PFF: The Carolina Panthers are having an ELITE draft…

It's a really good haul. 

Had been flirting with both these OLBs in eval but never thought we'd end up with both. 

Just thought we could land 1 like them if we went DT/Walker/TE/WR high.  The Athletic Football show discussed Scourton before round 1 -- how he was the perfect type of target for Philly at the end of R1 who could develop into a monster.  Not to mention people were eyeing him since before the 2024 season thinking he would be a top-10 overall guy, but then got shoved into a containment role.

Value wise, feel like we got a 1st round talent at 51 and a solid solid 2nd with Princely at 77.

Yea Dan is killing it.  Main reason I wanted to go Edge rd1 was that I knew it would be hard to get a starter in rd 2.  Dan played it perfectly.

It's a good draft so far, but we gotta show it when the rubber hits the pavement---err, AstroTurf (fu<king Tepper--cheap motherfu<ker!)

We went BPA, and we should have.

I dont agree that tmac was bpa so I guess we're both right

I sure hope they're right. But it's also worth noting that our head analytics guy is the former head analytics guy at PFF so our moves are always going to have a high chance of being viewed well by PFF. We're probably using a lot of the same metrics.

Didn’t realize this. That makes sense.

I'm not saying that T-Mac was for many people, but he was for many people, including Dan the man. It's all a part of it. I was once labeled the "Wide Receiver Extremist," so admittedly I may not be the most objective, but I love the pick. I think that we can agree that we all can learn to love why Dan made it.

Pass rush needed an upgrade, so both picks on day two went there.

Day one pick went towards finding a possible WR1 to pair with our other possible WR1, except this one is a natural hands catcher that wins with size while the other one wins with size and speed but doesn't have natural hands.

Well, I've always said this: PFF provides a lot of value pertaining to how they grade players. It's not perfect, but they can usually separate the wheat from the chaff. It's the other things that they do--all the rankings--that are more subjective in nature, and that seem to cause the most controversy among fans.

Well if you give it your stamp of approval, then I feel better (not that I feel bad about days one and two), and I'm not even being facetious. 

Now tell me what you (really) think of Nalo.

Well then every team takes BPA and you can't argue otherwise
