C+ or B- . The offensive players we got look good but I wasn't impressed at all with the defensive selections. We'll see I guess. 

Defintely will re-evaluate the grade after their first year is over. I think particularly if we hit big on 2 of the of offensive players itll be a great draft from that alone. 

Getting that R2 pick next year back was probably my favorite thing about this draft even above any of the players. That was a gaping hole in the 2025 draft that I was miffed about when we did the trade up for Bryce. That trade down by Morgan this weekend effectively stopped the bleeding from the Bryce trade up, draft capital wise.

I heard that on draft night. Lots of teams wanted into the bottom of the 1st. I suspect a few were after a receiver.

Crazy how far off the predictions were after the top 4. I knew i liked Pearsall more than Ladd and thought he'd be around for 39 but nope. Those two should have been flipped in the mocks the whole time. Keon vs XL will be interesting but that also comes down to qb play and scheme how they'll succeed

Right now Imma have to give it an A grade just solely because this is the 1st year in a long time that we had a plan going into the draft and we actually executed said plan and not panicked and made a dumb trade or a super bad pick. The goal was to get Bryce some weapons and get some depth on defense and I say we did just that. We can argue if they were the right picks later once, we see them play but at face value we did exactly what we set out to do and that alone is a massive improvement from years past under Rhule and Fitterer.

I knew all mocks would be blown up by the 5th or 6th pick. It happens every year. There were a lot of reaching for qb's. I think a few teams panicked and just starting grabbing a qb just to get one. I seriously doubt more than 1 or 2 will still be in the league in 3 years.

6 qb's was ridiculous and Rattler/Pratt could be better than 5 of them for all we know

We got 3 guys I really wanted at positions we really needed help with that can help us out over the next chunk of years.

We got a few more who could give us some positive production for a while in some areas.

I loved it. I think it was a success.

We weren't going to fix every area of need, but it all starts with a few and we got some. We got at least three starters in this group (maybe not immediate but it won't take long). And we got a few other who can be big time producers.

What we did this weekend sets us up to be better this year and makes it easier to get the team where it needs to be next year. We made the draft next year easier to address remaining needs.

I'm not going to micro-analyze this draft. I'm just looking at the big picture and  we made the team significantly better in a few big areas. I give them an A.

Honestly, Rounds 1-4 we're just what the doctor ordered. Rounds 5-7 I thought there we're better players available at the position we drafted but I feel these players drafted have a certain disposition that Morgan is looking for.  

Plus getting a #2 next season really helps.

It's a B+ for me. 

I can't wait to see them on the field.

If you add everything this off-season FA, trades, the draft and UDFAs to the mix I think our off-season is an A+.

One thing I'll say about this draft is we seem to have drafted particularly the 3 offensive players guys who have a specific personality trait. They aren't keep your head down types or timid they want to compete and they are confident in themselves. Pairing that with Canales I at least have some optimism about our offense going forward now.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      By PadresPanthersFan · Posted

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
