Bucky Brooks gives us a B-


NFL Executive

Recommended Posts

I think that is a pretty solid grade. Overall I'm happy with the draft we had with the picks we had. We got Otah last year for our 1st rounder this year, so essentially our first rounder this year is a player with a years experience.

People, Bucky included, seem to forget that this draft indirectly was about securing Otah (albeit last year), and Brown. This does really not equal a B- to me. It would have to be a B or B+, just for that fact alone.

In any event, letter grades from sports pundits (scout experience or not) is like shark chum for the fans. It's a small meal. We'll take it. But in the end it means about as much as the Wonderlic Test.

I gave the Panthers a b+ after everything had settled. We got Brown with 43rd pick (scout had him ranked as the 2nd best DE and the 9th best overall prospect in the draft), Martin will contribute at Nickel and may end up stealing the starting job from Marshall before the end of the year. Goodson is a good Backup and STer. We might have him return Kickoff's this season and maybe give him 3 or 4 carries a game with his speed and the rest of the runners on the team he could get big chunks of yards in a hurry.

My favorite two picks of the draft were actually our 4th and 5th round selections of Fiammetta and Robinson. Fiammetta will end up as the starter in a year or two (leaning towards just a year) and Robinson has a chance to come in and steal the job from Vincent this year.

Brown, Martin and Goodson will contribute for sure this season.

Robinson has a chance to get the starting nod, will Fiammetta will learn from Hoover and take his job in a year or two.

I'd say getting 5 Potential starters out of a draft is a good draft any year.

Brooks has worked as an NFL scout (even worked for Carolina at one point) and seems to know jack when you listen to him, so I take is opinion seriously.

He started his career out of Carolina as a 2nd round choice of the Bills. 93 or 94 I think? he had great speed, but his route running wasn't that good. I agree he has been around enough that his opinion is worth listening too.

    • A Quarterback in this mold is and was always going to take a long time to develop. I think he still has quite a bit to go.  We didn't draft him for his foot speed or arm talent. We drafted him to be the leader and commander of the offensive unit. and he is growing in that capacity on a weekly basis. Being smart and being able to make the correct adjustment and get your team into the right play and being able to get the ball to the right spot is the most important thing an NFL quarterback can do. You can scheme around it, you can simplify, you can try everything, but those skills make a dominant NFL quarterback more than anything else. More than anything else, that's what the Montana's, Brady's, and Manning's do. And those are the ones you want. What we are seeing with Mahomes is a guy that has the brains, unique arm talent, and above average foot speed. He may go down as the greatest. I don't see that in Bryce's future.  He's got a long way to go, but he's showing he's capable of being that game managing, offense controlling guy. While that type of quarterback is the most dominant, it also takes the longest to get them game ready, and if they don't ever get to a dominant level, they often don't pan out. So it is a risk. 
    • This is fake news as Trump would say. Nobody’s comparing seasons the nfl pundits ESPN first take si.com and other outlets are stating what we’re saying in this thread it looks like he’s regressing. Now to address your statement their leading their division ummm have you seen their defensive rankings compared to ours. You’re cherry picking which you can’t do with me I’m not a poster who’s here to argue I like thoughtful in depth convos. They have the 4th ranked defense put that in Carolina don’t you think we’d probably lead our division this year realistically. With the offense you’ve seen the last four weeks being average let’s just say with a 4th ranked defense how’d do you think we’d look or how many more wins would we have? You can’t say oh but they still lead their division knock it off it’s bc they have a terrible division and an elite defense. CJ is dealing with issues Bryce dealt with bad Oline and he has weapons but they’ve missed time and when out he’s looked below average having multiple 2pick games, the man’s had a 4 sack game followed by a 8 I repeat 8 sack game that’s a bad Oline leaving him to regress so Panther Bryce fans can’t pipe down we’re just stating facts bc yes they’re winning with a elite defense give a little more context to your statements it Matters!
