. This draft shows a lot of potential. The next couple of years will tell us for sure.

I'd expect us to draft rookies that might actually contribute. Drafting only players who might contribute in a couple of years is a shitty way to draft when you need talent right away.

Well, how many rookies on average start in the NFL every year? 60? Maybe? Since we don't have a #1 this year, don't be looking for a starter this draft you might be disappointed. I'm not saying it won't happen, Hurney has a way of surprising you at least once every offseason. (should there be a (-) in offseason? :lol:)

No, we are going to have to be a little more active in the FA periods to fix the immediate holes this team has.

This has more to do with Fox's pussbag style of coaching, than who's the better player. There's plenty of evidence during his tenure to prove that Fox will start a weaker vet over an 'unproven' player who shows more ability, making it especially difficult for rookies to see playing time.

I don't really agree that it is due to Fox's style, I just think it is the nature of the NFL. Very few rookies actually get extensive playing time and are integral to their team's base schemes. It's just that fans hear of a handful of rookie contributors and think their team should have done better...no matter how unrealistic that view is. Most rookies' biggest contribution comes on special teams and in spot duty. And that is exactly what we got out of most of our rookies.

Overall, it looks to be a very solid class with the potential to be excellent if some players continue to develop and turn their flashes into consistent play.

    • it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.    
    • Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.
    • Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
