ATL     2.96

CAR     2.48

NO      2.37

TB      1.81

TB had the 3rd lowest grade, our draft was the 5th most polarizing.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

GPA: 1.81

Highest Grade: B, Mel Kiper

Lowest Grade: D, John Czarnecki, Ross Tucker

Comments: "I'm not really convinced that the Bucs had to trade up in the first round in order to select Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman," says Czarnecki. Tucker takes it a step further: "The Bucs probably could have traded down and still landed him." Weisman knocks the Freeman move and names the guilty party ("Hang this one on new coach Raheem Morris, who knew Freeman from Kansas State"), and says things went downhill from there ("drafted a couple of D-linemen who don't seem to be special").

Carolina Panthers

GPA: 2.48

Standard Deviation: 0.76

Highest Grade: A-, Tom Mantzouranis

Lowest Grade: D+, Gregg Rosenthal & Evan Silva

Comments: Mantzouranis on Carolina: "Flourishes in stressful situations." Apparently he is talking about the new Panthers and not Jake Delhomme. Anyway, for more on Carolina, we turn to Tucker, who gave them a B+: "The Panthers give up next year's first rounder for the second year in a row, but it doesn't matter because they got the pass-rusher they desperately needed ... in Everette Brown, a guy who many people thought could have gone in the top 15. Georgia defensive tackle Corvey Irvin will contribute in the rotation as a rookie." And then there's Rosenthal & Silva: "Brown only projects as a third-down rusher in the Panthers' 4-3 scheme."

No write ups for NO and ATL.

      Tyler Warren

      By d-dave · Posted

      Man, what interesting polarization here.  Some, hard pass while others would jump their own mom to make  the pick (ok, I just inserted that mental image, ha ha). Warren produced despite being the main focal point of the Penn State offense.  I didn't watch Penn State, but that's what a lot of talking heads are saying so take that with a gigantic grain of salt here!  When I watch the highlights and listen to the analysis: dude is a bully.  He's big, strong and fast enough.  Not a home run threat of a guy, but someone who can use his size and strength to his advantage, like how Gronk did.  Does that make him a sure fire HOF player before he plays a snap?  No, of course not! But I think it's also very important to look at what's happened to other high draft pick TEs.  Top 10 TEs rarely make an impact.  Look at Kyle Pitts in ATL.  He's a great athlete, but was he a worthy high draft pick?  TJ Hockinson.  He was suppose to be a can't miss product, and was traded to the Vikings.  Here's a handy list (despite the source, eww): https://thefalconswire.usatoday.com/gallery/nfl-draft-falcons-tight-end-kyle-pitts-hayden-hurst-atlanta/ There has been much better value drafting guys in the 2nd-4th rounds.  I have no idea if Warren will wash out or not, but I'd MUCH rather draft the best pass rusher, CB or even WR than a TE in the top 10.  Now if the Panthers traded down into the late teens or early 20s and they are sold on him being a difference maker...  I guess that's a different conversation. It could also just be a smoke screen.  Since we telegraphed Legette last year, could be gaming some of the other teams.  Or we could have a hard-on for him. I do enjoy the off season 😃
