I would like to see those numbers and see how many players are actually starting in the NFL for more than 3 seasons and didn't flame out.

Couldn't find that, but this is interesting as well.

 

 

The fact that an NFL team will take the best player for their team is manifested in a number of ways.  First, let’s look at the top three performers in each major statistical category (yes, three is arbitrary…but at least I admit it).  This includes stats in passing (QB rating, yards, TDs), rushing (yards and TDs), receiving (receptions, yards, TDs), and defense (solo tackles, sacks, interceptions, forced fumbles).

Because of ties, the total number is 43.  However, there are several repeats (e.g. Chris Johnson is the leader in rushing yards and tied for third in touchdowns) so the actual nis 33.  Nevertheless, here is a look at the conference breakdown:

  • ACC : 5
  • Big 10 : 5
  • Football Championship Subdivision : 5
  • Pac-10 : 4
  • Big East : 3.5
  • Conference USA : 3.5
  • Big 12 : 2
  • Independents : 2
  • SEC : 2
  • Sun Belt : 1

barring any trade up that shouldn't happen, unless we pick in the top 5-10, we aren't going to get anything close to an aj green/julio/megatron. talent that good gets drafted early.

 

count on making in effort, but not drafting a sure thing at WR after that. the same people bitching about the idea of taking a WR at 14 this year will be doing the same thing next year because they are deluded into thinking that no WR that isn't at that level shouldn't be drafted in the first except maybe late.

Both are quality receivers, but I disagree with you. Lee has great intangibles to his game, but the same could be said for Watkins. Both have great hands, run great routes but what is the main difference? Speed. While Lee is a little taller, he runs around a 4.5-4.6 40 dash. Watkins is a world class athlete that can run a "4.2 something". Sammy Watkins is going to destroy defenses and I want him in Carolina.

 

 

I don't know where you're getting those 4.2 numbers from, but Watkins has a 100m of 10.57 which equates to somewhere in the range of 4.49-4.54

Irrelevant though, because straight line speed means jack....

You are right. It wasn't a 4.2 something, that was a different player for Clemson. But he did run a 4.39 according to this source.

But I agree, straight line speed is pretty useless. I just think Watkins can outrun just about anyone on the football field.

Watkins is diverse and fast....Nuk is a better WR

 

Watkins has more ability than him, and like i said he still has one more year of college ball to approve. And he still would go higher in a draft with both of them in it. Just like Patterson would have went higher than Nuk if there werent questions about his mental game.

Even though I think we'll be out of range to get him, it will be the suck for Jadeveon Clowney show this year. Maybe Gettleman can pull a Madden trade and get Oakland to swap 1st rounders with us.

 

 

I don't think we're going to be that bad

Sammy Watkins plays for Clemson who is in the ACC. But I agree, the "mighty" SEC is made out to have dominated the draft, but these are the number of draftees from the last five drafts by conference.

  • SEC : 187
  • ACC : 184
  • Big 10 : 159
  • Pac-10 : 159
  • Big 12 : 148
  • Football Championship Subdivision : 90
  • Big East : 89
  • Mountain West : 61
  • Conference USA : 44
  • MAC : 44
  • WAC : 44
  • Division II : 25
  • Independents : 18
  • Sun Belt : 13
  • Division III : 4
  • Canada : 1
  • Community College : 1
  • NAIA : 1
Three more players than the next conference is not much of a "domination" if you ask me.

I know Watkins and Clemson is in the ACC. Im just saying its getting ridiculous hearing people say they don't want a player as good as Lee just bc he's from USC. And hearing people act like they don't want any players from a small school or not a SEC team.

Robert Woods is going to explode in the NFL and Lee is up next!

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
