Your Carolina Panthers Draft Grade On Day Two?

Guess we can as for my post

What I'm saying is you have a draft board with draft rankings.. Correct? You rank guys based off of potential, how they project as NFL players.

That's what the draft is all about, every single player in the draft is an unproven commodity in the NFL. The fact that one played in the SEC and the other in D2 only matters during evaluation. Once that's over and the board is ranked, it doesn't matter where you played at in college.

If you take a guy who's got a first round grade in the early second, that's a value pick regardless of where the player played.

That's all I was saying about the Value/reach factor. You can say he won't work out because of his college, but that still doesn't effect his current Draft Reach/Value factor.

yeah I see what you're saying

I just think a guy who has already faced the best DE's and DT's in the league (mostly from big conference schools) .. and has played well against them .. is easier to predict how they'll perform in the NFL .. since they're going to be up against those same guys they faced while in college

good point tho

True .. but if they've played against former/current NFL players while in college .. It's at least some indication they can hold their own on the next level

At least more indication vs someone who has NEVER played against elite competition in college

Here is a list of previous second round draft choices since 2002. .

DeShaun Foster,

Bruce Nelson,

Keary Colbert,

Eric Shelton,

Richard Marshall,

Dwayne Jarrett,

Ryan Kalil

Everette Brown,

Jimmy Clausen,

Only Clausen didn't play in one of the big conferences and he did play for Notre Dame against some decent competition at times. And the only one of the group to be significantly successful was Kalil. Based on the success (or lackthereof) of this group, maybe its time to try a small college player in the second round.

that has nothing to do with where they played

that's just bad drafting lol

there are PLENTY of other players from larger conferences drafted in the second round that do very well .. no need to reach when there are plenty of talented players available in second round

other teams seem to be able to find them!!
