Draftinsider.net Panther's draft review

[XClown1986]

When was the last draft class all of our picks where on the active roster week 1?

I don't look at this class and see a guy that wont make the roster. Not unless something drastic happens like an arrest or an injury. Hard to argue against that. Past years be damned

Deep? Ha! Deep with no.2-4 type WR! No thanks, we got enough of those! We need a Bona Fide no.1

Come on dude... there were so many potential number one guys in this draft. Even Buffalo got a potential number one guy as an undrafted free agent. lets not lie to ourselves here. We missed the boat on wrs.

Well, if we bring in a vet G and the rookie is very raw it could happen.

Also, I think the RB could be questionable? How many RBs did we have on our active roster last season? Tolbert IMO is basically a 3rd RB....lead blocking isn't his bag.

Amini was raw. He learned as he went. Kugbila might not start, but he will make the roster, and will rotate in as needed/possible to get experience. You don't cut a 4th round pick after just drafting him. 5th-7th rounders are really the only guys at risk (the majority of the time, I know there are the FEW exceptions).

 

If Barner shows that he can hold onto the ball and contribute on special teams (at minimum), he will make the roster. He is too talented to risk putting on the practice squad in year 1.

 

Tolbert is a RB/FB hybrid guy, I understand that. Barner brings something different to the table than the other guys we have. Look at New Orleans, New England, San Francisco, Green Bay and others. The value of individual runningbacks may be going down, but the value of multiple guys with different skill sets are becoming more and more popular. Barner can be our Sproles/Woodhead/James/Franklin (was Green) type.

If we bring in a vet G, Hangman will be kicking rocks. Kugzilla makes the 53 regaurdless. You don't risk losing a developmental 4th rounder, by trying to sneak them on the PS.

Fair and accurate grade.

If you go ahead and pencil in a starting 5....Piggy IMO would be #6 IMO. Yeah, he sucks balls as a starting RG but if a C or G goes down he can step in and that versatility is valuable.

I think the G makes the roster...simply more trying to state I get the logic the guy was using. He could be beat like a drum all preseason and it shouldn't be a shock. He could be dominate and it shouldn't be a shock. With a guy like that it can go either way

If there were so many potential number ones in this draft, then guys like Allen and Patton would have been drafted in the first two rounds. They weren't. This class was filled with WR depth, but not #1s.

Rogers was barely talked about around these parts. It wasn't until we reached the later rounds where Da'Rick suddenly became a valuable target. Rogers has potential but every franchise skipped him for seven rounds. That's suspicious. He was nowhere to be found on McShay's and Kiper's boards.

You add talent to find #1s....you don't just find them in the first round of drafts.

Would have been a great article if it weren't for the Kugbila comment at the end. If the only stuff you read on this guy were headlines, you wouldn't know that he impressed position coaches with his combine performance and his ability to retain coaching instructions. 4yr/2.6M for a RG who at worse will take a year to develop... oh the humanity. 

[The Golden Child]

Other team's draft reviews on that site are also very fair and spot on.

Anythings possible. And IMO Kugzilla doesn't need to start this year anyhow,anyway. He needs to sit and learn. And i believe he'll most def make the cut. The G position is vital to the success of this line. Piggy could be a teacher, but at the level of play he provided last season, the only advantage he does provide is experience. He needs to be replaced,asap...

[Dont Check My Chicken]

Every pick was too good to pass up and that equals a GREAT draft. Our defense will be much improved and solid for years to come as a result of our draft. And that's just the obvious part... our other picks will make the roster and produce more than anyone can guess at this point.
