Best Player Available Strategy


jtm

Recommended Posts

Panthers have always followed this. What makes people think that they all of a sudden will draft out of necessity? You could argue that they drafted out of necessity last year, and thus far hasn't worked out so well. Curious to hear others' thoughts. Fairley and AJ makes more sense out of necessity, but most boards have Bowers rated as a more pro ready player.

some would say Quinn is better than Bowers...

BPA--do you mean the best potential or the best college player?

BPA= Bowers if based on potential--possibly Quinn, who is rumored to have once run a 4.38 40.

BPA= Fairley if based on college performance when compared to others at his postition

BPA= Peterson if based on versatility (returner, can play CB or S) and freakish athleticism

BPA= Green if based on potential, rarity of skill set, and offensive need

that's based on Quinn not playing his last year... that doesn't speak to his actually skill/talent.

It has served us well when we have done it, however, and I think it's the best strategy to use.

I know it isn't very popular with the fan base, but some of our best drafts have been when we drafted best player available. Arguably, the Panthers started drafting out of necessity when we took Brown and definitely last year. You could say that the past two years we haven't drafted as well as we normally do.

As a result, I have a feeling that Hurney will go back to what has worked - BPA.

More or less, yea. However Jimmah was considered BPA by far at 2nd, but he surprised most with how bad he played. I still think last year's draft was pretty good. The only failures, IMO, were Jimmah (which no one reasonably could have predicted) and the trade for Armanti (huge fail). Lafell, Gettis, and Hardy were GREAT pickups and the other low picks (Pike, Stanford, Pugh) were low risk, medium reward types - no big loss even if they amount to nothing.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
