I've seen lots of post comment on how this years draft is weak talent wise.

I think this years draft is deeper infact than last years draft which was deemed best in the last few years.

Look at the number of good qb prospects coming out,where locker would have been number one last year he's looking at third best right now.

A class that includes Luck,Mallet,Locker,Cam Newton,Kellen moore,Ponder,Devlin and other elite talents.

The running back position is shallow and not as deep as last season.

The wr position has the potential to be one of the best ever with green,jones,baldwin looking like first rounds.

you have talents like micheal floyd,Blackmon,Broyles guys who any other year would have been first rounders.

The OL isnt so great this year but the Defensive ends are pretty good.

You have Bowers,Clayborn,Quinn,Bailey and others making it elite.

Solid dts and linebackers with great cornerbacks.

With the right picks in place team could make vast improvements this year.

I just wanted to see what the board thought about depth in this years class.

Last year was by far deepers than this year's. Locker would have been a 2nd round pick last year. Don't believe the media on draft value.. they are not always right. Sam Bradford would have been the #1 pick regardless if Locker came out. In fact, Luck and Mallett would be the only 2 1st round QBs that you just named.

The draft is fairly top heavy this season with not a lot of depth.

that's the feeling I'm getting....we have two third rounders (compensation for Pep) so don't be surprised if we move back up into the second round

We can't trade comp picks, so I'm not sure what we would have to give up to get back into the second would be worth it. See Everette Brown.

You are either ten years old,are legally retarded, or you just don't watch any football and just look at stats. (that still wouldn't explain your third grade writing)

the fact that you said certain positions aren't that deep this year just clarifies that last year was in fact deeper. there was no real weak position last year, because all the best players declared for the draft early so they could get payed in the event there was a rookie cap installed or there is no football next year.

Every position was deep last year. there was second round talent and even some third round talent that could have been first round talent any other year. poo was wild.

Just because i don't know the exact numbers on those positions. last years class was not good at lb at all.

i agree with this.

thats a lot of the reason i've said we should trade back into the 2nd and then trade away all the picks we are allowed to trade after the 3rd round for vets.

with the exception of the top tier of talent, this isn't an incredible draft at all.

Can you do us all a favor and never post again? :thumbsup:

All of your posts are fact-less and opinionated with no intelligent material whatsoever.

This year looks good for CB and WR, and as mentioned is pretty topheavy. After the top 10 talent drops off like crazy. There's going to be alot of reaching for players that aren't really worth the spot they're taken at. And the lineman class as an overall group looks terrible.

I totally agree. If we trade back from #1 (if we get it) I hope we get some picks next year in return:yesnod:

Last years draft was reminiscent of the 04 draft, where we got Gamble, and a ton of All Pros went in the first, and throughout.

This years draft reminds me of the draft of a year after: some nice players, but weak overall. Also, two good players who play positions not really worth the top three overall, went in the two and three respectively lol--Ronnie Brown and Braylon Edwards. Sorta sounds like what could happen this year with Peterson and Green.

One good thing we may have going for us is that the early enrollee Pac-10 QB who SHOULD have went no 1 overall that year is now the best QB in the NFC, so maybe history will somewhat repeat itself...somewhat. Y'know as long as we dont screw up like San Fran and take the overrated running QB who cant throw

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
